This Stress Awareness Month, find simple ways to feel better, get healthier, and laugh a little more
April is Stress Awareness Month, and it’s no accident that World Health Day and Moments of Laughter Day also land in April. Science backs it up—laughter isn’t just fun, it’s good for your body and mind.
When you laugh, your brain releases feel-good chemicals like dopamine and endorphins, while lowering stress hormones that contribute to depression, anxiety, and even trouble sleeping. It’s one of the easiest ways to boost your mood, lower your blood pressure, and support a healthy heart.
