Study: 2 minutes of laughter a day can save the heart

New studies show that just two minutes of genuine laughter can provide heart benefits equivalent to 20 minutes of walking.

According to research from the University of Maryland Medical Center, laughter dilates blood vessels, improves circulation, and supplies tissues with more oxygen, an effect that works like a mini-workout for the heart.

In addition to the physical benefits, laughter also helps reduce stress hormones, protecting the heart from long-term damage.

So, joy and humor are not just emotions, they are powerful allies of your cardiovascular health.

Meanwhile, cardiac arrest is a very serious and potentially fatal condition that can happen to anyone, causing the immediate cessation of blood circulation in the body.

Cardiac arrest is often confused with a heart attack, although they are two different conditions with different mechanisms and consequences. If not treated immediately, this condition can be fatal./ CNA
