Laugh ! Our body has extreme reactions when it starts a laughter phenomenon. But what really, physically and chemically happens when we laugh? Is it really good for our health? Thanks to various (obviously) hilarious experiences, "Matiere Grise" has monitored laughing people in order to understand what really happens in a body, a heart, a muscle, a brain and globally in a person who laughs. At the end of the day, one thing is for sure: laughing is scientifically good for our health... and nobody's healthier than someone who's died of laughing!
