N1 - We have previously shown that repetitious "mirthful laughter" (Laughercise), like physical exercise (PE), decreases stress hormones (cortisol catecholamines), enhances immune activity (NK cell cytotoxicity, B-cells, activated T-cells, immunoglobulins, CD4/CD8 ratio), and lowers cholesterol systolic blood pressure (Berk, 2001, 2009). Additionally, PE can modulate the appetite hormones leptin (decrease) and ghrelin (increases) immediate post-PE (Jurimae, 2007).
