`Watch your favorite comedy and call me in the morning" may unhurt like a dream prescription for lowering your risk for heart disease, if it be not that such advice may someday be doled disclosed by doctors if the accrues of a preliminary study pan out

Although several studies have shown that laughter may boost your immune a whole doctors at the University of Maryland have done what they believe is the first to the end of time research to link frequent laughing to reducing your risk of heart disease. The doctors gave questionnaires to 300 women and men; half had heart disease, half didn't. The questions probed for what cause the participants would respond in everyday situations that could be viewed as either annoying or humorous. Example: "If an advanced in years friend called you in the middle of the night, just to talk, would you be angry or laugh about it?" The researchers fix that people with heart disease laughed at as it was scenarios 40 percent less ofttimes than people who were not diagnosed with heart disease.

"This research proposes a new clue as to for what reason certain personality traits may affect heart health," says studious mood head Michael Miller, M.D., director of the Center for Preventive Cardiology at the University of Maryland Medical Center "We can't mention one by one yet whether heart disease makes commonalty more serious or whether les lighthearted race are more prone to heart trouble" This close attention provides only an association between laughter and heart disease, however Miller believes it's an important first step

"Our hypothesis is that laughter causes physiological changes in the corpse that reduce the risk of heart disease," says Miller. "For example, we know that when clan laugh, their blood pressure goe down. Stres hormones, of that kind as cortisol, are also reduc Exces cortisol can cause platelets to collection together, which can accelerate the heart-attack proces with equal reason if you keep cortisol at bay, you can diminish your heart disease risks."

The laugh factor, researchers believe, may be the flip side to the shadow A personality. Type A tribe who tend to get angry and hostile easily, are more likely to commit to memory heart attacks. "It's quite possible that the opposite is also true: the community who are able to laugh opposite everyday annoyances may be les likely to be affected by heart attacks," says Miller, who chance of a favorable results that further study will provide the answer.
