A Good Belly Laugh

Who doesn't love a good laugh?  I don't know who told me this, but I remember being told that "your day is not complete without 3 belly laughs".  What is a belly laugh?  It is a loud laugh from your deep belly that is often uncontrollable.  Not only do belly laughs make you feel good, laughter is good for your health!  Researchers suggest that laughter helps lower stress levels and believe it or not, it strengthens your immune system, helping to fight off disease!
