Blood & all major organs are fully
oxygenated leaving us bursting with energy.
Lloyd (Journal of General Psychology,
1983) showed that laughter is a combination of deep inhalation and full exhalation, inspiring excellent ventilation, wonderful
rest and profound release. Increased circulation helps flush the organs of waste products, helping us to operate at peak performance.
Our lymphatic system is
massaged and our immune systems boosted.
Laughter causes an “internal jogging”
that massages the internal organs and promotes circulation to the digestive and lymphatic systems.
Strengthens
the immune system.
Laughter
deepens the breath, which is shown to increase lymphatic flow, which in turn is already thoroughly documented and proven to
boost the immune system with fast increases in levels of anti-viral and anti-infection cells (including the so-called "natural-killer"
cells which help fight cancer). Laughter also increases the levels of immunoglobulin A (IgA), the first line of defense protecting
us against viral infections such as coughs and colds. Immune, digestive & sexual systems that are switched off by stress
are switched on.
Depression is lifted, even chronic depression is often cured.

Anti-aging formula.
Many older Laughter Yoga practitioners claim that the facial exercise of laughter
reduces wrinkles and sagging by firming and toning facial muscles, making them look (and if anything else "feel")
younger. Overall exercise is known to slow down the aging process and Laughter Yoga is a fun and easy exercise for all age
groups.
Catharsis.
By enhancing the free flow of emotions, laughter can help dislodge blocked emotions stored in
the body. Suppressed or blocked emotions can cause ongoing physical, mental and emotional problems. Their release can be life-changing.
Laughter provides an excellent non-violent method for emotional release and catharsis.
