A smile is the most easily recognizable facial emotion. Smile triggers certain processes in the human brain, activating the connection "brain-body". This occurs in the left frontal lobe, which is responsible for the emotions of happiness. So useful than a smile?

  1. A smile makes us happy (even in a bad mood). Remember the brain-body connection? Now, an ordinary smile sends a signal to the brain that we are happy. And when we are happy, the body begins to produce various kinds of endorphins that lift the mood. This principle was discovered in the 1980s and confirmed by a number of studies. But research shows the downside: frowning makes people unhappy.
  2. A smile makes people around you happy.
    A smile is contagious. Studies show that it is enough to see a smiling friend or girlfriend, and a person involuntarily begins to do the same. Funny, isn't it? When someone smiles, he infects the good mood of other people. Smiling person brings happiness.
  3. Smiling makes us more attractive.
    We pay attention to people who smile. There is an attraction factor: we want to know who is smiling and why. Frowns and grimaces repel people, and a smile attracts. A charming smile makes a person more attractive in the eyes of the opposite sex. So, next time you make a date, don't forget to smile. This will make your "half" happier, and you-more attractive.
  4. Smiling helps relieve stress.
    Smile helps to get rid of fatigue, wear and congestion. A smile can reduce anxiety. When signals that we are happy (even if they are not ... at the moment) reach the brain, the body tends to reduce the rate of breathing and heart rate. Reducing stress is very beneficial for health in General, as a result of reduced blood pressure, improved digestion and normalized blood sugar levels.
