How does laughter work?

Laughter is a mechanical reflex in response to pleasant stimulation, which can be psychic, such as a joke or a physical situation, caused by tickling, for example. When we laugh, the diaphragm contracts, so much so that it massages the internal organs located in the belly. The more we laugh, the more the wave of laughter propagates in the body to solicit up to 600 different muscles, starting from the face and going up to the legs! Thus, laughter relaxes the whole body, like a gentle gym.

Likewise, laughing makes us feel good. When we laugh, we stimulate dopamine, which promotes the feeling of pleasure, and the synthesis of serotonin, which is reduced in depression.

Laughing stimulates the secretion of endorphins, or endogenous morphine. These neuropeptides, also released by sports or sexual activity, have the power to reduce anxiety and have pain-relieving properties.

Laughter is good for the heart

Laughter therapies

Given its many virtues, laughter is used more and more to treat, or at least reduce certain discomfort, especially in hospitals. Think of those clowns who aim to bring smiles back to hospitalized children. They are there to make the pain more bearable.

Other goals are targeted at laughter clubs, where laughter yoga is practiced to relax and relieve stress. In these sessions, which are similar to a yoga class, we learn to breathe and we start by forcing a laugh. As this one is contagious, it is not uncommon for the whole group to end up laughing.

In conclusion, we can give as advice to laugh as much as possible every day, and to work on your sense of humor. Don't we say: “Smile at life and life will smile at you?”.
