    Children laugh often and easily. But as we grow up, we laugh less and maybe feel unhappier. Try laughing for no reason at all. That's how thousands of people start their day at Laughter Clubs around the world, and many doctors now think that having a good laugh may be one of the best ways to stay healthy. The first Laughter Club was started in Mumbai, India, in June, 1995 by Dr Madam Kataria. "Young children laugh about 300 times a day. Adults laugh between 7 and 15 times a day," says Dr Kataria, "Everyone's naturally good at laughing. We want people to feel happy with their lives." There are now more than 500 Laughter Clubs in India and over 1,300 all over the world.
