Being a clown is a noble profession.
Clowns have proven to improve lung function in patients with chronic
obstructive pulmonary disease. Genuine laughter for a whole day
could burn 2,000 calories and lower the blood sugar in people with
diabetics, a review published in the British Medical Journal found.
Laughter also enhanced fertility, Thirty six percent of would-be
mothers who were entertained by a clown after in vitro fertilization
and embryo transfer became pregnant compared with 20 percent in the
control group. OK, women, no jokes please.
