put a smile on your face

When you enter a room with a smile you can boost the general mood, as smiling is contagious. A smile makes you look positive and confident, and naturally more attractive. Smiling is associated with optimism and has great health benefits, and amazingly may help you to live longer. If you are frowning now then replace it with a smile, and your spirits will lift.
A smile requires a facial workout, exercising muscles. This no effort workout will help to prevent saggy and droopy skin. Frowning on the other hand leaves nasty wrinkles on your forehead and droopy chins, which can lead to stress wondering how to afford all those magic serum moisturizers and creams which are meant to remove wrinkles. Those who smile more don’t need to contemplate face lifts.
When you smile it releases endorphins into your body, which act as a natural pain killer. Serotonin is also released into the body when you smile, which aids in transmitting a good mood and reducing stress and depression. When serotonin is moving around in the body it aids in good sleep, so vital for good health.
A Swedish scientific study into the effects of smiling revealed many health benefits. Smiling was shown to boost the immune system, lower blood pressure, reduce stress, and allow the blood to flow more freely. Each of these health benefits help to promote longer life.
Another study carried out on behalf of the British Dental Health Foundation revealed that smiling gives “the same level of stimulation as eating 20,000 chocolate bars or receiving £16,000 in cash.” Eating so much chocolate might make you feel good by releasing endorphins but it would make you fat and nauseous and eat into quite a lot of the £16,000. So much sugar would rot your teeth and thus lead to stress as you contemplate a visit to the dentist. Smiling is free, but the smile would definitely be enhanced if you suddenly received £16,000.
The positive effect of a smile should not be overlooked. Smiling makes you look confident which in turn can lead to more success in life. Appearing enigmatic and sultry could well scare people away, which can be very convenient at times, but a smile works much better for those looking for love. Finding the right love leads to more sex which in turn releases yet more healthy endorphins, and makes you smile even more.
There is another benefit to smiling which you never know when you’ll need. A study showed that guilty criminals in the dock received lighter sentences as they had a more positive effect on the judge than criminals with an unpleasant disposition.
Plaster a smile on your face and take advantage of the amazing health benefits. It will lift your spirits, reduce any stress, and keep you looking younger.
