Laugh yourself to better health

We already know that we feel good when we laugh. This is because the body releases endorphins, the feel-good hormones. But laughter is becoming a powerful aid in medicine too, as these endorphins also act as natural painkillers in the body.

When i first diagnosed with renal failure, my friends and family are worry about me. My aunt from US called, she told me to watch more comedies and laugh more as research shows that laughter can make us feel healthier.

I used to laugh a lot before i am sick, but whenever i laugh i received negative comments. Some ppl told me, you'll have wrinkles later if u laugh too much, and some will said i'm gonna had bad dreams tonight cos i laugh today, And some said i laugh so much now i will cry later ( meaning that something bad gonna happen). All these comments are so supersticious.

i read an article about laughter from a food magazine "Simply Lite".The article is about how some doctors uses laughter as one of the therapy to stimulates heart and blood circulation. The idea of using laughter as therapy in modern times caught public attention when American journalist Norman Cousins announced that he had cured himself of an "incurable" spinal disease by adopting a humorous attitude towards life.
