Laughing for 15 minutes is also yoga to prevent colds

According to a recent report by Hong Kong's Ming Pao, 15 minutes of laughter can prevent stress-related diseases, especially the incidence of colds and gastrointestinal diseases.

Madan Katalya, the founder of Indian laughter yoga, said: "More and more research points out the benefits of laughing, but more and more research is also finding that we don't laugh enough!" He called for smiling for at least 15 minutes a day, even if it was a fake smile. This is because the body itself cannot distinguish between a real smile and a fake smile. Therefore, as long as you laugh, the body will produce natural stimulants, which greatly reduces stress and makes people feel refreshed, prevents colds, gastrointestinal diseases, or relieves muscle pain.

Katalia provides people with a simple method of practice: when you are with others, first use eye contact and child-like play, such as pointing at each other and laughing while walking, so that everyone gradually smiles. After you get used to the skills of laughing and breathing, one can laugh. But Katalia emphasized not to force the other person to laugh. (Editor in charge: Chen Shaopeng)
