Laugh out loud

By Kashi Read more daily challenge, health advice, healthy living, heart health, and playtime
Challenge Yourself for: 24 Hours

According to a study published in 2001, people with a good sense of humor had less coronary heart disease than those who were more serious. Reducing your stress load and laughing more not only gives you a more lighthearted outlook on life, it also gives you a more heart-healthy approach to life. For two minutes today, even though you might not feel like it, practice laughing. Start by just going through the motions. By the time you're half-way through, you might even feel silly enough to genuinely laugh at yourself!

    I am for the most part positive & happy all the time smiling, laughing and a big hugger. Hence my nickname “Sunshine” given to me by a school mate of mine too many years back to remember…saying that every time I walk into a room I bring a ray of sunshine in with me.

    Played Scatagories with a few friends. The game itself can be fun & full of laughter as it’s always interesting (or sometimes comical) what answers people can come up with.

    This was an easy challenge for me – my husband has such a hearty laugh. He was watching a movie in the next room, and his laughter was infectious!

    I love to laugh! I have 3 dogs and 2 cats, so my house is like living in Wild Kingdom. Someone is always doing something hilarious (or disturbingly funny). :)

    this truly works! it’s almost remarkable. laughing (out loud) everyday makes you feel better about yourself, and about others around you. it gives you a more positive outlook on life, and that’s wonderful!

    Me, too! I’m going to play bingo tonight in our community clubhouse. I really don’t go for the bingo, but to have fun with several girlfriends and misbehave! Our goal is to get kicked out!
