This will also benefit your career; build healthy relationships with colleagues and favorable impression on your employers.

4. Smiling Is Beneficial For Health

(i) Elevates Your Mood

When you smile, there is movement of muscles in your face, which is interpreted by your brain, which in turn releases the chemicals endorphins. These endorphins are responsible for making you feel happy. While the release of endorphins is increased, the stress hormone cortisol is reduced. Cortisol is more active when we feel stressed and contributes to the unpleasant feelings we experience, and by lowering it we can reduce these negative feelings. The more you stimulate your brain to release this chemical the more often you feel happier and relaxed.

(ii) Relieves Your Stress

Stress has entered in everyone's life in one or other form. It is often seen that students get stress due to examinations, corporate employees get stress due to assigned targets, some get stress due financial constraints, and so on. The signs of stress show up on faces. Smiling prevents you from looking tired and can actually help reduce stress. Believe it or not, smiling can reduce stress even if you don't feel like smiling but you smile. When you are stressed, take the time to put on a smile. You and those around you will reap the benefits.

(iii) Lowers Your Blood Pressure

You may have heard that many people join laughing clubs as doctors quote 'Laughter is the Best medicine'. Science says laughing expands the lungs, stretches the muscles in the body and stimulates homeostasis. As a result, it lowers the blood pressure.

(iv) Boosts Your Immune System

Smiling can also boost your overall health. The act of smiling actually helps the human immune system to function more effectively. It is thought that when you smile, immune function improves because you are more relaxed (thanks to the release of certain neurotransmitters). In addition to taking precautions like washing your hands, why not try to prevent the cold and flu by smiling?
