More laughs....

It is said that young children laugh as much as 100 to 200 times a day, compared to a large majority of adults who only get zero to several daily laughs. Yet laughter is good not only for the body but also for the soul and Spirit.

 “Go on and laugh!

Whether your preference is giggle, chuckle or guffaw, here are a dozen well-being benefits of laughter:
