When you smile, neural messaging is sent to the brain, which activates your feel-good neurotransmitters dopamine, endorphins and serotonin. These neurotransmitters are very effective in fighting off stress and keeping your body more relaxed, which in turn has been found to lower your blood pressure and heart rate. Additionally, endorphins act as natural pain relief while serotonin is a great way to lift your mood and can even be an effective anti-depressant. Multiple research studies have shown the really awesome fact about smiling is that it has close to the same benefit whether or not the smile comes naturally or is forced. The simple act of smiling is enough for your body to transmit messages to your brain creating both conscious and unconscious impacts.
