giggling is good
dear mr. president:
it’s probably been a while since you’ve felt like this but i wanted to share some good news with you. recent research suggests that laughing does a body good. we already knew that it relieves stress and lightens moods but a recent study revealed that it can have effects like exercise “The new research suggests repetitive laughter can affect hormones in the same way that exercise does…14 volunteers had their blood pressures and blood samples taken before and after watching two videos — one was the violent 20 minutes of the movie “Saving Private Ryan” and the other was a 20-minute clip from comedies or stand-up routines. After watching the funny videos, the volunteers had changes in their hormones that regulate appetite. Like the mechanisms seen after exercise, the appetite-repressing hormone leptin decreased. Ghrelin, which makes people hungry, increased.” the people that watched the depressing videos showed now change.
it doesn’t mean that you can skip the workout to get your funny on, it does mean, though that it can have the same hormonal outcome as exercise. so get out there, watch some youtube videos, take a look at an episode of modern family (everyone says it is the best. show. ever) or go and read some bad protest signs or listen to some people trying to sound really smart.
i recommend that you stay away from jay leno, or this guy, or that guy though.
sincerely,
180.
