When we laugh we release endorphin and dopamine

Promised, we will try to be as technical as possible in our explanation. First, you should know that a natural laugh is not the same thing as a forced or simulated laugh, they do not produce the same effects. When a person laughs in all sincerity, so his brain releases the Endorphins, which is a neurotransmitter that has an effect similar to morphine. Endorphin is also known as the "natural opiate".

The brain also releases Dopamine, which is another very important neurotransmitter and is related to everything that affects our psychological well-being. At the same time, cortisol levels decrease in our brain. Cortisol is known as the "stress hormone". All this is triggered at the same time and simply thanks to laughter. Now that you know all that, you have no excuse for not starting to smile every day a little more. There is no doubt at the scientific level that laughter brings us well-being and allows us to see life in a more positive way.
