Reading jokes not only entertains but also brings a myriad of psychological and physiological benefits. Laughter, triggered by jokes, releases endorphins, the body’s natural feel-good chemicals, promoting an overall sense of well-being and temporarily relieving pain. It also reduces stress hormone levels, helping manage stress and enhance relaxation.
Furthermore, jokes stimulate many areas of the brain and improve mental functions such as creativity, alertness, and memory. Socially, sharing jokes can strengthen relationships by creating bonding moments. It encourages a positive outlook on life, helping to cultivate resilience against mental stress and building a lighter, more optimistic mood amidst daily challenges.
Check the joke below:
A woman in her late 30s was happily jumping – unclothed – on her bed and squealing with delight.
Her husband watches her for a while then asks, “Do you have any idea how ridiculous you look? What’s the matter with you?”
The woman continues to bounce on the bed and says, “I don’t care what you think. I just came from having a mammogram and the doctor says that not only am I healthy but I have the breasts of an 18-year-old.”
The husband replies, “What did he say about your 38-year-old arse?”
“Your name never came up,” she says.
