Laugh More, Live Longer
November 2, 2016
Play is the foundation of learning, creativity, self-expression, and constructive problem-solving. It’s how children wrestle with life to make it meaningful.
-Susan Linn, American psychiatrist

A study published in the April 2016 issue of Psychosomatic Medicine, "A 15-Year Follow-Up Study of Sense of Humor and Causes of Mortality," revealed "women with a strong sense of humor were found to live longer in spite of illness, especially cardiovascular disease and infection. Mirthful men seem to be protected against infection."
"Norwegian researchers reported findings from a 15-year study on the link between sense of humor and mortality among 53,556 women and men in their country.... The findings show that for women, high scores on humor’s cognitive component were associated with 48 percent less risk of death from all causes, a 73 percent lower risk of death from heart disease, and an 83 percent lower risk of death from infection. In men, a link was only for the risk of infection — those with high humor scores had a 74 percent reduced risk."
