Dr. Madan Kataria founded Laughter Yoga and as such in 1988 “patented the world day of laughter”. This movement has millions of followers around the world, and bases its activity on the benefits that laughter brings.

In Spain, every first Sunday of May the most important act of happiness is commemorated and should always accompany you on a daily basis.

The benefits that laughter gives to our body are enormous and scientifically proven, even becoming therapy for the cure and prevention of many diseases.

CURIOSITIES OF LAUGHTER YOU MAY NOT KNOW

• “Laughter, the great ally against insomnia”.  That’s right, oddly enough, laughter is an excellent catalyst for sleep. The fact that with each laugh we put into operation more than 400 muscles and we banish our fears, makes laughter an excellent therapy against insomnia.

• “Why is laughter contagious?” His reason has a scientific answer. The mirror neurons of our brain have the function of imitating what we see, and just as we imitate our parents in their behavior we do so with laughter.

• “First collection of jokes in history”. As early as the fourth century, the Greeks produced the first collection of jokes; the FILOGELOS (lover of laughter). They were the first 265 jokes collected and show, as in ancient times, if he also cultivated humor.

• “Hilarious; reality or fiction?”.  Opinions on the matter are varied, but what does seem clear is that fainting with laughter (shortness of breath) is not as rare as it seems. Whether myth or reality, the expression “dying with laughter” has turned this question into a great unknown.
