Hobbies and interests are good for the soul, so too is laughter. Laughter, while a natural response is also a healing one. Regardless of schedules, when an individual can take fifteen to twenty minutes out of the day to read an online humor magazine, it can be very beneficial to the healing process.
In recent days, science has shown why and how laughter heals. The first of which being that it is a natural and unavoidable response. It is good to read humorous content outside of working hours to avoid laugh out loud moments at the workplace. While not as important as breathing, or, the liver pumping blood, laughter is key to a happy and healthy life.
Critics suggest that laughter is merely a response and that there are no valid health benefits. This could not be further from the truth. While some may question whether laughter is a valid prescription by a health care provider, there are many who now believe in the healing power it can provide. In many cases, belief based on scientific research which shows this to be case.

While there are critics to this scientific research, many doctors are now prescribing laughter for various illnesses and injuries.

Endorphins are a feel good hormone that comes from the body when extremely overexerted or relaxed. Laughter also helps the body in other ways. Endorphins alone can aid in relaxing, reducing stress and maintaining health sleep patterns. The association between these endorphins and laughter has been well studied and proved more than once in various research studies.
Different types of humor can lead to different types of responses from others. For example, satire can often be hard to digest if one does not understand it is being provided in a humorous context. In other situations, like when watching sit-coms like New Girl and Seinfeld, laugh responses are based on personal taste when it comes to humor. Whereas, when watching stand-up comedy, at least part of the act is most likely going to result in a laugh response from audience members.
