Laugh like you were 7

Immediately after you laugh, 15 muscles in your beautiful face contract and relax.

AND…the zygomatic major muscle, which lifts your upper lip, gets stimulated.

The general relaxation you feel throughout your body is due to the contraction of your intercostal muscles and diaphragm. (Yes, your intercostal muscles.)

And, as you’ve heard before, laughter releases endorphins, dopamine, and serotonin throughout your body. That distribution of neurochemicals is why your mood improves with laughter.

Pretty cool, huh? The body is amazing.

On this beautiful fall weekend, put laughing atop your priority list!

And if you need help, watch/listen to this insanely funny – and R-rated – meditation. It will definitely move your zygomatic muscle.
