2. What is your understanding of the saying “laughter is the best medicine” Do you agree with it Why

Laughter has a similar effect to physical exercise.
It speeds up our heart rate, increases our blood pressure and quickens our breathing.
Laughter is actually a powerful weapon against stress, heart disease and problems with the immune system.
