A recent experiment in the UK attempted to discover the world’s funniest jokes. Dr Richard Wiseman from the University of Hertfordshire invited people from all over the world to send in their funniest jokes and rate the jokes sent in by other people. The experiment showed many things about what different nationalities find funny. Many European countries, such as France and Denmark, preferred jokes about things we normally worry about for example, death, illness and marriage. Americans and Canadians liked jokes where someone was better at something than someone else. Germans, in particular, seem to be keen on jokes. Nowadays music, humour and laughing are important and the best medicine for people.

It is widely believed that drinking pure water is useful for health. The more water you drink, the better your skin will look. Also drinking water throughout the day will curb your appetite-making it easier to eat less and lose weight. And I’ve heard that not only water, but also fish, beans and nuts are very good and helpful for our body. This food may also help prevent hair loss.
