Laughing is definitely an enjoyable way to lower high blood pressure. Compared to physical exercises that can make you tired or eating foods you don’t like, laughing your way to lower high blood pressure is definitely better.
But don’t get me wrong, you still need to get moving, eat healthy foods, or do other things that can help reduce or normalize blood pressure such as the 3-simple exercises in this site.
Laughing alone will not help if you keep on consuming high-cholesterol (as I learned that cholesterol is not evil) meals and sitting around watching TV all day.
But how can laughing help people with hypertension?
Believe it or not, laughter can help improve your blood vessels. Research at the University Of Maryland School Of Medicine has proven that laughter is linked to a healthy function of blood vessels because when you are laughing, endothelium or layer of cells lining the interior surface of blood vessels will expand so blood can flow better. Endothelium itself plays a role in the development of cardiovascular disease. Now, that makes sense, doesn’t it?
Therefore, you can listen to funny jokes or other ways that can make you laugh to lower high blood pressure. Enjoy this life and have fun :D
