The Atrium

Today is Act Happy Day! Founded by Dr. Dale Anderson as a way for people to "unlock a cellular pharmacy and enable one to become high on life." Much research has been done to support Dr. Anderson's belief.

Recent studies into the emotion of laughter have shown that it releases chemicals in the body which support good health. A daily dose of hardy laughter can be good for stress-relief and digestion. Some holistic doctors even recommend it for therapy.

An NPR story reports that the Pentagon is training military families to use laughter as a health aid.

So smile, have a hardy laugh, and a great Be Happy Day!
