Knock, knock. Who's there?

You are, and you are laughing your way to a healthy life!



Have you had one of those moments lately, when you are doubled over from laughter and you can barely breathe?  Those are some of my favorite moments and while those happy memories are being created, you can get healthy at the same time.  A study by Vanderbilt University states that 10-15 minutes of sustained giggling can burn up to 50 calories! Laughter gets you through those stressful moments and busy work days, but it can also speed up your metabolism while using more energy. 

So perhaps laughter really is the best medicine! Grab a friend, a joke book, an old episode of Seinfeld and get to giggling :)
