RealAge Tip of the DAY for February 14, 2003
A Healthy Laugh
Slip some humor-packed pastimes into your weekend. It just might help you and your loved one live longer.

Research has credited laughter with not only the power to reduce stress levels, but also the ability to relieve pain, improve immunity, and reduce blood pressure. So whether you watch a funny movie, attend a comedy show, or just share good times with someone you love this weekend, be sure to set aside some time for age-reducing belly laughs.

Laughter can nip tension in the bud in your relationships by helping to open the lines of communication and putting people at ease. Laughter reduces stress, eases anxiety, and makes your immune system younger. One study even revealed a reduced risk of heart disease in people who were quick to laugh.
RealAge Benefit: Laughing often can make your RealAge up to 8 years younger.
