Boosting Your Natural HGH Levels Through Laughter

Published:February 18th, 2011

Human growth hormone is essential for our optimal health. Lower HGH levels have as a consequence premature aging, loss of lean body mass, lower energy levels and other symptoms related to aging. Allowing your body to create HGH on its own by using HGH Releasers is however, a better solution to injections. Nutritional supplements that serve as precursors to HGH synthesis are a good start to improve the levels of HGH in your body.

High intensity strength training is an important way to increase the levels of growth hormone in our bodies. Adequate sleep is also very important. The same is true for stress. Lack of stress is essential for proper balance of human growth hormone, due to the interaction of stress hormones such as adrenaline. Meditation, laughter and cardiovascular exercise can reduce stress levels.

Research has shown that laughter has plenty of health benefits, as it can relieve pain, bring happiness and even increase your immunity. Laughter can reduce the levels of stress hormones such as cortisol, epinephrine and dopamine, while at the same time increasing levels of endorphins and neurotransmitters. Laughter can also increase the number of antibody producing cells, enhancing the efficacy of T cells.

So laughter can not just lighten your mood, it can induce physical changes in your body, stimulating many organs, enhancing the intake of oxygen rich air. It can stimulate the heart, lungs and muscles, circulation or muscle relaxation. Researchers estimate that laughing 100 times is the equivalent of 15 minutes on an exercise bike.

So why not give your body a full workout simply by laughing. And if you think that you have an underdeveloped sense of humour, you should know that you can develop and refine it more easily than you might think. Laughter yoga is a type of exercise that uses breathing, movement, yoga postures and playful exercises to harness the healing power of laughter. Our bodies cannot distinguish between genuine and artificial laughter. By overcoming inhibitions, cultivating a sense of playfulness and trying to change simulated laughter into genuine laughter you can reap the full health benefits of this emotional medicine.
