Just Smile

We are all aware of the concept of fake news, but what about the science? Do you ever question the science that comes your way?

I was looking into the research of the neuroscience of the smile. One of the propositions out of this neuroscience was that a smile is equivalent in emotional value to two thousand chocolate bars. Now I don’t know about you, but I would question that straight away.

Very often we need to question what has been presented to us. I like the idea of smiling more often. I do like the idea that if I smile, I live longer, and there is truth in that to a degree. People that smile generally tend to be happier, and happier people tend to live longer. So, whether it is a fact that you live longer because you are smiling more, I don’t know but I do know that when you smile it does activate the circuitry in your body so it helps you to feel good, so there is a lot in it!
