draft to happiness and health

Happiness is of the key factors to a healthy lifestyle. Happiness is great for the human body. Like Kataria once said, "Faster and better physical healing through laughter remains an unrealized, tantalizing, but still reasonable prospect." (86). It's really weird how happiness comes from laughter. It’s not a proven fact but there is a good enough case and support around this theory. Some people say that the more you smile ads on the years you live. Laughter is a good way to get your mind of stress or the feeling of being miserable. Listening to comedians tell their jokes is the best medicine people need because laughing makes you feel good inside and increase your self esteem. People feel amazing after they had a good laugh. Laughter is a great way to relieve tension and sadness. People feel good after they laugh to themselves for no reason at all.
                If you laugh on a daily basis and you are suffering from an illness, it would do your body good in a way. Kataria claimed, “Patients with multiple sclerosis who laughed regularly,” “had a lot of improvement,” “Asthma patients-- they have benefits.” (84). that’s why cancer patients or serially ill patients try to embrace life. People visit the patients in the hospital and try to make them laugh. They can feel good about themselves, even though they are going through a whole a lot of pain and suffering. Laughter has a big affect on people who are serially surviving. If you ever watch the movie Funny People, Adam Sander plays a comedian who is diagnose with some type of cancer. So Adam character try to do as much shows to make himself feel better than after a while he was cure from the cancer. This is a great example that laughter even from a funny person can cure everything in a way. 
              People who are happy see the world as a safe place, confident is at its highest, decisions are not difficult to make at all, more tolerant and cooperative to people, and live healthier and more energized lives. Like Kataria told his trainee's that laughter yoga "is based upon the scientific fact that, even if you laugh for the sake of laughing, even if you are pretending laughing, your body cannot tell the difference." (80). Psychology says that the causes and consequences of happiness is a good mood increases people's perceptions of the world and the willingness to help others. The moods triggered by the day's good or bad events. Psychology says stress takes energy from the immune system, inhibiting the activities of the certain cells in your body. Stress does not cause disease, it may affect their progression. The best way to cope with stress is to have a sense of control and building a foundation of social support and to laugh a little more you know. People tend to cope more successfully with stress and enjoy better health. So laughing yoga is good for in psychological point of view.
Kataria states that “laughter, would not only improve ones mood, but enhance physical well-being”. (77).
