Laughing does wonders to reduce tensions...
Street kids in Thailand get to have a rare but important good old fashioned laugh
You wouldn't be surprised if we told you that laughter relieves stress.
But what if we told you that just anticipating laughter does the trick too? Researchers have found that the anticipation of a positive humorous laughter experience reduces potentially detrimental stress hormones.
Lee Berk, DrPH, and his team at Loma Linda University found that the anticipation of “mirthful laughter” positively affected two hormones: beta-endorphins, which alleviate depression, and human growth hormone, which helps with immunity. The results were significant, increasing the hormone levels from 27 to 87 percent.
In the latest research, the good news continues: The same anticipation of laughter significantly reduced the levels of three stress hormones — cortisol (“the stress hormone”), epinephrine (also known as adrenaline) and dopac (which helps produce epinephrine). Based on the findings, it’s clear that a great way to reduce stress is to seek out experiences that might make you laugh, even if you don’t actually giggle.

Scientific proof that feeling happy is the best medicine!
Poor refugees can still have a good old fashioned laugh!
Neuropsychologists write...
Renowned physicians have scientifically documented that smiling, literally using our facial muscles to put on a happy face, triggers specific brain neurotransmitters to shift the balance of the brain’s feel-good chemicals to overcome unhappiness. "And, that’s just with smiling". Imagine what’s happening when people are rolling around laughing and saying "I feel great!" They’ve just hit a whole other level of fantastic well-being!
Fact...
When you’re happy you are alive and buzzing with “happiness juices,” they are the very real chemicals in your body and brain that are the foundation of positive experiences. That’s what energizes and compels people to see a more positive side of life when they are surrounded by so many negative energies.
Getting energized is quite literally, addictive...
There are no drugs more powerful than the natural happiness enhancing ones that are available in your brain right now.

There are no drugs more powerful than the natural happiness enhancing ones that are available in your brain right now.
We all have:
- Endorphins, the brain’s painkiller that is 3 times stronger than morphine. many poor people may need that to kick out all the negative thoughts and sometimes nightmarish predictions in their heads. Essential for people living in difficult circumstances, wouldn’t you say?
- Serotonin, which naturally calms anxiety. It’s also very beneficial for people who are constantly struggling to survive, don’t you think?
- Oxytocin, a bonding chemical which is often called the “happy hormone.” It’s elevated when people are really connected, totally present. What human being doesn’t value that?
- Dopamine, which promotes alertness and a feeling of enjoyment, and also propels us to continually learn and grow. Always present with the people that receive the Gift of Happiness from us.
