Benefits of laughter yoga

When you laugh most of your major blood vessels dilate and it allows for easier blood flow. Whereas anger and stress can restrict the blood flow in your blood vessels. A hearty laugh of 20 minutes can even be as good as an aerobic exercise of 60 minutes.

Laughter yoga is a healthy cardiovascular workout. Even people who have recovered from a heart attack are less likely to face another cardiovascular illness if they laugh regularly rather than face anger or stress. Here are some more benefits of laughter yoga apart from heart health:

• It creates endorphins to boost reduce your stress hormones and improve mental health.
• It improves the body’s immune system by increasing antibodies. This can help you fight bacteria and viruses.
• It improves your lung capacity and can even help people suffering from asthma and bronchitis.
