Knock, knock. Who's there? Longevity and health. The adage about laughter being the best medicine is actually doctor-approved and recommended. Chocked full of mental, emotional and physical benefits, laughing not only makes us feel happy and relaxed, but allows us to live longer, be healthier and provides an edge when battling ailments like mental illness.

(Bonus points if you're a woman, who tend to make audiences laugh 127 percent more than their male counterparts.)

With a seemingly unending list of positive side effects, it's hard to deny the importance of laughter in life.
