New research carried out by Babybel, in collaboration with Comic Relief has revealed that the British Public feels noticeably happier after having a laugh. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Of 2,000 people polled, 54% said they felt more positive after sharing a laugh with a loved one and 55% said they felt happier after giving to charity. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Studies have shown that both giving to charity and sharing a giggle can be proved to reduce stress and promote well-being.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Samir Patel, CEO of Comic Relief, said: \u201cThis Red Nose Day, we\u2019re encouraging people across the country to Do Something Funny for Money, and it\u2019s clear to see from Babybel\u2019s research that having a giggle can be more beneficial than we may realise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Having a laugh, combined with acts of kindness, can make a real difference. Money raised by Red Nose Day could help tackle poverty, mental health problems, homelessness and food poverty, while supporting families affected by conflict and climate change.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
