As the saying goes “It takes more muscles to frown than it does to smile”. With that being said, I want to take the opportunity to express how important it is to smile every day. It can communicate feelings such as: love, happiness, pride, contempt, and embarrassment.

Smiling not only makes you stand out, but it also helps your body to function better. Smiling improves your health, your stress level and your attractiveness. You may not know it, but we are drawn to people who smile. We see a person smiling and want to know what is so good.

Smiling makes us feel better. The next time you’re “down in the dumps”, put a smile on and chances are your mood will change for the better.

I believe that yawning is contagious. Smiling is too. When I see someone smiling, they bring a happier mood to the room. Test is for yourself. The next time you go into work, walk around the office with a smile. I bet the people you pass will smile right back at you.

Feeling stressed? Put a smile on. Smiling helps to prevent us from looking tired, worn down and overwhelmed. Boost your immune system with a smile. When you smile, immune function improves possibly because you are more relaxed.

Smiling also lowers your blood pressure, releases endorphins, makes you look younger and helps you stay positive. The next time you feel down or stressed, lift your cheeks and show those pearly whites. Smiling is important.
