    A good hearty laugh can help:

    • reduce stress
    • lower blood pressure
    • elevate mood
    • boost immune system
    • improve brain functioning
    • protect the heart
    • connect you to others
    • foster instant relaxation
    • make you feel good.

    I know when my oldest sister and I get together, she can make me laugh like no one else can. Why is that? I watch that with my own kids, as my daughter has always been able to make her younger brother roar with laughter - which in turn makes my husband and I laugh, because it is SO contagious!
