Smile more, Live Longer!

If you knew that by smiling more, you could live longer...Would you do it? In a new study that was published in 2010, researchers analyzed an old issue of the Baseball Register and its 230 players that were featured. They found that, based on average, the players with gleaming grins lived 4.9 years longer than players with only partial smiles and 7 years longer than those who showed no smile at all. Though we know we cannot solely link big, beautiful smiles to a long life span, we do know that a beautiful smile inspires self confidence and increases positive feelings. Moral of the story? Keep Smiling!
