People performing laughter yoga

Do you know the health benefits of laughter? Do you know that both fake laughter and hearty laughter cause similar positive health effects? Yoga that takes advantage of these benefits is known as “laughter yoga,” a combination of laughter and yoga exercises. It is practiced in more than 100 countries. Laughter yoga is effective in improving the physical and mental health of elderly people and treating depression and other mental disorders recently seen in all age groups. Under the motto “Walk for health, laugh for health,” Ms. Kotani, the shop manager, not only sells nursing care products but also organizes various kinds of events designed to allow local people to relax and refresh themselves every week, with the aim of promoting comprehensive health promotion. She says that she will continue to help people promote their physical and mental health with the power of laughter, a power that everyone has.

SDG-oriented features

Laughter yoga is effective in promoting the mental health of all people, including the elderly, who recently have fewer opportunities to communicate and laugh a hearty laugh. Ms. Kotani provides customers with advice on selecting nursing care products that are convenient to use and suitable to each customer, as well as offering them opportunities to enjoy laughter yoga and gather together for relaxation. These various approaches to health promotion reflect Ms. Kotani’s desire to make everyone healthy.
