Benefits Of An Online Humor Magazine

By Miranda Sweeney


Hobbies and interests are good for the soul, so too is laughter. Laughter, while a natural response is also a healing one. Regardless of schedules, when an individual can take fifteen to twenty minutes out of the day to read an online humor magazine, it can be very beneficial to the healing process.

Scientific research also shows how and why people laugh. First, laughter is a natural response like blood pumping through the veins or breathing. While not quite as important, it is something that can be useful in the healing process when it comes to illness and injury.

A new question related to healing through laughter has now emerged. One question being whether a laugh therapist is warranted to make people laugh. Other questions have also arisen in relation to the health insurance plans and whether office visits in which laughter is prescribed are covered.

Anatomy of Illness by Norman Cousins explores the benefits of laughter. Some claims in his book have since been proven. One being that laughter has the power and ability to relieve pain. The book is a good example of how laughter can help through coping, controlling and connecting with others through laughter.

Mr. Cousins found that when he watched the Marx Brothers, Candid Camera and other funny shows that it helped the pain of a debilitating spinal disease. He once claimed that only ten minutes of televised humor helped him sleep without pain for two hours or more at a time. When he would try to sleep without having read or watched humorous material and laughing, he could rarely sleep for more than a few minutes before the pain returned, if he could get to sleep at all.

While there are critics, others claim there is enough proof to back up the research. Some doctors now recommend getting fifteen minutes per day. When combining the laughter with a healthy diet and regular exercise, better health is often just around the corner.

Endorphins are a feel good hormone that comes from the body when extremely overexerted or relaxed. Laughter also helps the body in other ways. Endorphins alone can aid in relaxing, reducing stress and maintaining health sleep patterns. The association between these endorphins and laughter has been well studied and proved more than once in various research studies.

Humor is anything that is comedic and funny. Humorous content generally creates a laugh out loud response from the audience. Whether that is an audience of one or one hundred doesn't matter. All that matters is that the humor generates laughter which can then help heal the body, mind and soul of audience members and the audience as a whole.
