Want to be free from pain? Laugh with your peers. Sincere and spontaneous laughter produces similar chemicals that will flood the brain opium so as to reduce the pain, according to research in the UK.
In that study, some respondents were asked to watch two television shows are contradictory, ie events of humor ranging from bean to Mr. miniseries Friends. The others watched the show 'serious' golf range and course of life in the wild.
Other tests performed on other respondents in the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, where they watch a comedy show directly or theatrical drama.
At the same time, they measured the level of resistance to pain.
Only in 15 minutes, those who laugh are able to tolerate pain for up to 10 percent than those who did not laugh. "They are laughing about three times or more indicates a high tolerance to pain," said Robin Dunbar, head of the Institute of Social and Cultural Anthropology at the University of Oxford who led the research.
Protection of the pain is coming from the endorphins, a complex chemical compound that helps transmit messages between neurons, which dull the pain signals are physically and psychological. Endorphins are produced when the laughter can also be produced during physical exercise such as running, swimming, and yoga.
