Funny Baby Effects

Laughter releases endorphins, which give a feeling of well-being, clarity of mind, and reduces pain, stress, and tension.  Laughter causes pulse rate and blood pressure to lower. Breathing deepens and muscles contract and then relax.  These healthy reactions are occurring as you laugh at a funny baby.  Humor changes us. When we experience humor, we talk more, make more eye contact, and touch others. Laughing at babies is therapeutic, relieving depression, sadness and suicidal thoughts caused by child-rearing.
