Laughing and Contributing to Good Causes

Donate to Haiti Rural Community Fund


Why do we need to think about the outlying, rural communities that were affected? They are the backbone of the country. They are beyond the crumbling walls of Port au Prince!

Why Do Parents Need to Laugh with Their Children: Stress Removal and Bonding Are Among the Reasons

We can all appreciate a few good laughs. After all, it feels good to laugh. We laugh to get our measures of good oxygen into our lungs.

The Multiple Advantages of Laughter:

Studies have shown that laughter, even fake laughter releases endorphins, increases the immune system, relaxes muscles throughout the body, decreases stress chemicals such as cortisol, helps people forget pain, and is equivalent to internal jogging. Many scientists agree that laughter is a great stress fighter. You probably did not know that you were equipped with this great weapon.

So whether you have a funny laugh or whether you are known as a dork, do not stop laughing. You are buying precious oxygen for your body.

Start laughing with signing "Happy Birthday" using only the sylllable "ha."
