Sometimes it’s hard to smile, but when we share a smile with someone it makes us feel so much better! Smiling creates endorphins, the brain’s happiness hormones … and the more we have of those the better! According to the latest scientific research, smiling has loads of benefits:
- Reduces anxiety
- Lowers blood pressure
- Drops heart rate
- Improves mood
- Enhances relationships
- Strengthens immune function
- Relieves pain
And …. drumroll, please…
The happiness a smile brings is equivalent to having 2,000 bars of chocolate!!
You’re welcome.
