Smiling doesn't just feel good - It's also good for you!
Smiling not only connects us to others and gives us a way to express our joy; it also has tons of mental and physical health benefits.
Read on to see how smiling helps to keep you healthy and happy.
Smiling is soothing
Believe it or not, smiling is proven to reduce the stress hormone cortisol. So when you’re struggling with a tough day, putting on a grin can help soothe the mind and boost your mood.
Smiling is contagious
It’s scientifically proven that smiling is contagious – the part of your brain that is responsible for controlling your smiles is prone to mimicking the smiles of those around you.
Smiling is joyful
The act of smiling stimulates neural messages in your brain that trick your body into thinking that you’re on top of the world. The bigger the smile, the more positive you’ll feel.
Smiling is relaxing
Smiling tells your body to release endorphins and serotonin - natural chemicals that improve your mood, help your body to relax and help alleviate physical pain.
Smiling is beautiful
It’s always easier to approach someone with a smile on their face. Smiling enables you to make new connections and communicate better with those around you.
Smiling is mindfulness
Smiling helps bring you to a state of balance that calms the mind, body and soul. And when a smile becomes a laugh, your lungs expand, your muscles stretch, and homeostasis is stimulated.
A big “Thank you”
There are certain people who’ve been doing all they can to keep us safe during a difficult year and allowing us to keep smiling. Thank you to the doctors, nurses, paramedics, firefighters, refuse collectors, supermarket staff, delivery drivers and all the other key workers who have given their time to maintaining our safety.
