The health benefits of laughter have been widely documented. As we age, however, we stop laughing.

As a child, you laugh up to 300 times a day, as an aging adult your laugh quotient drops to 10 times a day.

When you reintroduce yourself to laughter your blood pressure drops, you stress level decreases and guess what other people want to spend time with you.

Socializing is vitally important as we age, without our brains starve and we find ourselves on a long slow slide into frailty.

Fraser Health's Frailty Program encourages you to go to your GP, have a Geriatric Assessment test and then get active, engaged and filled with joy. And yes laughter.

Otherwise, you'll find yourself on that slippery slope of frailty. Find out more about the CARES program at [ Ссылка ]
