Directions: Look back in the paragraph to find the number of the reason. Write the number

It has been said that laughter is the best medicine. Well, it may be true. Doctors
have found that laughter seems to have a positive effect on your body, mind, and
mood. Here’s some good reasons to “yuck it up.”



  1. Laughing makes your heart beat a little faster, and that strengthens it.

  2. Having a good chuckle works your abdominal muscles.

  3. People who laugh more may not get ill as often.

  4. When you laugh, you feel less angry.

  5. A good belly laugh will take away stress.

  6. Giggling flexes your cheeks, and that gives them a
    little workout.

  7. A cheerful person makes other people feel happy too.
