Did you know smiling is contagious and can influence the mood of those around us? So, with Valentine’s Day swiftly approaching, we thought now was the perfect time to remind you of all the reasons you should love your smile and what you can do if you lack the confidence to show off your pearly whites.
Reason #1| Smiling can improve your mood
Did you know smiling can trick your brain into thinking you’re happy? A simple smile can spur chemical reactions in your brain to release feel-good, happy hormones like serotonin and dopamine. So, next time you’ve woken up on the wrong side of the bed, try flashing a smile to improve your mood!
Reason #2| Smiling can relieve stress
Smiling can encourage the release of neuropeptides in your body, which are known to combat the symptoms of stress. These chemicals can relax the body and lower heart rates AND blood pressure – now that’s something to smile about!
Reason #3| Smiling is a natural painkiller
Smiling can encourage neurons to signal to your body that you feel happy or excited and subsequently releases feel-good endorphins to flood your system. When triggered, these endorphins may work as natural pain relief!
