The health benefits of good pranks and jokes
According to Cleveland Clinic, pranks and jokes provide real health benefits by releasing beneficial chemicals in our brains. When we laugh at pranks, our bodies release oxytocin (the bonding hormone that makes us feel closer to others), dopamine (which creates feelings of pleasure and satisfaction), and endorphins (natural pain relievers that boost mood and confidence). These pranks also help build important social skills like empathy, boundary setting, and teamwork while reducing stress levels and strengthening our immune systems.
