According to the Spanish Heart Foundation ( FEC), laughter and good attitude towards life not only improve our mind, but other benefits of laughter is to prevent cardiovascular diseases.

Laughter is an involuntary act for most people because its functioning resides in breathing, and is produced by interruptions of the exhalation of breath.

This process, say specialists in the FEC, activates the respiratory, neurological and cardiovascular systems.
Therefore, laughter serves as a vasodilator in our cardiovascular system, generates hormonal substances, such as endorphins, which produce a state of psychological well-being, in such a way that it helps protect our heart.

When we laugh, the endothelium (the inner layer of the blood vessels) relaxes, which improves blood circulation and lowers blood pressure.

Dr. José Luis Palma Gámiz, vice president of the FEC, states that "permanent stress conditions the presence of vasoconstrictor hormones that affect the endothelium and facilitate that the substances that carry blood, such as cholesterol, penetrate the inner wall of blood vessels, leading to various cardiovascular diseases. "

Increase your good cholesterol

Laughter helps increase HDL (good cholesterol) and enhances the activity of lymphocytes, agents that help the immune system in the presence of tumor cells.

Laughter also reduces the level of hormones associated with stress and increases the level of nitric oxide, a substance that improves circulation, reduces inflammation of blood vessels and prevents the formation of cholesterol plaques.
Therefore, try to be happy most of the day and share with your loved ones moments that fill them with satisfaction, but above all to improve their health. And you, how many times a day do you laugh?
