Many doctors are also interested in the effects of laughter on our health. According to a 5-year study at the UCLA School of Medicine in California, with laughing there is less stress in the body. Laughter improves our health against illness by about 40%.
Then, what happens at a Laughter Club? I went to my nearest club in South London to find it out. I was quite nervous at the beginning of the class. To be honest — I wasn’t interested in laughing with a group of strangers, and I was worried about looking stupid. Our laughter teacher told us to clap our hands and say “ho ho ho, ha ha ha,” while looking at each other. To my surprise, it works! After ten minutes everybody in the room was really laughing— and some people just couldn’t stop! At the end of the class I was surprised by how relaxed and comfortable I felt.
Our bodies can’t tell the difference between fake(假的)laughter and real laughter, so they have the same healthy effects. So if you’re under stress, then start laughing. You might be very pleased with the results!
