PROGRAM: There has always been a sense - even before a lot of research and expensive studies verified it - that a good belly laugh makes one feel better! But now is a proven fact! Laughter is a simple but revolutionary exercise which lowers blood pressure; helps chucklers worry less; defuses fear, anger and boredom; and changes who we are for the better. Perhaps a sign of the stress most Americans - and the world - are under, more than 6000 Laughter Clubs have sprung up all over the globe since 1995 - the brainchild of Dr. Madan Kataria of Mumbai, India. Even TV personalities Oprah Winfrey, Ellen deGeneris and others have explored the benefits of giggles hosting Laughter Club members on their shows and, in the process, creating stress free audiences. During the Monday, April 26 meeting of SGR, Ron Harrison, a member of the Las Vegas Laughter Club, had Rotarians and guests on their feet to exercise the health benefits of a good laugh! According to today’s presenter, "laughter puts us in the ‘here and now’ of life, helps us intensely experience the moment, and, well . . . it’s just darn fun!" Monday, April 26, 2010
