Laugh Repels Diabetes


We all know that laugh is the best medicine for the people. Nowadays, laugh has been proven as having the great effect in preventing the diabetic complication, especially the cardiovascular disease such as heart attack. It has been proven from the research conducted in the Loma Linda University, California. The head of the research, Lee Berk, stated that our laugh can help to increase the good cholesterol level (HDL) and also reduce the risk of the disease to occur such as diabetes and heart attack.

The researchers divided the 20 diabetic patients that have the high blood pressure and cholesterol level into two groups (L and C). The L group were conducted the laugh therapy by watching the comedy films for 30 minutes everyday. The C group got no laugh therapy whatsoever. During the research, both of the groups were given the standard medication for diabetic and they are observed for one year. 

In about two months of medication process, all of the patients in L group had lower epinephrine and nor-epinephrine hormones level that can make the stress than the C group. After 12 months, the good cholesterol level (HDL) of the L group increased up to 26%, while the C group only increased for 3%. The L group also has the reduction in the C-reactive protein (CRP) for 66%, while the C group only got the reduction for 26%. CRP is the mark of the blood vessels inflammation that can cause terrible disease such as heart attack. 

So, if you are type of person that easily become sad and distressed, you need to change such attitude. All the happy people can be considered as the healthy persons. Therefore, laugh is really the greatest and the cheapest effort for the people to maintain the health. Be happy everyone :)
