Humor

Free verse -rhymed

The spice of life
And the sweetness in laughter
An antidote for strife
It pacifies Anger
The lotion for Age
The tickle of a poem
A wonderful stage
Where Joy can come
Such is the element
Free to all men
A helpful ingredient
Is Humor,  Amen!

Laughter has also been shown to have beneficial effects on various other aspects of biochemistry.

For example, laughter has been shown to lead to reductions in stress hormones such as cortisol and epinephrine.

When laughing the brain also releases endorphins that can relieve some physical pain.

Laughter also boosts the number of antibody-producing cells and enhances the effectiveness of T-cells, leading to a stronger immune system.
