Open - Hearted Laughter



I connect most easily with those who laugh freely.

I know why – it’s because they are the most open-hearted.   This is true, not only emotionally and metaphorically, but also literally.

Hearty laughter is excellent for the heart.  It lowers blood pressure; increases blood circulation; expands the lining of the arteries, taking stress off the heart; and strengthens the heart in a cardiovascular workout.  There have been numerous significant studies linking heart - healthy people with those who laugh easily.
