On a serious note, being not so serious would help you to avoid seriousness in life and literally that above mentioned seriousness as well (However, there is a way lot seriousness in that sentence). According to some studies, the reason behind this is that laughter actually increases immune cells and those infection-fighting antibodies in the body, thus improving your resistance to disease.

Humor helps you keep a positive, optimistic outlook through difficult situations, disappointments, and loss.More than just a respite from sadness and pain, laughter gives you the courage and strength to find new sources of meaning and hope.
