Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) is one of several names given to this poorly understood, variably debilitating disorder of uncertain causes.

 

CFS often manifests with widespread myalgia and arthralgia, cognitive difficulties, chronic mental and physical exhaustion, often severe, and other characteristic symptoms in a previously healthy and active person.

 

Medical experts are discovering that the old saying, “laughter is the best medicine,” is more true than they ever realized.

 

Studies have repeatedly found that laughter has both physiological as well as psychological benefits.

 

There are various theories as to the physical mechanisms involved, but the important point is that laughter not only makes us feel better, it helps our bodies to heal.  A giggle is good for you, but a belly laugh is even better.  The harder you laugh, the more positive physical benefits you receive.
