Also, think back to the last time you had a real belly laugh. You probably remember feeling really good at that time. Our thoughts, feelings, and emotions have a large impact on our health and our physical well-being. The more content and happy we are, the more our body can resist or cope with any stress put upon it. Laughing also gives one of our body systems, the immune system, a boost.
