WWW.TFYHALTON .CA Tooth Chatter by ALEX TRENTON DENTURIST WORLDS CHEAPEST STRESSBUSTER - A SMILE! Put on a happy face! An annoying musical adage - or sound medical advice? Score a big grin for science. Research shows that the physical act of smiling - even when you don't feel like it - can measurably reduce stress and improve your mood. Psychologist Paul Ekman of the Human Interaction Lab at the University of California, San Francisco, has discovered that faking a smile produces the same changes in brain activity, respiration, skin temperature, and heart rate as a genuine feel-good smile - and these physical changes promote a sense of well being. Smiling may also boost your mood because it elicits positive responses from people. Faking a smile won't jolt you out of a serious depression, notes Ekman, who has been studying facial expressions for 30 years. But it can lift your mood and help you relax! Creating confident smiles since 1982. Drinking and Driving Can Distort Life.
