Health Benefits of Laughter Is Topic of Next Community Health Presentation

Northern Door Health & Wellness Ministry continues its Community Health Information Programs with an upcoming presentation, “Laughter Is The Best Medicine” on Oct. 22, 4 pm at Sister Bay’s First Baptist Church. The speaker will be Dr. Maria Chona Antonio, M.D., Family and Integrative Medicine. She will share how a good laugh can actually improve health. The sound of laughter draws people together in ways that trigger healthy physical and emotional changes in the body. Laughter can reduce stress, anxiety and depression, strengthen your immune system and diminish pain.

Northern Door Health & Wellness Ministry also offers free blood pressure screenings beginning at 5 pm at the monthly Loaves & Fishes Meal on the fourth Tuesday of each month at St. Rosalia Church, and 8:15 – 10:15 am on the second Tuesday of the month at the YMCA in Fish Creek.
