Yup, laugh and the world laughs with you, cry and you cry alone. One more reason to laugh? Well, according to a Japanese study, listening to your favorite music or laughing for just one hour every other week can lower your blood pressure by five to six points in three months. This has the positive effects of losing ten pounds.
