The Science of Laughter: Why We LOL and Why It Matters

Laughter significantly benefits both physical and mental well-being. Physically, it boosts the immune system by increasing antibodies and activating T-cells, reduces pain through the release of endorphins, and lowers stress by decreasing cortisol levels. Mentally, laughter elevates mood by releasing dopamine, helps manage stress and anxiety by offering perspective, and improves social connection by fostering bonding and empathy. Additionally, laughing at oneself promotes self-acceptance and relatability. Humor arises from unexpected or unconventional twists that the brain enjoys because it releases dopamine. Laughter also has a unique social aspect that helps us connect with others and create deeper connections.
