whenever you feel in the dumps as the saying goes, have a good laugh now and then helps you feel a little bit better. But if you are feeling sick I doubt that smiling would make you feel better. Whenever I feel sick I just stay in bed until I feel well enough to get out of bed and I can smile, not grin because you are only putting on a front.

It's good for you ...
It's official: instead of maintaining a composed and passive countenance, British people are smiling more, which has to be good news all round. Here are some simple tips on how to make the most of your smile, and the benefits you can feel from smiling.
Smiling is good for you n how..?
In most animals, baring teeth is a sign of threat or submission. However in humans, smiling shows a range of more positive emotions such as happiness and friendliness. Smiles can be forced, for example if we have to pose for a photograph or deal with someone we don't like. And, we don't just smile with our mouths; bright eyes are an important feature as well as the rest of our facial expressions (in fact we use a total of 17 muscles to smile!).
Smiling isn't something we learn in the way that we learn to read and write (just look at how a baby smiles and laughs), it is pre-programmed behaviour with which we are born.
Smiling and laughing are just two of several stimuli, including stress, aerobic exercise and meditation, which make our brains produce endorphins. Endorphins are substances that are important for pain control, and can give us a sense of pleasure, peace and well-being. As BUPA psychiatrist, Dr Sally Cubbin, says 'Smiling has a positive and beneficial effect, not only on the person who is smiling but also on others around. It's hard not to respond positively to someone who is smiling.'
It's almost impossible to gauge someone's emotions when you use the internet and email to communicate, and the written word is notoriously easy to misinterpret. This is why some people use smileys (emoticons) to help get their message across. Tilt your head to the left to read these commonly used ones:

Yes, keep your thoughts positive and healthy. Hard to be in a bad mood or grumpy when smiling. Mental health plays a huge role on physical health as well.

smiling is healthy, and so is laughing. People that r happy all the time and stay positive are usually healthier then those who r not.

Yeah, smiling is better for you than frowning because it only takes 2 muscles to make a smile, and it takes 100 to frown. It's healthy because it keeps you looking younger too. You don't want wrinkles....so use less muscles and smile! :-)
