5 reasons smiling is good for your health

  1. Smiling boosts your immune system. Your body relaxes when you smile, and relaxation directly contributes to better health.
  1. Smiling relieves stress. Endorphins are released immediately when you smile – even if the smile is forced.
  1. It’s easier to smile than frown. Science shows that more muscles are used to frown than to smile.
  1. Smiling may lead to a job promotion. People who smile more often are considered more confident which leads to employers thinking you believe in yourself.
  1. Smiling is attractive. Research shows that smiling is considered to improve a woman’s looks a lot more effectively than make-up does.
