If you’ve ever wondered why smiling is beneficial to you, your New Lenox dentist, Atrium Family Dental, is delighted to provide you with the top 5 reasons why smiling is great for you and your health.<\/p>\n

1. Smiling is universal<\/h3>\n

By and large, a smile is a universal sign of happiness. Smiling is one of the first things an infant does and smiling is now a part of our written language :). On top of that, smiling isn’t a uniquely human trait.<\/p>\n

2. Smiling makes you happy<\/h3>\n

The simple act of smiling sends a message to your brain that you’re happy, which results in your brain sending feel-good\u00a0endorphins\u00a0to your body and can actually make you feel happy – even when you don’t.
\n<\/p>\n

3. Smiling improves your appearance<\/h3>\n

Studies have shown that smiling helps others perceive you as more attractive, so show off your smile and use it to make a great impression. If you don’t like smiling, your New Lenox dentist, Atrium Family Dental, can help you fall in love with your smile<\/a>.<\/p>\n

4. Smiling can help with your stress levels<\/h3>\n

Smiling has been shown to reduce anxiety and help manage your stress levels. Smiling can help lower your heart rate, breathing rate and blood pressure. As well, smiling can improve your digestion and regulate your blood sugar level.<\/p>\n

5. Smiling is just a step away from laughter<\/h3>\n

Laughter has been shown to help you burn calories and work your abs as well as improve your immune system and help you skip the flu season altogether. Laughter also improves blood sugar levels and blood flow, and improves your sleep.<\/p>\n
