Researchers working on the benefits of laughter have found that both laughter and workout affect the appetite hormone the same way. “Having a good laugh and moderate exercise may provide similar benefits," says Lee Berk, DrPH, MPH, director of the molecular research laboratory at Loma Linda University in Loma Linda, California.
“But this does not mean that a person can build muscles by sitting and just laughing," warns Berk. He says that laughter, which is known to reduce stress and heart disease, may improve appetite in those who have lost it due to age or disability. In others, laughter is known to improve the overall mental health of the person.
