Benefits of Laughter Stimutates a Healthy Heart

The University of Maryland School of Medicine conducted more than one research study lead by Dr. Michael Miller on the merits of laughter for stimulating healthy heart function. In one study the group of researchers examined the body’s endothelium, or the lining of blood vessels. They documented how laughter caused the endothelium to generate an increase in blood flow which helps to stimulate improved heart health. Another of Dr. Miller’s studies also concluded laughter could help prevent heart disease. In fact, they found people who had heart disease had more serious temperaments and were less likely to laugh compared to those of same age who were free from heart disease.

Punicalagins are found in pomegranates and are a tannic acid. Tannic acid is found in tea where everyone expects it to be, however, it is also found in many other foods and is good for many things.
