Laughter Development
Or perhaps it should be ‘Laughter Re-development’, because children laugh up to 400 times a day, but the average adult only laughs 15 times a day.
Scientific research has shown laughter:
- Reduces negative and harmful stress hormones
- Produces natural ‘happy’ body chemicals making you feel more positive
- Boosts your immune system by up to 40%, meaning you get less illness and when you do get sick or injured you recover more quickly
- Promotes greater blood flow through your body, especially to the brain, so you think more clearly, feeling invigorated and less tired.
Other studies have also discovered:
- Including regular laughter in IVF programmes increases the chance of a successful pregnancy from 20% to 35%
- Laughing encourages the digestion of food and helps you lose weight (15 minutes of laughing burns 50 calories)
Laughter workshops have been used by many companies around the world to reduce stress and build teams, while most people put ‘a sense of humour’ high on the list of desirable characteristics for partners or friends.
Remind Solutions offers Laughter Development for individuals, groups and businesses across the UK. The workshops and courses are of benefit to all ages and abilities, and can be tailored to individual requirements.
