Blood pressure was higher among employees who said they "did not understand" what was expected of them. 4. "Responsibility for people" on a job is more likely to lead to heart disease than having responsibility for things. The positive emotions such as hope, faith, love and laughter have a direct effect on your health. Laughter is not only good medicine, it is also good business. Because laughter and play have been shown to relax tense individuals, humor may be the ultimate weapon for combating stress and preventing burnout. What is the purpose of this selection? A) to motivate employers and employees to laugh it up for good health and business B) to describe methods to increase humor in the workplace C) to share a personal experience D) to entertain business people
