Smile! You'll Live Longer And Happier

Snowman 4You may not be on candid camera but Smile anyway, but make it a genuine smile.

If you need the 'scientific research', it is available.

The Journal of Personality and Social Psychology found that women who displayed the Duchenne smile in their college yearbook photos had greater levels of well-being and marital satisfaction three decades later. Another study published this year in Psychological Science went further to make a connection between smiles and longevity.

They found that professional baseball players who sported Duchenne smiles (honest smiles) in their yearbook photo were only half as likely to die, in any given year, as those who had not.
