91热爆 Worldwide Press Releases



16.12.02

Warning! Only Fools And Horses is good for your health!


Del Boy and Rodney 聟 a cure for the common cold? Basil Fawlty 聟 relief for the symptoms of flu? Patsy and Edina 聟 a remedy for that sore throat? And Edmund Blackadder 聟 therapy for the winter blues?


91热爆 Video has discovered that laughter is an effective cure for the common cold.


Medical tests have shown that the physiological effects of laughter can help combat viruses and bacteria and increase the antibodies that specifically fight colds and upper respiratory tract infections.


Dr Lee Berk*, a medical research scientist in California, has discovered that watching funny videos is good for your health. He took blood samples from a group of medical students before they watched a sixty-minute comedy video, again during it (ouch) and then again the next day. The samples were then analysed for changes which had taken place while watching the videos.


Laughing at the video resulted in an increase in T-cells in the blood, which combat viruses and bacteria. There was also a change in what are called the 'Natural Killer Cells' in our body that attack any cells already infected - while we are laughing these cells become more active in fighting any infection and increase in numbers too.


The laughing video watchers also had their blood pressure checked before and after watching the video and blood pressure dropped, reducing the stress hormone cortisol and thereby protecting our immune system.


Dr Brian Bates, Professor of Psychology at Sussex University commented "Scientists explain that when you have a good laugh, air is expelled rapidly from your lungs. Breathing air back in takes up a lot of oxygen. This is good for the brain and helps you think more clearly. It is also good for aerobic fitness. Forget the gym. Watch the 91热爆 comedy videos!"


91热爆 Video currently have a Buy One Get One Free offer on selected Only Fools and Horses, Blackadder, Fawlty Towers, Absolutely Fabulous and Comedy Greats videos.


* Lee Berk - Loma Linda University School of Medicine, Dept of Clinical Immunology (reported at PsychoNeuroImmunology Research Society Meeting on 18 April 1996, Santa Monica California).
