Insurance Companies in the United States
spent over 300 billion dollars in
stress-related compensation claims last
year. It is estimated that in Britain
work-related stress is responsible for six
million days of sick leave a year, with
stress also being linked to many minor and
major illnesses. Technology and
globalization was supposed to make all of
our lives less stressful and simpler, but
the opposite is true. Every day thousands of
employees sit through boring, poorly planned
and stressful meetings to hear about “Making
the Numbers” or “The latest Benefits cut”.
Why not make your next meeting or event less
stressful and add some humor by hiring a
“Funny Speaker”. Laughter is the great
connecter to all people regardless of race,
gender or religion. Laughter also has
significant health benefits that can reduce
work related stress, they are:
 Helps
control high blood pressure and
heart disease. While there are
many factors for these like
heredity, obesity, smoking and
excessive intake of saturated
fats, stress is one of the major
factors. Laughter definitely
helps to control blood pressure
by reducing the release of
stress-related hormones and
bringing relaxation.
Increasing
stamina through increased oxygen
supply
Alleviates
pain and gives a sense of well
being by releasing endorphins,
the body’s painkiller hormones.
Effective
antidote for depression, anxiety
and psychosomatic disorders:
laughter boosts the production
of serotonin, a natural
anti-depressant.
Gives
an excellent internal massage to
the digestive tract and enhances
blood supply to important
internal organs like the liver,
spleen, pancreas, kidneys and
adrenal glands.
Brings
a happy glow to your face and
makes your eyes shine with a
thin film of tears which are
squeezed from the lachrymal sacs
during the act of laughter.

colds, peptic ulcers, insomnia, allergies,
asthma, menstrual difficulties, tension
headaches, stomach upsets and even cancer,
have some connection to stress.
