Smiling can really be the best medicine

Whether you call it a grin, smirk, beam, or smile, there’s no denying the feel-good power of this happy and gorgeous facial expression. We are not actually aware of the health benefits a simple smile can give us. We know it is not always the easiest thing to do, but if you take it upon yourself to show a little teeth you can actually feel much better. 

Smiling not only boosts your mood (and probably somebody else’s too), it sets off tiny molecules called neuropeptides to fight off the stress and even reduce physical tension. Endorphins, dopamine, and serotonin are also released and can act as a mild pain reliever and antidepressant. This can also help trick your brain into creating a positive feeling, so maybe ‘’fake it till you make it’’ is a good option after all. 

Keeping this upbeat thinking can also help fight potentially serious illnesses like heart problems because it strengthens your immune system. One research study even suggests that smiling will help us live longer. Also, smiling through your workouts helps you complete them with better endurance. 

If our teeth have health or cosmetic issues, we will be less likely to smile on a regular basis. This can cause you to feel self-conscious and not obtain the benefits of smiling often. Understanding the benefits of smiling can help you also understand the importance of taking great care of your teeth. Life can be a little hard so make sure to include humor in your daily routine. However, if you suffer from depression or anxiety, or have persistent symptoms, you should contact a healthcare provider.
