Smile- It’s Good for Your Health!

Smiling is the fun way to live longer! Smiling is a great way to make yourself stand out while helping your body to function better. Smile to improve your health, your stress level, and your attractiveness…

• Smiling is a Stress Buster! Stress can really show up in our faces. Smiling helps to prevent us from looking tired, worn down, and overwhelmed. When you are stressed, take time to put on a smile. This will reduce your stress levels and you’ll be better able to take action.

• Smiling Lowers Blood Pressure.  Happy people are healthier- because when you smile, there is a measurable reduction in your blood pressure. Give it a try if you have a blood pressure monitor at home and we can guarantee you’ll see a difference.

• Smiling is an Immune Booster. Smiling helps the immune system to work better. When you smile, immune function improves possibly because you are more relaxed. What a fun way to prevent the flu and colds!

• Smiling indirectly helps Weight Loss: because when you are relaxed and happy your body produces less cortisol- the stress hormone that make us hold on to belly fat.

• Smiling Is Attractive.  We are all drawn to people who smile. The subconscious attraction is that we want to know a smiling person and figure out what is so good.

• Smiling is a Mood Changer.   Nexttime you are feeling sad, try putting on a smile. Your mood will change for the better. Smiling can trick the body into helping you change your mood.  As they say… Fake it until you make it!

• Smiling Is Contagious- so the Happiness can Spread. When someone is smiling they lighten up the room, change the moods of others, and make things happier. A smiling person brings happiness with them. Smile lots and you will draw people to you and make them more at ease.

• Smiling Releases Endorphins and Serotonin. Studies have shown that smiling releases endorphins, natural pain killers, and serotonin. Together these three hormones make us feel good. Smiling is a natural drug and an anti-depressant.

• Smiling Makes You Look Youthful.  The muscles we use to smile lift the face, making a person appear younger. Don’t go for a face lift, just try smiling your way through the day — you’ll look younger and feel better.

• Smiling Leads to Success.  Smiling people appear more confident, are more likely to be promoted, and more likely to be approached. Put on a smile at appointments and meeting and take notice to how people react differently to you.

• Smiling Keeps You Positive and Happy.  Here is a test: Smile. Now try to think of something negative without losing the smile. It’s hard. When we smile our body is sending the rest of us a message that “Life is Good!” Stay away from depression, stress and worry by smiling.
