Insights:
The laughter amplifies the production of serotonin by reducing the production of stress hormones such as cortisol which causes the increase in blood pressure and glucose levels in blood vessel damage. The laughter, stimulating the production of beta-endorphins, protects from stress carrying out a real function of antidote. Physically laughter increases the production hormones, such as adrenaline and dopamine, which have the task of liberating our natural morphine: endorphins, enkephalins, and others.
