新概念雙語(yǔ)：揭女人永葆童顏的終極秘訣：捧腹大笑？

Boosts Immune System 加強(qiáng)免疫系統(tǒng)

Laughter not only makes you feel good, but it helps boost your immune system too.

大笑不僅可以使你感覺(jué)良好，還能加強(qiáng)你的免疫系統(tǒng)。

Scientists found that laughter decreases serum cortisol levels (stress chemicals), increases T lymphocytes (white blood cells that play a key role in immunity), and increases the number of natural killer cells.

科學(xué)家發(fā)現(xiàn)，大笑可以降低人體內(nèi)的血清皮質(zhì)醇水平(造成壓力的化學(xué)物質(zhì))，增加T淋巴細(xì)胞(對(duì)免疫系統(tǒng)起到重要作用的白血球)，還能增加體內(nèi)的自然殺手細(xì)胞的數(shù)量。

These results suggest that laughter stimulates the immune system and ultimately makes you healthier.

這些研究結(jié)果表明，大笑可以增強(qiáng)免疫系統(tǒng)，最終讓你變得更健康。

Increases Attractiveness 增加吸引力

A study by a Canadian University found that laughter makes you more attractive to the opposite sex. The study found that smiley people seem more approachable, plus when you laugh, your blood supply increases, causing a rosy glow to the skin, making it appear more youthful and appealing to look at.

加拿大大學(xué)的一項(xiàng)研究發(fā)現(xiàn)，大笑可以使你對(duì)異性產(chǎn)生更大的吸引力。愛(ài)笑的人看起來(lái)更容易親近，而且，當(dāng)你笑起來(lái)的時(shí)候，體內(nèi)的供血就會(huì)增加，皮膚就會(huì)顯現(xiàn)出粉紅色的紅暈，使你看起來(lái)更加年輕，更加迷人。

Provides Pain Relief

減少疼痛

Researchers at Oxford University found that laughter can act as an effective pain reliever. Laughter releases the feel-good chemical endorphin and it acted like pain relief to the participants.

牛津大學(xué)的研究發(fā)現(xiàn)，大笑可以有效地止痛。大笑會(huì)使體內(nèi)釋放出腦內(nèi)啡，這種物質(zhì)會(huì)使人心情愉快，并減少疼痛。

Helps Keep Heart Healthy

保持心臟健康

According to a recent study, laughter, along with an active sense of humor, could help protect you against a heart attack. The study found that people with heart disease were 40% less likely to laugh in a variety of situations compared to people of the same age without heart disease.

根據(jù)近期的研究表明，大笑和幽默可以保護(hù)你免受心臟病的困擾。研究發(fā)現(xiàn)，在各種情境下，與沒(méi)有心臟病的人相比，患有心臟病的病人大(微博)笑的次數(shù)要少掉40%。

Another study claimed that laughing 100 times a day is the equivalent of 10 minutes of rowing. The study also found that laughter increases the heart rate, improves blood circulation, and works muscles all over the body.

還有的研究發(fā)現(xiàn)，每天笑100次的話，就相當(dāng)于劃船10分鐘。該研究還指出，大笑可以提高心率，改善血液循環(huán)，活動(dòng)全身肌肉。

Keeps You Fit

纖體瘦身

A study by Loma Linda University found that a good belly laugh positively affected two hormones that regulate appetite, leptin and ghrelin, meaning it could also help decrease appetite.

美國(guó)加州洛瑪連達(dá)大學(xué)的一項(xiàng)研究發(fā)現(xiàn)，捧腹大笑對(duì)人體內(nèi)控制食欲的兩大激素瘦蛋白和胃饑餓素起到很好的抑制作用。這就表示大笑可以減少食欲。
