• Researchers from University of Missouri - Kansas City (UMKC) recently concluded that smiling can make you look younger. Their research showed that when people smile, others perceive them as more youthful. Another study also showed that college students perceived older individuals who were smiling as younger than their actual age.
• According to Behavioral Psychologist Sarah Stevenson, each time we smile our brain produces the hormones of happiness - dopamine, endorphin, and serotonin. These hormones also serve as natural pain relievers.
