Could Laughter Be the Best Medicine for Your Relationships? 5 Reasons We Say Yes

Have you ever come home from a stressful day at work and everything seems to set you off? But suddenly your spouse does something to make you laugh. Then something magical happens; you feel better. But why? Blame science!

Over the years, scientists have investigated laughter as an alternative form of medicine. Research finds that when a person laughs, the body releases mood-boosting chemicals, which influence the happiness and pleasure centers of our brains. Laughter has also been associated as an immune booster, pain reliever, anxiety reliever, blood pressure reducer and more.

So how does this benefit your relationship?

1. Well, the most obvious reason is laughter puts you in a more positive space.
2. HAPPINESS IS CONTAGIOUS. When you’re happy,  people are naturally drawn to those emotions.
3. If you’re a single female, laughter is more likely to ATTRACT A MALE..
4. If you’re married, you’re more likely to keep happiness in your marriage,
5. PLUS, COUPLES WHO LAUGH TOGETHER WERE MORE LIKELY TO STAY MARRIED.

Check out this video of the ladies in my office being silly.  At first, I was laughing because they look so silly with the filter. But what’s so funny is that now everyone that watches the video is not only laughing at them, but they are cracking up because of my laughter on the video!  It’s just contagious.

So whether you’re single or married, we encourage you to laugh more. Giggle more on dates, chuckle more together while watching your favorite TV comedies or do whatever it takes to make your spouse chortle. Do it for your relationship, but also do it for your health.

This is why we are loving the SunChips® Waves of Laughter campaign. Being different and unique is SunChips’ thing, and they like it that way. SunChips® knows nothing sets you apart from the crowd like your laughter—it is the most recognizable distinction of your most authentic self.

And, this is why SunChips® unveiled a first-of-its-kind technology – the “Laughalizer” – found at LAUGHWITHSUNCHIPS.COM. This digital tool uses laughter to assess each user’s unique personality and to create a personal “laugh-print” and laugh profile that can be shared across social media. Check out my “laugh-print below”

As a matter of fact, when you share your laugh-print, SunChips will donate $1 to Step Up, with the goal of generating 100,000 waves of laughter to create waves of change, one laugh at a time! So, please go LAUGHWITHSUNCHIPS.COM and take the quiz to get your personal “laugh-print” and laugh profile.  Don’t forget to share your results across social media to help SunChips® and Step Up encourage women and girls of all ages to harness the power of laughter and share their unique voice with others.
