We talk about stress all the time. But did you know by learning how to properly handle stress-- with laughter--you can add another year to your life?
Well according to Dr. Michael F. Roizen, M.D., the habit of using laughter as a way to combat stress can contribute to your longevity and overall health.
According to Dr. Roizen's research, a sense of humor has been linked with better health. Being able to stay positive and happy during stressful times helps manage stress and strengthens your immune system.
Another stress booster? Orgasms. According to Dr. Roizen, regular sex that includes orgasms is associated with better heart health. Its possible that when you climax during sex, your body releases endorphins that boosts the body's immune system.
Each of these pleasant activities--laughing and reaching orgasm can add about a year each to your life!
