When you start to laugh, it doesn&#8217;t just lighten your load mentally, it actually induces physical changes in your body. Laughter can:<\/p>\n<p>Stimulate many organs. Laughter enhances your intake of oxygen-rich air, stimulates your heart, lungs and muscles, and increases the endorphins that are released by your brain.<\/p>\n<p>Activate and relieve your stress response. A rollicking laugh fires up and then cools down your stress response and increases your heart rate and blood pressure. The result? A good, relaxed feeling.<\/p>\n<p>Soothe tension. Laughter can also stimulate circulation and aid muscle relaxation, both of which help reduce some of the physical symptoms of stress.<\/p>\n<h3>Long-term effects<\/h3>\n<p>Laughter isn&#8217;t just a quick pick-me-up, though.
