Description
Well, here's a fun fact. Did you know that when you smile, your brain releases tiny molecules called neuropeptides? We've talked about those before. They help fight off stress. And then, other neurotransmitters like dopamine, serotonin, and endorphins come into play. Also, they all play together. These endorphins act as mild pain relievers, whereas serotonin can be an antidepressant. These are the natural health benefits of smiling. I love this idea. Now, this is research on the benefits of smiling, so if you want to look it up, you can do it yourself. Hey, I love you. I'm Dan Clark.
