Smiling More Often Can Help Improve Your Life |
Posted on 4/11/2022 by Todd Jorgenson |
 A beautiful smile is something many people wish they had, especially those with dental issues such as tooth discoloration, misaligned teeth, or missing teeth. Smiling is good for you and the more you do it, the more you can feel it. When you smile, it helps improve your health and makes you happier. Smiling also makes you more attractive. People with dental issues that make them hide their smiles need to see a dentist to address the problems.
Smiling Makes You Healthier
The University of Kansas conducted a study involving people who did stressful tasks. The participants were asked to hold their mouths in different formations with chopsticks. The group that forced themselves to smile often experienced a significant reduction in heart rate. It also had a quicker stress recovery. Smiling also helps reduce stress - a major risk factor for conditions such as heart disease. People who laugh and smile are less likely to suffer from heart disease.
Smiling Makes You Happier
Your body releases endorphins when you are stressed. This natural brain response helps reduce pain and induces the feeling of happiness. The release of endorphins arises from the movement of facial muscles. The brain interprets the facial muscle movements, then, in turn, it releases the brain chemicals. While you may find it hard to believe this, the truth is that smiling influences the brain to make you become happier. By smiling more often, you train your brain to make you happy. It is an effective way of breaking the natural tendency of the brain to think negatively. Smiling often allows you to rewire your brain to create positive patterns in your life more often than negative ones.
Smiling Makes You Attractive
When you smile you look better. Besides, you appear younger because you lift the facial muscles. It is estimated that when you smile you look about 3 years younger than you are.
