The Health Benefits of Humor and Laughter :

Laughter also triggers healthy physical changes in the body. Humor and laughter strengthen your immune system, boost your energy, diminish pain, and protect you from the damaging effects of stress. Best of all, this priceless medicine is fun, free, and easy to use :.........

Why Do We Laugh?

It feels good so why do we do it? Cognitive neuroscientist Scott Weems, author of Ha!: The Science of When We Laugh and Why, looked why we actually do and how it has served us well over the generations.

Weems says laughter and humor help us process conflict in our environment through the dopamine that is released in our brains when we find something funny. Dopamine is a neurotransmitter that is released in our brain that makes us feel good. It releases tension, increases motivation, memory and attention and helps us process pain management.

So, the more dopamine the better! Lifehacker, one of my favorite websites, has a great article on how to increase your dopamine levels easily and naturally :.........

How Can You Study Laughter? :

Through a series of survey and MRIs, scientists have attempted to do just just that. In order find out what makes a joke funny, a German researcher named Willibald Ruch asked subjects a series of questions about hundreds of jokes and cartoons.

Based on their answers, he grouped humor preferences into three types: “incongruity-resolution,” which involves “violating one’s expectations in novel ways;” “nonsense humor,” “which is funny only because it makes no sense;” and “sexual humor,” which is offensive or taboo.

Granted, not everyone finds the same type of humor funny, the commonality in these joke types is that they all involve dealing with surprise and resolving the ensuing cognitive dissonance.

That’s why a joke is funny the first time and usually not the second. You’re expecting it that second time around. :.........

1.) The Release of Dopamine :

“I’ve said enough above for you to know that dopmaine, and lots of it, is a good thing. I can’t emphasize when it comes to the physical changes that occur in your brain (both good and bad) and how they effect all that we do and think.

“Just like dopamine increases are good, there are some hormones that are bad and create stress: cortisol and epinephrine. Laughter actually decreases these and help calm your stress. These hormones also play a role in the immune system, too. They decrease it. So get rid of cortisol and epinephrine with laughter! :.........
