Comic Study Finds Laughter Helps Heart Health

IComic: Study Finds Laughter helps heart health, Shanghai, China, August 29, 2023. Science has proven that regular laughter is actually good for you, especially when it comes to your heart health. Half of the patients were asked to watch two different hour-long comedy shows a week for three months, and the other half watched two different serious documentaries a week. When scientists examined their bodies at the end of the 12-week study, they found that the comedy patients' hearts had a 10 percent increase in the flow of oxygen throughout the body, and markers of inflammation were significantly lower. Coronary artery dilation also improved. Studies have found that laughter therapy is a good intervention to help reduce inflammation and reduce the risk of heart attack and stroke."
