Laugh it up

Having a good giggle is healthy not only for your mental well-being, but your physical health, too–laughing increases blood flow and improves vessel function, according to a doctor from the Society for Vascular Surgery in the U.S.

So whether it’s planning some gags on friends for April Fool’s Day, watching Role Models again (hilarity!), or brunchin’ with your BFFs, make sure laughing it up is on tap.

(and remember, a hearty, open-mouth laugh will get others to join in more than a discreet little chuckle).
