Dr. Oz Says Laugh to Be Healthy!

Check it out: Dr. Oz (of Oprah fame) has a list of 25 Health Tips to Swear By

The number 1 tip? Laughing:

I’ve never seen Dr. Oz’s show, so I don’t know if he’s a laugh riot (Tip #4 is to look at your own poo, which could be seen as funny or deeply disturbing, so I guess it’s a matter of perspective). But he knows about health, so if he says you should laugh more, then I think you should laugh more.

Here are two self-serving and one not so self-serving ways to laugh more:

1. Read my blog! I try to have some level of humor in all the posts, but for purely funny stuff, check out the Just Funny Category (and pass it along – you want your friends and family to be healthy too, right?
2. Book me to speak at your next event (I told you that two were self-serving…) Ok, this might not make you laugh right now, but if you’re having a convention or event, using the right funny conference speaker can not only inject your event with laughs, but also show your group how to find laughter in all of their day to day activities. Which brings us to:
3. Find and watch funny stuff Humor and comedy is all around us, you just need to open your eyes to see it. Watch funny movies and TV shows, read funny books and websites, subscribe to funny blogs, hang out with funny people, and start asking yourself, “what’s funny about this?” The more you train yourself to find humor, the easier it will be to laugh at everything. And Dr. Oz thinks that can help you live longer.

P.S. If you want a quick laugh, I came across the video below on Topless Robot and it cracked me up. I can’t explain why I find it so funny, but I do. If you like Star Wars and absurd but simple humor, you may enjoy this too…
