Do you want to live a happier，less stressful（有壓力的） life？Try laughing for no reason at all．That's how millions of people start their day at Laughter（笑聲） 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．Adults laugh between 7 and 15 times a day，"says Dr．Kataria．"Everyone is naturally good at laughing-it's the common language．We want people to feel happy with their lives．"There are now more than 500 Laughter Clubs in India and over 1，300 in the world．
Many doctors are also interested in the effects（效果） of laughter on our health．According to a 5-year study at the UCLA School of Medicine in California，with laughing there is less stress in the body．Laughter improves our health against illness by about 40%．
So what happens at a Laughter Club？I went along to my nearest club in South London to find out．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 silly．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 real laughter and unreal laughter，so they still produce the same healthy effects．
Surprisingly，it works!After ten minutes everybody in the room was laughing for real and some people just couldn't stop!At the end of the class I was surprised by how relaxed and comfortable I felt．So if you're under stress，then start laughing．You might be very pleased with the results．

1．According to a recent report，about 15% of the people in the UK are members of gyms.But are they more likely to be fit？
A study found that gym members were 14 times more active than people who didn't belong to any health club.Gym members did six hours more exercise a week，and this activity did make them fitter than non- gym members.They also spent less time sitting down every day than non- gym members.The results were the same for men and women.
The study included 405 people between the ages of 30 and 64，and the main characteristics of those who were gym members were the same as those who were not. "But gym members did more training than non-gym members，" said the lead author，Elizabeth Schroeder of the University of Illinois.While it might seem clear that gym members exercise more and are healthier than non-gym members，Schroeder says this has not been directly shown before.However，the study is only designed to show a tie between gym membership and more exercise.It may be that active people like to join gyms.In the study，people who exercised as much as gym members were also in good health.
You can get the same benefits wherever you exercise.This study shows a gym membership can make you do more exercise，but other research shows that exercising outside has other help.Outdoor activity can make you feel happy about life，especially if you run through a forest.
Outdoor exercise is also more interesting than going to the gym.The first five minutes of outdoor exercise is especially helpful in making people feel good.But Schroeder says that a gym may also encourage greater exercise because it can be social and fun.
