With Covid lockdown bringing us all down it’s important to try to keep your spirits high to help your physical and mental health! Whether you’re feeling down, stressed or just need a mood boost, there is scientific evidence of the benefits of smiling can actually make you feel better in more ways than one.
Sydney Dental Aesthetics & Implants in Martin Place in Sydney CBD genuinely care about you and your smile, and we thought we’d take this opportunity to share with you some of the benefits of smiling and how flashing your pearly whites can help you especially during this challenging time!
The Benefits of Smiling
Relieves Stress
Your body immediately releases endorphins when you smile, even when you force it. This sudden change in mood will help you feel better and release stress.
Boosts your mood
Simulating a genuine smile can boost your mood. Psychologists have found that even if you’re in bad mood, you can instantly lift your spirits by simulating (not fake but choose to engage in) a genuine smile.
Helps your immune system
Smiling also strengthens your immune system. Your body is more relaxed when you smile, which contributes to good health and a stronger immune system.
Helps you get promoted
Smiling make a person seem more attractive, sociable, and confident, and people who smile more are more likely to get a promotion.
Better than makeup
A research study conducted discovered that 69% of people find women more attractive when they smile than when they are wearing makeup.
They are contagious
It’s not just a saying, smiling really is contagious. In a study conducted in Sweden, people had difficulty frowning when they looked at other subjects who were smiling, and their muscles twitched into smiles all on their own.
Smiling is a universal sign of happiness
While handshakes, hugs, and bows all have varying meanings across cultures, smiling is known around the world and in all cultures as a sign of happiness and acceptance.
Covid may have taken away handshakes and hugs, but it can’t take away our smiles! It’s beneficial for your mind, body, and overall well-being. So, if you’re feeling blue, crack a little smile even if you don’t feel like it, we promise it’ll make you feel just a little bit better.
