We want to share with you stories that should give you a good chuckle. Because laughter matters.

Turns out, studies show that regular laughter is good for your health—both your physical and your mental health:

• Laughing puts your body at ease. When you laugh, your body relaxes its muscles and releases stress.
• Laughing makes you feel good. When you laugh, endorphins get released and deliver you the feel-good status you deserve.
• Laughing helps you fight diseases. When you laugh, your immune system is boosted as disease-fighting cells increase, improving your ability to fight infections and to ward off all types of diseases.
• Laughing can protect your heart and even help you lose weight. Sounds crazy? Not really! When you regularly laugh, you get better blood flow which can help protect your entire cardiovascular system. Plus, laughing burns calories—so when you regularly laugh, you could shed a few pounds over a year’s time.
• Laughing makes you happy. When you laugh with others, you can avoid stressful situations and conflict—and laughing can help free you from harboring grudges that just make you feel bad.
• Laughing might even help you live longer! One study found that those battling cancer lived longer and happier lives when ingested with regular doses of humor and laughter.

So, what are you waiting for? Here is a quick-and-easy way to get regular doses of humor and laughter—with the special GreenPrints Collection Gardening Humor: Funny stories to keep you smiling & laughing all day long!
