This sure made my day!

Laughing is a vital tool for your health, so take this opportunity right now to enjoy a good belly laugh. I guarantee you; these videos of laughing babies will definitely put a smile on your face!

Laughter is, indeed, a key ingredient to optimal health, and I know of no good reason not to try and make sure you laugh as often as possible, everyday.

If you‘re not convinced, there is plenty of research to back up this advice:

  • Laughter increases blood flow as much as exercise does
  • A happy disposition can lengthen your lifespan, regardless of age, weight, or smoking habits
  • Laughter helps diabetics process blood sugar better
  • Positive emotions can help you see life‘s bigger picture

Exactly why laughter is so good for you is not fully understood, but who cares? It‘s fun. It‘s easy. And, it works.

According to some anthropologists, laughter creates bonding within a group, which may explain why you are 30 times more likely to laugh when other people are present, and why laughter is often contagious.

So… go ahead… share these videos with others, spread the laughter, and strengthen your bonds of friendship at the same time!
