affects a variety of brain processes, including pain and the immune system.

She says :

1. "So watching comedies increases
2. the threshold for pain, that is
3. it reduces the severity of pain.

This is due to the production of certain neurotransmitters

(serotonin, endorphin, dopamine, oxytocin)

during laughter

which reduces the severity of pain, and creates a sense of well-being and joy.

Laughter also stimulates the growth of immune system

cells that produce antibodies, reducing exposure to infectious diseases. "

 reaction in the form of laughter, is in close contact with the fortification

the part of the brain in which memory forms.

So emotionally charged information is better remembered.

protecting them from stagnation. Laughter is especially important

for those who are 40 years old, at this age the immunity of

the body is enhanced and this is very important for cancer prevention. "

The researchers add that :

when laughing, the heartbeat decreases, the arteries expand
