1. Laughter makes you happy
Literally. Because as soon as you smile, your body produces endorphins (or rather: the happiness hormone). This makes you happy, calm and gives you a euphoric feeling. Fun fact: your body can’t tell whether you’re smiling ‘real’ or ‘fake’ – the effects remain the same.
2. You put your muscles to work
Okay, other than working with dumbbells of course, but you still burn about 50 calories per 15 minutes of laughing. From your stomach to your facial muscles: everything is contracted.

3. You are less likely to develop cardiovascular disease
Laughing makes your heart beat faster and your blood vessels dilate. The consequence? Your blood circulates better, more oxygen enters your blood and this can reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease.
4. It stimulates your immune system
Laughter is the best medicine, it is often said. Unfortunately, it’s not that simple, but it is true that stress hormones suppress your immune system, making you more susceptible to diseases and infections. By laughing (and therefore experiencing less stress) your immune system gets a boost.
