We're not kidding; laughter has many long-term health benefits, both physical and mental. When you laugh, your whole body relaxes, relieving physical tension and stress. By reducing your stress level, you'll feel better, have more energy, and stay focused.

When you look for the humor in situations, you can easily change your perspective and see things in a different light, making you more hopeful, and better able to deal with challenges. Plus laughter is contagious and helps you connect with friends, family, and coworkers. Building better relationships is key to maintaining a positive outlook and warding off loneliness and depression.
