Smile – it's good for you!

Smile – it's good for you! Having a great smile not only boosts your confidence, it can also help you to be happy and healthy. Research has shown that smiling increases levels of the ‘happy hormone’ seratonin, which lifts your mood and can help to improve your health. Smiling also releases endorphins, the body’s natural pain relief hormones – many natural health advisors suggest that chronic pain sufferers should find ways of staying cheerful and happy so they will feel less pain. It can even help you to stay looking young – it uses far less muscles to smile than it does to frown, which means you’re less likely to acquire ageing frown lines!
