    -        World Laughter Day takes place on the first Sunday of May of every year (This year May 3, 2020) .

-        World Laughter Day was created in 1998 by Dr. Madan Kataria, founder of the worldwide Laughter Yoga movement.

-        The first celebration was held on January 10, 1998, in Mumbai, India.

Here are Some Health Benefits of Laughing:

1)  Relaxes Whole Body: Laughter relieves physical tension and stress, leaving our muscles relaxed for up to 45 minutes after.

2)  Boosts the Immune System: Laughter decreases stress hormones and increases immune cells and infection-fighting antibodies, thus improving our resistance to disease.

3)  Triggers the Release of Endorphins: The body’s natural feel-good chemicals. Endorphins promote an overall sense of well-being and can even temporarily relieve pain.

4)  Protects the Heart: Laughter improves the function of blood vessels and increases blood flow, which can help protect us against a heart attack and other cardiovascular problems.

5)  Burns Calories: Laughing for 10 to 15 minutes a day can burn about 40 calories—which could be enough to lose three or four pounds over the course of a year.

6)  Lightens Anger’s Heavy Load: Looking at the funny side can put problems into perspective and enable us to move on from confrontations without holding onto bitterness or resentment.

7)  May Even Help to Live Longer: A study in Norway found that people with a strong sense of humor outlived those who don't laugh as much.
