An article titled 'Top 10 Mysteries of the Mind' explains the benefits and some extra information of laughing :

 

Scientists have found that during a good laugh three parts of the brain light up : A thinking part that helps you get the joke, a movement area that tells your muscles to move, and an emotional region that elicits the "giddy" feeling. But it remains unknown why one person laughs at your brother's foolish jokes while another chuckles while watching a horror movie. John Morreall, a pioneer of humor research at the College of William and Mary, has found that laughter is a playful response to incongruities — stories that disobey conventional expectations. Others in the humor field point to laughter as a way of signaling to another person that this action is meant "in fun." One thing is clear : Laughter makes us feel better.

 

From this fact that laughing affects people’s moods positively, another question that most of us did not know - whether laughing it still good not only we truly laugh but also when it's a false laugh - was able to be resolved. The reason why a false laugh still functions positively for human is that laughter itself has a positive energy, regardless of the circumstance one is involved in.

 

As we can find out in the article 'Laughter as Nutrition' (written by Jeff Schweitzer, Scientist and former White House Senior Policy Analyst), humor is an essential part of the human experience. It is possible that humor can often be seen as a prerogative of the privileged. For instance, the poor are difficult to have a sense of humor because of their hard lives. But It is not right. Humor can ease even the greatest suffering. Without the ability to laugh, in the face of tragedy and deprivation, our human experience would be terribly diminished. Therefore, It is possible to get out of sadness quickly when we try to laugh or force a smile.

Whether it is a false laugh or not, laugh is laugh. No matter what kind of laugh is, laughing is good for us.
