Ep 23: Benefits of Humor and Laughter as We Age

Guest Tom Kidd discusses the physical and psychological benefits of finding humor in life—something that might not come as easy for some as we age.

March 8, 2024

Research shows that, on average, children laugh 120 times a day while adults only laugh 17. As we brave the more serious sides of aging, it is important to incorporate ways to experience life’s lighter side to keep us balanced and be able to cope. In fact, laughter and a healthy dose of humor have been shown in studies to improve our physical, psychological, and social well-being. Tom Kidd of Balanced Wellness Services, a former health educator with approximately 30 years of teaching experience, sits down with Lisa Wells to discuss the benefits of finding humor and laughter later on in life.
