Laughter Is the Best Medicine
笑是最好的良藥
Most laughter doesn’t come from jokes or comedy; in fact, we often find things funny when we’re spending time with the people we care about. Moreover, laughter can release tension and lower stress levels. Humans need to socialize in their lives, and when we have positive experiences with people, there are benefits for the entire body. Laughter provides relief from the challenges of life, and that relief improves the function of the immune system and the heart.
大多數的笑聲不是來自笑話或喜劇；事實上，當我們與我們在乎的人共度時光時，我們經常會覺得事情很有趣。此外，笑可以宣洩緊張情緒並降低壓力水平。人類在生活中需要社交，當我們與人有正向的交流時，對整個身體都有好處。笑可以讓人從生活中的挑戰放鬆，而這種緩解可以改善免疫系統和心臟的功能。
