The new study by scientists has revealed that the human body gets four times more oxygen through laughter than through ordinary breathing and that laughter helps to push out the stale air that gets compressed in the lungs. Laughter also decreases cortisol, the stress hormone causing heart attacks, and secretes endorphins, the hormones of happiness.Laughing also burns more calories per hour than running. It’s like putting on rosy glasses to see the world. Some corporate offices and universities have even applied laughing yoga as a motivational technique uniting staff and establishing a warm atmosphere.
