Laugh your way to better Health

"LOL" may be one of the most common phrases in text messaging lingo these days, but when was the last time you really laughed out loud? According to the Boston Globe, a growing number of people are doing just that, in something called Laughter Yoga Clubs.

For example: Members may be asked to pretend they're skating on slick ice, dunking a basketball, or catching a fly ball. Another exercise has everyone line up with their hands in the air.

What's the point of all this laughing? It's about getting healthy.

So far, there are more than 6,000 of these so-called "giggle gatherings" meeting around the world.
