Laughter also helps in reducing pain. It increases the level of endorphins (natural painkillers). Laughter build relationships and fight the loneliness as it brings people together. It also helps shy people in breaking the barrier and expressing their feelings, thoughts and ideas to others. It helps you in handing the unexpected situation with ease, to take up challenges and to come out of difficulty with smile.

Laughter increase the release of immunoglobulin A in saliva, which helps in preventing asthma, bronchitis and frequent head colds. It is very good for lung as it provides an aerobic workout for diaphragm and has a cleansing effect, by emptying the lung of more air than they take in.
