Smile… a never lasting Smile

Smile…a never lasting smile

A smile can bring you near to me

Smile… a sweet little smile that makes one look much more attractive. One smile gives reason to many others to smile back. Smile not only says ‘I am happy’, but also is a symbol of confidence and positive frame of mind. But did you ever think that smile could have health benefits too?

Did you know that for a smile, twenty-six facial muscles have to work together? This stretching of our facial muscles is like an exercise for our face. As a result our face gets toned and we look young. Similarly there are other benefits too, like:

1-      Immunity booster- Smile, as we have talked before is a sign of positive frame of mind. Therefore, smile gives us new spirit and stamina to fight back. Due to this positive attitude our immunity gets a natural boost from within and our body gets in a better state to protect itself from foreign ailments.

2-      Controls our blood pressure- When we are under stress our heart beat increases noticeably and blood pressure also elevates. A smile works like a magic for our body in such a case and lowers our blood pressure. Our heart beat reduces and we feel much better. Though this may seem a stupid way, as you have to smile for no reason. But if people can drink and smoke to stay calm, then this seems to be a healthy option to try. Isn’t it?

3-      Keeps stress under control- As mentioned in the above point, a smile controls pulsation, thus relaxes our body and brain. It acts like a stress buster and gives our brain some time to relax and act in a better way.  

4-      A natural drug for pain- Smile brings a sudden change in the mood of a person and distracts him from a disturbing thought, uneasiness and pain. This happens because when we smile our body releases certain hormones which act like a drug. Thus when we are in good mood we do not feel the pain which in other circumstances would have been irritating.  

Every smile is a million dollar smile because it enlightens the whole room and gives others positive vibe. Give others a reason to smile and see how people will love to see you and know you. After all, a smiling is always better than a frowning face. And a smiling face can make more friends. Keep smiling J
