Did you know that smiling is actually good for you? Not only does it elevate your mood, but it actually lowers your blood pressure and boosts your immune system. Smiling releases endorphins and serotonin (two important hormones for well being on many levels). To put it simply, smiling actually releases your body's own natural pain killers and mood elevators, which are much better for your health than drugs (legal or otherwise). So, c'mon Healthy Chicks®, I know we're all busy, and there's a lot wrong with the world -- but there's always something to smile about! The "side effect" is a free facelift with lots of health benefits! And it can help to cheer up those around us, which is always a nice thing to do! 🙂 -KS
