The Science Behind
Humor and Health Intervention
Laughter has been scientifically proven to reduce stress
levels by releasing the body's natural feel-good chemicals.
Laughter enhances your intake of oxygen-rich air,
stimulating your heart, lungs and muscles.
When we laugh, our body relaxes, and tension melts away.
By incorporating laughter into your daily routine, you can
effectively manage stress and promote a sense of calm.
​
Group laughter captures a sense of social connection. Laughing with others creates a bond of that
moment and fosters a sense of community.
The tools learned in this program build better health, communal skills and stress relief.

HOW YOUR BODY RESPONDS TO LAUGHTER
Endorphins: The body's natural painkillers and mood elevators, contributing to feelings of pleasure and euphoria.
Dopamine: A neurotransmitter delivering pleasure, motivation, and enhances cognitive function and memory.
Serotonin: Regulates mood, sleep, appetite, cognitive functions, alleviates feelings of depression and anxiety.
Oxytocin: Delivers feelings of empathy, connection, and strengthens social bonds when laughing with others.
Additionally, laughter is linked to the reduction of stress hormones like cortisol and epinephrine.
