Heal your Wound by Laughing

March 11, 2011 4:50 pmLeave a Comment

Everyone can laugh. But not everyone wants to laugh. So, laughing is the choice: be executed or not. But, if you’re sick, the right choice is to laugh. Laugh, then the healing you desire will come more quickly.

A study by the Leeds University, UK, has shown that patients who laughed heal faster than patients who did not laugh. The team of researchers even concluded that laughing is much more potent than sophisticated technology.

A total of 337 patients were examined in the study led by Professor Andrea Nelson. They are patients who do not heal from ulcers or wounds in the leg after six months or more. Over the past 5 years, the researchers compared the “use of low-dose ultrasound on wound at the foot of the patient” with “the effect of usual wound care plus laugh.” The conclusion: laugh accelerated the healing process and advanced technology (ultrasound low dose) did not accelerate the healing process.

How can the team of researchers arrive at this conclusion? According to Nelson, the team run the standard procedure, i.e. bandage the wound to stimulate blood flow from the legs back to the heart. Patients were also asked to make arrangements to eat and exercise.

In addition to these standard procedures, the researchers used sound waves (ultrasound). But this technology did not provide a meaningful contribution because there was no significant difference in healing between the patients with ultrasound and the patients without ultrasound.

The speed difference could be seen clearly in patients who laughed more often. They recovered faster than patients who did not or rarely laugh. According to Nelson, as reported by the BBC, this is because during laughing, the diaphragm moves so that the flow of blood throughout the body more smoothly. []

Working in the office has become a lifestyle nowadays. The office workers are proud to be employees who spend more time behind a desk or in front of the computer rather than doing physical activities such as laborers, construction laborers, or farmers.

After work, while on his way home, they sit, either on the bus, train, or in private cars. When arrived home, they prefer to watch television or play video games rather than doing physical activities such as gardening or cooking.

At first glance, this is a lifestyle that seems reasonable. They need entertainment to break away from the pressure that’s been through all day at work. But that’s the problem: their bodies could be overweight or obese due to lack of physical activity.

WHO note in this case is quite astonishing: 60-80 percent of the world’s adult population now is not physically active. That means that 60-80 percent of the world’s adult population is at risk of obesity.

Obesity has contributed 30 percent of world mortality. British Journal of Sports Medicine in 2010 released a study stating that people sitting or not physically active in a long time have a higher risk of disease. It is said also, early death can result from obesity due to lack of moving.

So what’s the solution? WHO recommends that we everyday do exercise (regular physical activity) at least 30 minutes. []
