It comes as no surprise that Loretta LaRoche laughs a lot. She laughs on her PBS specials.
Laughter is the ticket.
She used to talk to parenting classes at Jordan Hospital. She once wrote a health column for the Old Colony Memorial . While many health professionals consult on stress management, and comedians by the barrel make fun of the foibles of contemporary behavior, LaRoche combines the scientifically derived insight that humor is good for your health, with her own eye for the way ordinary people tie themselves up into psychic knots of their own devising. There's more biochemistry to her work than pop psychology. Laughter truly is, by empirical evidence, good for your health.
