Lachen ist f\u00fcr ihn eine \u00abunwillk\u00fcrliche K\u00f6rperreaktion auf eine als angenehm empfundene Emotion\u00bb. F\u00fcr eine kurze Zeit werden wir so vom\u00a0&#8211;\u00a0einer bestimmten T\u00e4tigkeit erl\u00f6st. Lachen an sich hat zwar keinen biologischen Nutzen, ist aber zutiefst menschlich.<\/p>\n<p>Lachen wirkt spontan und chaotisch, ist aber ein \u00e4usserst koordinierter Prozess. Es aktiviert nicht nur im Gesicht verschiedene Muskeln, sondern im ganzen K\u00f6rper \u2013 allein an Zwerchfell und Bauch sind es etwa 80 St\u00fcck. Wer laut lacht, atmet stossweise und schnell aus sowie sehr tief wieder ein. Typisch ist auch die Mimik mit hochgezogenen Mundwinkeln und zusammengekniffenen Augen. Ausdauerndes Lachen kann sogar zu einem Muskelkater f\u00fchren. Und der Volksmund sagt: Lachen ist gesund!\u00a0Dass das nicht nur eine Redensart ist, hat mittlerweile auch die Wissenschaft erkannt.<\/p>\n<p>                Glossar            <\/p>\n<p>\n                    <strong>Die Wissenschaft der Auswirkungen des Lachens<\/strong>\n                <\/p>\n<p> Gelotologie\u00a0besch\u00e4ftigt sich mit den k\u00f6rperlichen und geistigen Auswirkungen des Lachens. 1964 gr\u00fcndete Prof. William Fry das Institut f\u00fcr Humorforschung an der Stanford Universit\u00e4t in Kalifornien. Er fand heraus, dass 20 Sekunden Lachen den K\u00f6rper mindestens genauso fordern wie drei Minuten Joggen. Der Begriff \u00abgelos\u00bb kommt aus dem Griechischen und bedeutet \u00abGel\u00e4chter\u00bb. <\/p>\n<h2>Sauerstoffdusche f\u00fcr den K\u00f6rper<\/h2>\n<p>Ein Lachen aus vollstem Herzen wirkt sich auf den ganzen K\u00f6rper aus. Am st\u00e4rksten intensiviert sich dabei die Atmung. Denn gerade in der Lunge reichert sich das Blut durch den\u00a0starken Gasaustausch mit Sauerstoff\u00a0an. Lachen erh\u00f6ht auch die Verbrennungs-vorg\u00e4nge des K\u00f6rpers, es beeinflusst den Fettstoffwechsel und die Ausscheidung von Cholesterin.<\/p>\n<p>Auch Kohlens\u00e4ure, ein Abfallprodukt dieses Verbrennungsvorgangs, wird bei der Lachatmung komplett ausgesto\u00dfen. Die Vorratsluft, die in den Lungen steckt, entleert sich dabei fast vollst\u00e4ndig. \u00c4hnlich wie beim Husten werden die oberen Luftwege durch starkes Lachen von st\u00f6renden Sekreten befreit. Die tiefe Atmung hat noch einen positiven Nebeneffekt. Dadurch wird etwa dreimal so viel Sauerstoff aufgenommen wie normaler-weise. Zuerst erh\u00f6ht sich der Puls, und der Blutdruck steigt. Nach der Lachattacke verlangsamt sich der Herzschlag aber wieder und bleibt auf einem niedrigen Niveau. \u2028Folge: Die Muskulatur der Arterien entspannt und der Blutdruck sinkt. Wie klinische Untersuchungen zeigen, soll intensives und h\u00e4ufiges Lachen sich auch positiv auf das Herz-Kreislauf-Syste auswirken.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/spital-lachen.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/6e2565020885c4b047d861c2b0bd57725a4c5655-300x158.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"158\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>Lachen aktiviert das Immunsystem<\/h2>\n<p>Sogar unser\u00a0Immunsystem\u00a0kann vom Lachen profitieren.\u00a0Einer Studie aus dem American Journal of the Medical Sciences zufolge\u00a0erh\u00f6hen sich dabei Anzahl und Aktivit\u00e4t einiger Immunzellen\u00a0wie den nat\u00fcrlichen Killerzellen, die infizierte oder entartete Zellen erkennen und zerst\u00f6ren k\u00f6nnen. Auch wurde ein\u00a0Anstieg von Antik\u00f6rpern\u00a0der Immunglobulin-Klasse A beobachtet. Das sind Antik\u00f6rper, die in den Schleimh\u00e4uten im K\u00f6rper (wie Mund, Darm und Lunge) vorkommen und einen Teil der Schutzbarriere gegen eingedrungene Erreger bilden. Selbst das sogenannte Gamma-Interferon, welches die Zellen im Normalfall zur Bek\u00e4mpfung einer Virusinfektion ben\u00f6tigen, ist nach dem Lachen im Blut nachweisbar.<\/p>\n<p>Zudem wurde ein\u00a0Sinken der Stresshormone\u00a0beobachtet. Dazu geh\u00f6rt neben dem Adrenalin auch Kortison. Das k\u00f6nnte eine Erkl\u00e4rung daf\u00fcr sein, warum fr\u00f6hliche Menschen mit einer positiven Einstellung zum Leben seltener unter Krankheiten leiden. Eine Studie, die dies best\u00e4tigen kann, gibt es bisher allerdings noch nicht.<\/p>\n<h2>Lachen als Therapie<\/h2>\n<p>Dass Lachen gl\u00fccklich macht, k\u00f6nnen auch finnische und britische Forscher best\u00e4tigen. \u2028Sie fanden heraus, dass Lachen nicht nur den Lachenden selbst gl\u00fccklich macht sondern \u2028auch die anderen. Denn wer oft lacht, verbreitet Lebensfreude.
