Laughter is a wonderful way of dealing with the stress and pressure we have in our lives. It has been established for a long time that humour is beneficial for good health - psychologically and physically. Scientists have known for some time that humour and laughing actually help to produce endorphins within the body. Endorphins are a part of the body s natural pain killing mechanism and help to make people feel better. Thus, a little more laughter within our lives is exactly what the doctor orders.
Some people can only get laughter out of drinking or drugs.
This is not healthy humour. The best humour and laughter comes alcohol and drug free. But some people seem to be able to laugh and enjoy life a whole lot more so than others. Skew Up Your Perspective. We tend not to laugh at things because we are too intensely involved in our own process to find the humour.
