Some stuff in earlier WAHP episodes hasn’t aged great but the three ex-Gamefan hosts (including @pikoeri and @nickroxnrx) provided perspective and insights on the Japanese game industry and Japanese gaming culture from the now-distant years of 2010-2012 that I hadn’t heard elsewhere.

Of Late, while watching a commercial that lays emphasis on taking fun seriously,  I instantly grew intrigued by the notion of having the regular dose of #Fun and taking it quite seriously in our stressful life. In general, Fun is the ability to let your hair down, forget everything and relax. In simple words, letting go of your problems and worries!

But why it's all important to take ‘Fun’ seriously?

Such questions make us inquisitive and often push us to dig out more and more about them.

Some astounding researches about the need to celebrate life and having fun reveal that people who cultivate a daily attitude of celebration and gratitude have more energy, less stress, and anxiety, are more likely to help others, exercise more frequently, sleep better, have improved physical health(Dr. Robert A. Emmons and Dr. Michael McCullough, the University of California Davis and University of Miami, respectively).  During fun activities, we release neurotransmitters called dopamine and serotonin. Dopamine makes you more excitable and talkative whereas serotonin helps regulate mood and social behavior, appetite and digestion, sleep, memory, and sexual desire and function. Both of those chemicals ensure that your brain is healthy.

So the science behind having Fun, Celebrations and Recreational activities prove these activities are must for our well-being, at both,  physical and psychological level.

Well...sounds convincing enough to have #Fun!!!.
