Smile!+It's+a+free+therapy

How much have you spent on psychologists, face creams or medicines for pain? Now, you may get the same results for free. According to recent research we can find the effects of visiting a psychologist, using a corporal cream or reduce our pain in ourselves, in our smile. The smile capacity is in the most developed region of our brain, where creativity lies, the capacity of thinking about the future and the ethics. When we smile our body produces endorphins which are very similar to the morphine and can soothe the pain, send messages in order to fight viruses and bacteria and help to find a mental balance. So learning to smile is more important than it seems. Some effects of the smile are stated below: - __Exercise__: 400 muscles work and some of them exercise with the smile only - __Oxygenation__: the quantity of O 2 in our lungs is doubled so our skin is more oxygenated - __Painkilling__ - __Rejuvenating__: the face muscles stretch so we have fewer wrinkles - __Prevent heart attack__ - __Help you to sleep__ - __Get rid of the stress__ - __Reduce depression, etc__. This kind of therapy has spread all over the world and has been used by doctors to improve their patients´ health: at hospitals, in old people's homes, with disabled people...But currently it is used with healthy people to improve their quality of life and many centers have been set up to teach this new therapy. Take advantage of these!!! **(Marina Jiménez, I2)**
