Let's be honest, most of us smile less often than we visit our ammavan's house for the same old unniyappams. We think of smiling as just for funny jokes or when your neighbour's cat escapes again (which, okay, that can be pretty hilarious, lol). But what if I told you smiling is basically free botox, shhhhh it makes you younger!
Science, that beloved ammavan who always has some wisdom to share, says smiling, even the fake kind, has a bunch of cool benefits. So listen up!
Smiling = Long Life?: Turns out, real, big smiles might be the secret to living forever. Maybe those ammavans and ammayis who grin all the time know something we don't (besides the best ways to bargain at the market).
Smiling Chases Away Stress? Laughter Really Is The Best Medicine!: Feeling stressed? Forget those fancy yoga retreats with chanting goats (although that does sound tempting). Just slap on a smile, even if it feels like you're trying to eat some fish curry without licking your fingers. Your body won't know the difference, and bam! Less stress!
Smiling is like dancing to Velmuruka song - Everyone Joins In!: Ever walk past someone smiling from ear to ear and find yourself smiling like a goofball too? That's science, my friend! Smiles are contagious, so next time you see someone with a face like a bad pickle, flash them those pearly whites. You might just turn their frown upside down.
Smiling Makes You Look Like a Total stud, Boss!: We're programmed to find smiles attractive. It's like nature's way of saying, "Hey, that person probably isn't planning to steal your neyyappams (ifykyk)!" Plus, smiling uses muscles that lift your face, making you look younger than ever. Confuse everyone with your youthful glow (hehe).
Smiling Might Get You Ahead? Happy People = More Likes!: Studies show that people who smile a lot are seen as more confident and chill. So next time you're at a kalyanam or trying to impress your crush, unleash your inner sunny personality.
So there you have it! Smiling is basically a magic trick for your mind and body. It's free, easy, and scientifically proven to make you happier, healthier, and maybe even luckier (okay, maybe not win the lottery, but definitely more fun to be around). So next time you feel like frowning, remember: the perks of smiling and it is the best accessory you can wear. Now go forward and conquer the world, with a big, happy grin!
