One of nature’s greatest assets is the smile. What are the known perks to smiling?
Smiling is more than just attractive. It has such a positive effect on those around you that it has been proven to increase your earning power by as much as 15 percent.
It’s a natural mood enhancer. When you smile, your mind registers the mouth movement as a happy mood indicator, and tends to follow suit. The body tells the mind what to believe sometimes. A smile signals that you’re in a good mood, and soon enough after smiling, you will be!
Finally, smiling is just plain healthy. Studies have found that it can lower blood pressure, boost the immune system, and fight pain and depression.
If you don’t smile as often as you should, don’t feel bad. You’re not alone. A recent survey by AAP reported that 80 percent of people are not happy with their smile. If the reason you don’t smile more is because you don’t like the less than stellar shape your teeth are in, there’s a way to improve your smile:
