We all know that laughing is good for health. But I was surprised to read this in the internet about how crying might be good:
Like laughing, crying is stress relieving as the action of crying releases pain-dulling enzymes into the brain.
Once in a while, it is necessary to "exercise" your tear ducts.
Tears from crying, are the body's natural defense mechanism.
It helps to clean the eyes of foreign bodies.
That is why when you have something in your eye, they tear naturally.

Psychologically, crying has an uplifting effect on a person.
It is equivalent to unloading a heavy burden and petting something off your chest.
By the way, movies are good sources for laughing and crying. The most I've seen people cry is while watching the Tamil movie Mahanadhi 1994 (Kamal hassan). I joined the crowd as well and cried a lot! Very touching movie. I thought it was a shame that Kamal hassan didn't get the national award for his role in Mahanadhi.
I would watch a Jim Carrey movie to laugh out loud.! My favorite so far is DUMB AND DUMBER (1994).

In my opinion crying is good, provided it is not emotionally stressful
Is Gansh Venkittu your brother?
should i laugh or cry? or perhaps do both? just kidding! for me laughter is the best medicine, i donot know about others..yes i agree, its pretty interesting to know how crying might help our eyes, but emotionally i wonder how many of us enjoy such an activity.
Venky,
I agree.
Let's not cry emotionally for our Health.!
