806 Health Tip: Even With A Mask On That Smile Is Important
Smiling is an important thing to be able to do. I mean who doesn't want a smiling face greeting you. Even with a mask on people can still tell if you are smiling. It’s just another thing we had to learn in 2020. It doesn't matter if it is at work, school or wherever a smile is one of the most important things to put on in the morning.
A smile is important and here are some things you may not know about smiling.
Did you know that smiling is contagious? That is one thing that you won't mind catching. There has been research done that proving that neurons in your brain have a synchronizing feature. It helps to keep you in sync with people you are talking to. So if you smile then they are more likely to smile too.
A smile has also been proven to make you feel better. A big genuine smile where you end up squinting your eyes can actually boost your immune system. It also decreases coritsol in your body.
A smile can also help get you promoted at work. Studies have been done and show that employers tend to promote people who smile more often. One big reason is that smiling shows your boss that you are easy to work with. Who doesn't want to be known for that?
Smiling can also reduce your blood pressure. When you are smiling it helps to release endorphins and that can lift your mood and lower your blood pressure.
So as you are leaving for work or school everyday make sure that smile is on and ready to go. Even with that mask on we can tell.
