Why we cry, and why is it so important? And why we should laugh?

These questions have kept me wondering for yearss. They don't tell you this stuff in school, so I just thought I'd share it here ;)

They are really interesting facts!



Tears flow from our eyes when we cry because they contain chemicals and hormones produced by our bodies.
When we become upset, our brains and bodies overreact and work overtime by producing chemicals and hormones.
Crying helps eliminate these extra chemicals that we don't need.
The chemicals and hormones disappear from our body through the form of tears.



As our tears flow, they sooth our sadness or distress by withdrawing these chemical agents.
That is why many people feel calmer or more refreshed after crying--because the tears get rid of these hormones that are produced when we are sad, happy, or distressed.





So, cry when you feel like it =) It hurts when you don't let the tears come out right? It feels like there's something stucked in your throat.



And why we should laugh?



Physiologically, laughter promotes healing (well that's new :S), by lowering the blood pressure, and by increasing the vascular blood flow and the oxygenation of the blood.


Physical fitness stemming from laughter is a benefit known to few. Scientists estimate that laughing 100 times is equivalent to a 10-minute workout on a rowing machine, or to 15 minutes on a stationary exercise bike. The mere act of laughing exercises the diaphragm, as well as the abdominal, respiratory, facial, leg, and back muscles.- WOW.


Another benefit of laughter is that it improves our over-all mental health. Pent up negative emotions, such as anger, fear, and sadness, can cause biochemical changes in our bodies that can produce a harmful effect.
Laughter provides a harmless outlet for these negative emotions, and provides a coping mechanism for dealing with difficult or stressful situations. =) =)
