A hearty laugh and a loud giggling not only make you happy, but also wonderfully healthy. We reveal the most important Haha! Facts.
It starts with a tickle, the corners of the mouth pull up and a deep, intimate laugh comes from the stomach! Oh, it's so wonderful to giggle, giggle or roar with laughter and writhing.
But above all, laughter is wonderfully healthy - and we'll tell you why:
1
When laughing, around 300 muscles are tensed from head to stomach, 17 of them in the face alone. This makes it the ultimate in face fitness!
2
When you laugh, your lungs absorb a lot of air, and oxygen gets into the red blood cells. The heart beats faster and pumps oxygen-rich blood around the body. The organism is activated and the metabolism stimulated.
3
Laughter is a wonderful cardiovascular workout. 20 seconds of hearty laughter is roughly equivalent to three minutes of brisk rowing.
4
Laughter promotes the formation of antibodies that the body urgently needs to protect against bacteria and viruses.
5
Happiness hormones are produced in the limbic system while laughing. This not only makes you happy, but also relieves tension, stress and even pain.
6
The gas exchange when laughing increases threefold, the diaphragm tenses, the lungs expand - when laughing, the breath shoots out of the lungs at 100 km / h.
7
A laughing woman reaches a pitch of 1,000 hertz. The sound of male laughter has at least 280 vibrations per second, the female even 500!
By the way: Researchers have found that a "real" laugh begins at the latest half a second after the stimulus to laugh. The laughing person closes his eyes and then initially does not look at the person opposite. Another indication are the laugh lines - without them, laughter is probably played.
