Laughter Leads to Weight-loss?

We have all heard the old saying that “laughter is the best medicine” but what a cool thought to think that if we laughed more often, not only would we feel better but lose weight, too.

This morning I learned about a group called the Association for Applied Therapeutic Humor whose mission is dedicated to: “Advancing the understanding and application of humor and laughter for their positive benefits.”

A daily laughter workout of 15 minutes burns 40 calories and if you do the math – that’s 4 pounds in one year! How cool is that?

During this crazy, busy holiday season, won’t you join me in making an effort each day to laugh more? Lets literally “lighten up!” Give it a try. After all, what have you got to lose? Four pounds, that’s all!
