Did you know that laughter offers health benefits? We’re not kidding.

Good-for-you giggles
Research shows that laughter may:

  • Strengthen your immune system
  • Lower your blood pressure
  • Decrease inflammation
  • Enhance your memory

Embracing humor in tough times
We know that belly laughs may not be at the top of your priority list right now. But that may be even more reason to seek out humor.

Studies show that humor and laughter can:

  • Reduce stress
  • Improve your resilience
  • Boost your mood
  • Help you cope with difficult situations
