What can laughter do?:
1: Lower blood pressure
2: Increase vascular blood flow and oxygenation of the blood
3: Give a workout to the diaphragm and abdominal, respiratory, facial, leg, and back muscles
4: Reduce certain stress hormones such as cortisol and adrenaline
5: Increase the response of tumor- and disease-killing cells such as Gamma-interferon and T-cells
6: Defend against respiratory infections–even reducing the frequency of colds–by immunoglobulon in saliva.
7: Increase memory and learning; in a study at Johns Hopkins University Medical School, humor during instruction led to increased test scores
8: Improve alertness, creativity, and memory
