Add Years to Your Life
With a Smile
Researchers have shown that this one thing can add years to a person’s life. It can even predict how fulfilling their marriage will be. What is this magic activity?
A smile.
If you’re feeling sick, smiling can make you feel better.
- Research from 2009 shows that when you smile, you activate your brain’s “happiness” circuits. Smiling is a switch that turns on “happy” even if you’re in a bad mood.
- Other researchers measured the smiles of players on Major League Baseball cards from 1952. Players that smiled for their picture lived seven years longer than players who didn’t smile.
How many times in a day do people smile?
How many times a day do you smile?
I feel bad for the people who smile only 5 times a day. But I'm smiling now, so I feel better. I hope I'm closer to the children category.
If smiling can change my mood, I wonder how much better life is when God smiles on us.
‘May the Lord bless you
and protect you.
May the Lord smile on you
and be gracious to you.
May the Lord show you his favor
and give you his peace.’ (Num 6:24-26, NLT)
Happy Thanksgiving!
