The Medicine of a Merry Heart

The Bible says in Proverbs 17:22 “A merry heart doeth good like a medicine.” “There is evidence that laughter or a merry heart stimulates the release of endorphins, the body’s natural painkiller,” says Dr. Max Beerbohn. A recent report in the Medical Post details the work done by a therapeutic clown. Langdon the clown wearing a curly bright blue wig and a matching blue mustache greatly amazes the doctors in his efforts to relieve stress in children. Laughter provides a vigorous workout for abdominal and chest muscles. Laughter can also be used to gain control over pain. Let us all start enjoying life a little more with a little laughter.
