Laugh It Up - a podcast by Ben Jackson

You’ve probably heard the quote “laughter is the best medicine”. That seems like a nice sentiment and something that can’t possibly be true. But it turns out that laughter is an essential part of our physical health and mental health and something we shouldn’t ignore. And while modern science is proving this with research and data, people as far back as the 1300s knew the importance of humor and health. Henri de Mondeville, a French surgeon, helped aid recovery from surgeries by prescribing humor therapy.  "Let the surgeon take care to regulate the whole regimen of the patient's life for joy and happiness, allowing his relatives and special friends to cheer him and by having someone tell him jokes," he wrote. Sounds pretty good to me. So today let’s talk about the importance of laughter and I’ll prove to you that it is truly the best medicine and something we desperately need in 2020.
