Laughter is a powerful way to restore the mood, what if combined with yoga?
It is true if there is a presumption 'laughter is the best medicine'. A number of researchers studying the effects of laughter on elderly women are more vulnerable to depression and began to frequently experience a variety of health disorders. Her inspiration comes from the notion that laughter can repair one's mood, either because a funny laugh and just laugh for no reason.
The study involved 70 depressed women aged 60 to 80 years, divided into three groups. A total of 23 women receiving therapy Laughter Yoga, the next 23 received therapeutic exercise, while the remaining 24 women were not given any treatment as a control study. Each woman began this research by completing a number of questions to determine their level of depression and how far he was satisfied with his life.
Form of laughter yoga exercises or Laughter Yoga consists of 10 sessions, each beginning with a variety of ideas that are funny, followed by applause to improve the energy and rhythm games. They are invited to follow the swinging arm and cheerful ditty to activate the diaphragm. These laughing exercises interspersed with deep breathing exercises to relax physically and mentally. Whereas those who underwent exercise therapy do 10 sessions of aerobic exercise for 30 minutes each time.
At the end of the study, women were again asked to fill out questionnaires. Researchers found that Laughter Yoga is as effective - and can even be more effective, such as exercise therapy, in terms of raising the women who are depressed mood and make them more able to appreciate life as a whole.
Looks like this is not true for older women only. One time if you feel depressed, do yoga, interspersed with a few times to take a deep breath, then laughed as hard as I and segeli-amusement. You will find the mind and body more refreshed afterward.
