Laughter need a healthy heart

Heart - the motor of our body. It is potentially perpetual motion. If not forever, then 100 years without disruption to work the heart is capable. To do this, just need to be attentive to it. People have forgotten how to laugh. This is the conclusion, researchers led by Dr. Kataria Sachandra Gupta from the hospital Indraprastha Apollo, wrote The Times of India.

According to his calculations, before people laugh for 18 minutes a day. Today, this time does not exceed six minutes. And in my childhood people can laugh up to 400 times per day. In adulthood - only 15 times a day. Meanwhile, there is medical evidence that laughter improves health. Laughter is a great workout for your heart and lungs. So, while laughing heart rate increases, and the brain relaxes.

Also no secret that over 70% of all illnesses are caused by stress. Someone turns to alcohol, cigarettes and drugs, in order to cope with this stress. But Dr. Gupta calls to cope with stress through laughter. According to the survey, most useful when a person laughs, his mouth wide open. Giggles with closed lips, on the contrary, has the opposite, negative effect. It should therefore be not only more likely to laugh, but in a certain way.
