Therefore, there are many proverbs circulating among the people. For "smile, ten years old, worry, hoary head", "anger makes people old, smile makes people younger", "smile often, youth is always there" and so on.

Since ancient times, laughter has been regarded as a good medicine for treating diseases and a magic weapon for keeping fit and preventing diseases. Doctors in the Zhou Dynasty used laughter to treat diseases long ago. For example, Zhang, a famous doctor in Jin and Yuan Dynasties, cured many patients with the emotional therapy of "conquering worries with joy" and "conquering worries with joy". There was a wife of a county magistrate who got sick and didn't want to eat. Sometimes she cursed loudly and threatened to kill someone. After repeated treatment by famous doctors, it has no effect. Later, Zhang was invited for treatment. The famous doctor Zhang invited two cabaret artists, wearing novel makeup, to sing and dance in front of the patient, and the patient laughed. The next day, two dancers were asked to learn the animal vertex angle and play with each other, which made the patient laugh even more. After that, I found two women who ate a lot. They often praised the sweet and delicious food while eating beside the patients. The patient is so greedy that he wants to eat these foods. Subsequently, the appetite gradually increased and the disease was cured. Soon, a fat child was born. There are many such examples. It can be seen that laughter can cure diseases and keep fit. Marx once said: "A good mood can relieve mental fatigue and pain more than ten pairs of good medicine." In today's world, laughter is also impressive, and various institutions that study laughter emerge one after another. Such as Laughing World, Laughing Alliance, Laughing City, Humor Association, Laughing Center, Laughing Square and so on.

Healthy laughter comes from the bottom of my heart. Laughter is a harmonious blend of physiology and psychology, and it is a pleasant sound. A healthy and optimistic smile is a natural smile from the heart. People smile at every happy event, which is the expression of their inner world. Such a smile is good for their health. And those who laugh wildly and are cold are not good for your health, and sometimes you will get sick because of it. What kind of smile is the best? Listen to cross talk and enjoy some interesting pantomime or humorous works. And making a harmonious, relaxed and comfortable smile is a healthy and natural smile. Contentment is the source of laughter. To maintain a happy mood and a happy smile forever, we must first cultivate an optimistic spirit and the idea of "contentment is always happy". Only when the psychological balance is stable can we keep smiling and always smile. Many small troubles in real life mostly come from dissatisfaction with fame and pleasure. Therefore, we should always understand the truth that "there is a shortage in the world, but there is a surplus in the world" and "contentment always leads to happiness". Being contented is always happy, being happy leads to affection, and being happy leads to nurturing, which is beneficial to physical and mental health. 3. Humor is the key to laughter. Lenin once said: "Humor is a beautiful and healthy quality." Humor is the expression of wisdom, education and moral superiority. Humor is relaxed. It expresses the ability of human beings to conquer worries and difficulties. It is a relief and a "relaxed" examination of life. A person full of humor must be an optimist. Frowning does not breed humor. The direct function of humor is to produce a smile, which makes people refreshed and full of life. Its subtle function is to please the soul and prolong life. Humor and laughter are rich nutrients in people's spiritual world. Therefore, everyone should cultivate their sense of humor. All kinds of difficulties and contradictions encountered in life, if treated with humor, will certainly add infinite wonderful meaning and different interests. Living in a humorous atmosphere, a healthy and relaxed smile often appears on your face. A rich life is the condition of laughter. To maintain a healthy mental state, we must first love our work. Have a special ambition, be willing to forget myself, and be proud of making contributions to society. In addition, you should have a wide range of interests and have fun. Piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, flowers, birds, fish and insects, sightseeing and other activities are all conducive to the adjustment of body and mind. Furthermore, we should make friends, be willing to talk to each other and pour out our feelings, so that our emotions will become open-minded and relaxed. In short, adjust and decorate your life with colorful hobbies, make life full of interest and colorful, and stimulate a strong desire to love life. Joy is beyond words, open-minded, cheerful and optimistic, and the tree of life can last forever. The practice of life has proved that people who are good at laughing are less sick, optimistic, long-lived and happy. For your health and happiness, you should learn to control your emotions and develop a carefree character. May your face be full of healthy smiles, and let sweet laughter accompany you all your life.
