Do you want to live a happier, less stressful life? Try laughing for no reason at all. That’s how thousands of people start their day at laughter Clubs around the world—and many doctors now think that having a good laugh might be one of the best ways to stay healthy.

The first laughter Club was started in Mumbai, India, in 1995 by Dr Madan Kataria. “ Young children laugh about 300 times a day.

I was quite nervous at the beginning of the class, to be honest--I wasn’t interested in laughing with a group of strangers, and I was worried about looking stupid. Our laughter teacher told us to clap our hands and say“ho ho ho, ha ha ha.” While looking at each other. However,Our bodies can’t tell the difference between fake（假的） laughter and real laughter, so they still produce the same healthy effects.
