Healthier to Laugh

Results from medical research confirms that there is a close link between physical and mental health. Saying “A good laugh prolongs life” turns out to entail accuracy.
Stress and anger
Man has long known that people who are often angry and stress are frequently affected by diseases of the heart and blood vessels than calm people. This is partly because the stress hormone epinephrine increases blood pressure and the risk that blood will clump to allow a blood clot. Occurs plug in one of the arteries that supply the heart with nutrients, the cells in a part of the heart die. This is called a myocardial infarction. Occurs the same in the brain you get a stroke.
Morphine Related Substances
Researchers recently studied what happens when we laugh. They discovered that the glands in the brain (hypothalamus and pituitary gland) secretes the morphine-like substance beta-endorphins. It then transported with the blood around the body and adheres in part to the cells that dress the inside of blood vessels. Scientists believe this get these cells to produce the gas nitric oxide (NO). It is known from earlier that nitric oxide expands blood vessels and inhibits the formation of blood clots. This reduces the likelihood that you get a heart attack or stroke.
Nitroglycerin is a frequently used medication for chest pain caused by narrow blood vessels in the heart. Medicine is in the body converted into nitric oxide. Researchers believe that is a good laugh seems a little like nitroglycerin.
