👩🏽⚕🧑⚕Experienced clinicians know that humor is good medicine.
🩺Now researchers in Tennessee tell us it may also provide a bit of a workout.
🩺They found that genuine, voiced laughter boosts energy consumption and heart rate by 10% to 20%.
🩺That means a 10- to 15-minute belly laugh might burn anywhere from 10 to 40 calories.
🩺🤣It's a lot of laughing for a few calories, but optimists will be tickled by the result.
