Why and how laughter is good for health?
By Dr. Kanthimathi 

Laughter is good because:
-It reduces the physical and mental tension
Keeps the muscles relaxed up to 45 minutes after.
Decreases stress releasing hormones
-Increases the immune producing cells and infection fighting antibodies
Benefit on cancer patients: Laughter therapy decreases stress, and improves  NK cells level and immunity 
It can not cure the cancer. But helps to cope up with pain.
-Reduces blood pressure 
 -Improves resistance and gives 
overall sense of well-being by releasing endorphins 
-Burns calories 
-Can be compared to a mild workout 
       Researchers have found out that physical act of intense laughing can be compared to a mini workout similar to aerobic exercise increasing heart rate, respiratory rate and oxygen consumption.
