From Reader's Digest:
Researchers prescribed a daily "dose" of humor - 30 minutes of a favorite sitcom or video - to diabetes patients, along with standard medication. Blood tests taken before an after the study showed that patients who tickled their funny bones lowered their heart risk substantially: They had about a 26 percent increase in HDL "good" cholesterol), compared with a bump of just 3 percent among patients in the control group.
Low HDL is the one item that pops up consistently in my own blood tests. Guess I'd better start watching more Seinfeld!
