Huh? Yes, you read that right! While it takes fewer muscles to laugh or smile than it does to frown, it has been well documented that both are not only fun, but also play an important in your maintaining optimal health!

My mom always told me to stick with a man that could make me laugh over one that was pleasing to the eye! Of course in my teens I thought she had a screw loose, but now I am forever grateful for her wise words.

Let’s face it life sucks sometimes, and well, sometimes you just need to drink The Feast and have a good laugh to make it through the day! While Urilife’s The Feast tastes great, research shows that laughter actually protects the heart. When we are stressed, the endothelium (protective layer in our blood vessels) decreases, allowing cholesterol to build up in our arteries.

Laughter can lower the risk of this hardening of the arteries. It has also been linked to lowering the risk of diabetes, increase antibodies to help fight disease and increase blood flow. Not to mention laughing 100 times is equivalent to 10 minutes on a rowing machine or treadmill!

Need I say more? It seems that we have many choices throughout the bulk of the day, but I believe our most important is our happiness. You can either be wrapped in bondage by negativity and stress or you can seek out the positive and humor in any given situation.

Flood your mind with thoughts that make you smile. And we all know how contagious a smile is so be sure to pass it on, so they too can achieve True Optimal Health:~)

Make it a Day to Remember!
