Hey friends, I know you must be wondering, why am I laughing so much?
Well, even I'm trying to figure that out.
Yes, in today's episode, let us explore what tickles our funny bone..
..and why tickles tickle tickle tickle tickle tickle tickle tickle tickle tickle tickle tickle tickle.
Try to find the answer to a hilarious question.
Why do we laugh?
Zoom in!
We all love to have a good laugh.
And that's one of the things we all share in common around the world.
We giggle, chuckle or burst into laughter when someone tells a joke.
Or when we feel ticklish and even at a well-timed fart.
But the vital question is, why?
Why and why?
Well, although it's not clear why laughter exists..
..but experts believe that it has evolved for strengthening our social bonds..
..since the early days of humanity.
Yes, our ancestors have been laughing even before the invention of words.
Whenever they witnessed something surprisingly hilarious..
..and used it as a way of communication to let others know that everything is alright..
..the climate looks good, there are no wild animals around..
..and the food seems perfectly cooked.
In short, it's time for happy hours!
Another strange reason we laugh is to feel relieved and relaxed.
Yes, laughter helps us to cope with stressful situations effectively..
..by releasing special feel-good chemicals called endorphins..
..which also relieve pain.
Not only that, but laughing is also a form of exercise.
Yes, the act of laughing involves multiple body parts that make you breathe deeply..
..use your muscles, boost your immune system and get your heart and lungs function better..
..which can calm you down, ease pain when you're hurt..
..and put you in a good mood if you're feeling anxious or fearful.
So, why do we laugh?
Because it promotes bonding, diffuses potential conflict and eases stress and anxiety.
Everything seems so sunshiny and rainbowy..
..but wait, there is a dark side to it as well.
Yes, continuous laughter can be a sign that there is something seriously wrong with your brain.
One such condition is called Pseudo Bulbar Effect Syndrome..
..which is characterized by frequent, involuntary and uncontrollable outbursts of laughing and crying.
Also, a study shows that an increasingly twisted sense of humor and laughing at inappropriate times..
..could be an early indication of Dementia.
So, as long there is no underlying illness, laughter is indeed the best medicine.
So, keep laughing as we feature our next section called Trivia Time.
Did you know, we laugh up to 30 times more when we are in the company of others..
..than when we are by ourselves?
Yes, my friends, just like yawning, laughter is contagious as well.
And that is one reason television shows often play a laugh track after a funny moment.
Also, a study found that kids tend to laugh about 3 times more than adults.
So, tell your parents to always think like you guys, like kids.
And tell them to enjoy themselves.
