Research shows that laughing is a cure for the heart

 

A study conducted in Brazil has found that laughing helps in the treatment of heart disease by 10 percent.

The research conducted by Clinicas de Porto Alegre Hospital led by cardiologist, Professor Marco Saffi found that laughter therapy can help reduce inflammation in the arteries of the heart and reduce the risk of heart attack and stroke.

Scientists in Brazil conducted an experiment to investigate whether 'laughter therapy' could improve cardiovascular symptoms.

The research called 'Laughter Therapy' has revealed that laughing can help the heart because it releases 'endorphins', which reduce inflammation and help the heart and blood vessels to work properly.

It also reduces the levels of sex hormones, which contribute to swelling in the heart. The hospital conducted a study on 26 64-year-olds with heart problems who, after being given a comedy program every week, found relief and the swelling in their hearts decreased.
