And now, this study is telling you that anticipating a laugh reduces your stress hormones.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This study was done in 2006 where researchers found that simply anticipating a laugh experience boosted health-protecting hormones and two years later, the same research team found out that anticipating a laugh can also reduce detrimental stress hormones. When you watch a funny video which made you feel like laughing, two hormones &#8211; beta-endorphins and human growth hormone increased by 27 to 87 percent respectively and another three stress hormones &#8211; cortisol, epinephrine and dopac were reduced.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So now, you know that laughing or watching a comedic video or movie is beneficial. It not only releases your stress but also makes you feel good. Now go watch something funny!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Link of research: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedaily.com\/releases\/2008\/04\/080407114617.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/www.sciencedaily.com\/releases\/2008\/04\/080407114617.htm<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you&#8217;re feeling stressed lately, well, there&#038;#8 [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":5183,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"tdm_status":"","tdm_grid_status":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[210],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-5182","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-night-show"],"amp_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/teafm.com.my\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5182","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/teafm.com.my\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/teafm.com.my\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/teafm.com.my\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/teafm.com.my\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=5182"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/teafm.com.my\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5182\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5185,"href":"https:\/\/teafm.com.my\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5182\/revisions\/5185"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/teafm.com.my\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/5183"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/teafm.com.my\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=5182"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/teafm.com.my\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=5182"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/teafm.com.my\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=5182"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
