Well they would generally be fed coarse corn meal boiled, which they referred to as mush. What they were fed was enough to sustain grown men and women through their backbreaking labors in the field.

This what by any means considered a luxury meal and they often grew their own crops and stole just to get a good meal. I believe they were treated that way as a means of showing them how minuscule they were, how they were the equivalent of pigs. A way to establish where they stood and where their master stood, a way to oppress and subjugate them.

Answer:

It is widely known that laughter helps to reduce stress, reduce pain and improve life quality.

Explanation:

Laughter increases well being while reduces stress. A systematic review on five laughter interventions and one humor intervention on older adults showed they can improve well being, though there is more evidence needed (Gonot-Schoupinsky, FN & Garip, G, 2018).

Moreover, laughter and humour interventions have great impact on personal development and self care. A systematic review presented outcomes to believe that these interventions may have better results when they are tailored on specific needs and objectives (Gonot-Schoupinsky, FN, Garip, G Sheffield, D, 2020)

There is also a training called Laughter Yoga which is made of different techniques and excercises. A study showed a positive effect on motor functional and flexibility in people with Parkinson (Akram, K, Nader, R & Ahmad, C, 2013) However, there is a need to keep on studying Laughter Yoga interventions (Bressington, D et al, 2018)

I do hope it will help you in some measure. Regards. <span>
