Older People Don't Laugh Enough

We'd Be Healthier and Happier If We Did

Recall the last time your were grumpy? Likely you had some level of pain, either physical or mental. As we age, pain becomes so common we just try to put up with it. But research suggests that laughter can help.
Welcome to my laughter website. I run it for older adults specifically.
I'm R A Murphy. I'm an old guy myself, in my late seventies, .

We know laughter does help. Multiple research studies have shown that mirth can have a positive effect on our bodies, our hearts, our mind, our circulation, our breathing.
Personally, I believe when we have more fun, we become a more positive force in our world. When we laugh more, and enjoy our lives more, we're able to give more to others.

If you agree those are important things, please join me. If not, stick around anyway, you'll likely enjoy it, even if you're a stick in the mud. Let's have some fun!

R A Murphy's What's Next Podcast

What's Next is my weekly podcast. I report and analyse the latest developments in tech, travel, health, and more.

But I don't just report. Nothing is perfect. There's almost always a feature to the "shiny new thing" that is likely to bite us in the behind, sooner or later. I look down the road a bit and imagine what might just happen...
Don't say I didn't warn you!
