Most of us would agree with the lyrics of the well-known song, “When you’re smiling, the whole world smiles with you.” But did you know that smiling may also be good for your health? Researchers are finding that smiling slows down the heart rate, reduces stress, and can make you feel happier. In fact, some research suggests that the smile doesn’t even have to be genuine—even a forced smile can have a positive effect on your well-being.2 When you smile, you just feel better.
Casi todos estamos de acuerdo con la letra de una conocida canción que dice: “Cuando sonríes, todo el mundo sonríe contigo”. Pero ¿sabía usted que sonreír también es bueno para la salud? Se ha descubierto que el sonreír aminora el ritmo cardíaco, reduce el estrés y hace que la persona se sienta más feliz. De hecho, se afirma que la sonrisa ni siquiera tiene que ser genuina ya que hasta una forzada puede contribuir a su bienestar. Al sonreír, uno sencillamente se siente major.
Lyrics to the song "Smile" that we might want to teach our Esperanza educators and scholars. :)
Smile though your heart is aching
Smile even though it's breaking
When there are clouds in the sky, you'll get by
If you smile through your fear and sorrow
Smile and maybe tomorrow
You'll see the sun come shining through for you
Light up your face with gladness
Hide every trace of sadness
Although a tear may be ever so near
That's the time you must keep on trying
Smile, what's the use of crying?
You'll find that life is still worthwhile
If you just smile
That's the time you must keep on trying
Smile, what's the use of crying?
You'll find that life is still worthwhile
If you just smile
A "smile" treat with apples, peanut butter, and marshmallows! :)
