Laugh and Get Rich Day is celebrated every year on February 8. It is a day dedicated to focusing on laughter's many benefits.

The most significant benefit of laughter is that it improves our health. Laughing can elevate our mood, lower stress, and blood pressure, and strengthen the immune system. In this way, laughter makes us rich because health is wealth, after all! But laughter can also benefit our financial gains by enriching our professional lives. Those who laugh often tend to be happier — happy workers are more productive and are liked by coworkers.

This is part of our Wellness Wednesday feature.
