What use is laughing?

There’s nothing like a good laugh to make you feel better!

Even better, when you laugh, you make lots of friends. Everybody understands this language!

And what is great, is that laughing is contagious: when we see someone with the giggles, it makes us laugh too!

But why does laughing make us feel good?

When you laugh, it’s like a wave shaking the muscles in your body, from your face to your toes! Afterwards, you feel completely relaxed.

Laughter triggers the fabrication of chemical substances in your brain that reduce stress, pain and make you feel good; a cocktail of well-being spreads through your body.

When your tummy muscles contract, they give your belly a good workout.

Your heart beats faster improving blood circulation. You breathe more deeply too.
