Social, Family & Festive Occasions

Got a wedding, festival, Xmas function, community fun or large social event coming up?  Laughter sessions aren’t just for the office.  Who doesn’t like a good laugh:

  • Builds trust and helps them engage with each other.
  • Creates positive affect – that’s a fancy term for “makes people feel good”.
  • Stimulates the mind and gets the creative juices flowing.
  • Relieves stress and helps you cope with daily pressures.
  • Produces endorphins, which reduce pain and induce pleasure.
  • Reduces blood pressure.
  • Strengthens the immune system and heals the body.
  • Oxygenates the blood and gives your respiratory system a tremendous workout.
  • Weight loss. It’s true! 10 minutes of laughter burns about 45 calories.

 In this age of high-technology, scientific miracles and medical breakthroughs, it might just be that something as simple as laughter is the best medicine, after all. For a long time, medical doctors have known that happy patients generally respond more favourable to treatment and recover faster than cheerless and complaining ones.
