635. Vitamin L Is For Laughter

“Laughter is merry medicine,” was written over 4000 years ago by King Solomon in the Book of Proverbs. Dr. Martin discusses a new study about the good laughter does for our health, and shares how he learned to laugh at himself a long time ago.  The study is showing a boost in the immune system, and a chemical change in the brain to combat the cumulative effects of stress – all because of laughter! Dr. Martin also shares an interesting study on inflammation. It’s looking at grip strength as an indicator of inflammation. If someone is weak in their hands, there’s a good chance inflammation is happening in their body.
