Dr. Leroy Berk who researches the benefits of laughter…..from California USA……..says…………………..

Laughter is like arobice exercise…….
20 seconds of aerobic laughter gives the body a work-out equivalent to 3 minutes. of hard rowing in terms of giving the heart a work-out”.

LAUGHTER is a bit like changing a babies nappy.

“It may not be permanent, but It sure makes things a whole lot better for a while”
