IT’S OFFICIAL! Laughter really is the best medicine!

There is (bone-ah-fide) research that laughter can help your overall health and keep you feeling great!

HERE’S HOW:

1. Laughter drops your blood pressure to a healthy level.

2. Laughter increases the flow of oxygen to your blood, which in turn increases your energy level.

3. It takes a ton of water to make a pound of refined sugar. (Oops! How did this get into the list? Oh well…)

4. Laughter relaxes your muscles and reduces muscle tension.

5. Laughter gives your cardiovascular and respiratory systems an awesome workout with an increase in the antibody IgA, which fights upper respiratory tract infections.

6. Laughter serves to boost your immune system by increasing the activity of the body's natural killer cells, the T-cells.

7. 54% of Americans prefer to fold their toilet paper rather than wad it. (Hmmm! I’m pretty certain this is not an actual health fact!)

8. Laughter reduces at least four of the hormones associated with stress.

9. Laughter can reduce pain and aid in the healing process.

10. Laughter is free and has no known negative side effects.

WOW! That’s the kind of news I like!

Balloon Facts!

·Balloons were invented in 1824 in New England during the Great Depression.

·Latex balloons come from rubber trees. The latex is collected in buckets, as it drips from cuts in the bark, much like collecting maple syrup.

·Latex is a 100-percent natural substance that breaks down both in sunlight and water.

·If the sound of a balloon popping startles you, you’re not alone. A bursting balloon actually breaks the sound barrier, creating a sonic boom. Wow!

For more information about balloons visit the Balloon Council.

Too Funny!

What EXACTLY is a Clown?

According to the Encyclopedia Britannica.com a clown is "a familiar comic character of pantomime and circus, known by his distinctive makeup and costume, ludicrous antics, and buffoonery, whose purpose is to induce hearty laughter". The clown, unlike the traditional fool or court jester, usually performs a set routine characterized by broad, graphic humour, absurd situations, and vigorous physical action.

Now, all that being said....Clowns are just cool to hang out with! Right? Right!!!

Till next time.

Hugs & Giggles,
