Recently I read an article on http://www.realage.com/ that discussed how our blood vessels really benefit from a good laugh. Laughing causes us to relax and that increases blood flow, helping the heart. One study measured blood flow among a group watching a funny movie versus a group watching an action film. The action film brought on stress, resulting in the constriction of blood vessels and producing a strain on the heart, while the funny film - that's right, lots of relaxation going on and more blood flow.
So, in the interest of insuring that my family, friends and all readers of the blog have at least one good laugh today and superbly, flexible blood vessels, please watch this! I guarantee a chuckle,maybe a chortle, and perhaps a guffaw. Indeed a little snorting and howling would be good, too. Enjoy!
