Research shows that laughing can
boost the immune system, helping the body to stay disease free and fight colds
and the flu, and can help people with type 2 diabetes process sugars after
meals. Above all else, It`s FREE!
So laugh ... smile ... go check out
a funny movie or learn a new joke. Whatever it takes to put a smile on your
face is what you should be doing right now. 
It`s a totally free, simple way to
boost your spirits and your health without the need for a prescription! Make it
part of your morning routine, look into the mirror and smile back at yourself,
do that as much as you can throughout the day, be careful, it is highly
contagious. Allowing yourself to get swept away with overall good humor, is
beneficial to the cardiovascular system, respiratory system, muscular system,
central nervous system and endocrine system. Dr. Joseph Mercola suggests that if you are facing an illness, having a positive outlook and a sense of humor will keep your body open to healing. If you are healthy, laughing will help to make sure you stay that way, and can add enjoyment to your work and home life and reduce your daily stress.
Of course, it can be hard to keep a
positive outlook all the time. Simply taking the time to focus on the positive
and be thankful for the good things in your life can help, but if you are
struggling with negative emotions that you just can’t seem to overcome there
are tools that can help. There`s a technique that Dr. Mercola recommends, it
called the Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), which he commonly
uses in his practice to help patients deal with all kinds of negative emotions.

Smiling and laughing will also go a
long way toward improving your health, so try it--you have nothing to lose! There
are so many things out there to smile about and all you have to do is find one.
Try something out of the ordinary like walking barefoot through the grass,
taking time to watch the sunrise, close your eyes and feel the cool morning breeze
across your face. Don’t overlook the joy in everyday things like talking to
your kids and walking the dog. You’ll be amazed at how much brighter things can
become when you look at them through smiling eyes.
Start right now…smile for no reason
and feel how much better you feel.
