What are the benefits of smiling?

Answer 1

Firstly and most importantly it improves the overall psychological and mental state of a person. It relaxes some facial muscles and widens blood vessels that help blood flow better and benefit the physical and mental health.
I am sure it also increases one's popularity and thus improves his/her social state.

Answer 2

I am not sure what the benefits are aside from feeling better, but people use more facial muscles when frowning than they do with smiling.

Infer what you will, but I think smiling makes you feel better and will probably cause less wrinkles, unless you don't like laugh lines.

Answer 3

When you smile you feel better then when your frowning. Also when you smile, you could make someone else smile. A smile can be a miracle. You could be walking down the street and you see a stranger; they may be having the worst day and your smile could brighten their day. Amazing something that takes such little effort could change the way you feel and others.

Answer 4

Research has shown that we use fewer muscles to smile than to frown. Also that when we smile we release a chemical that makes us feel better (so if you feel sad, just smile and you'll feel better, though laughing makes you feel even better). And from practical experience, a smiling person is seen as a friendlier person and so approachable, easier to talk with, maybe nicer. An always frowning businessperson isn't going to make customers feel like busying from his/her store.

Answer 5

To see others attempt to mimic you is great. You can worm yourself out of a paper bag if your smile is sincere enough.
You may save another life because of one small gesture.
The greatest reason that I smile is because I am so fat that people look at my smile rather than my stomach.
Gotta love me, I am somebodies grandma who carries a smile always.

Answer 7

Social psychology research bears out that facial expressions do reflect our inner feelings, and changing our facial expression can help to change our feelings too. Behavioral Science studies indicate a high positive correlation between humor and immune system benefits.
