Laughter

Here are  few stats:

--Children laugh ten times more per day than adults. [Harvard Medical Study]

--Children laugh an average of 200 times a day, adults only 15 times a day. [I assume each "ha" must count as "a laugh" ????]

--Laughing for 10 minutes aday has been shown to reduce high blood pressure and arthritic pain.

--The deeper the belly laugh the greater the benefit.

--We are 30 times more likely to laugh in pairs or groups than if we are alone.

--In a related study pessimist were found to be twice as likely to develop heart problems as optimists.
