Smiling lowers your blood pressure.
When you smile, there is a measurable reduction in your blood pressure. Give it a try if you have a blood pressure monitor(血压计) at home. Sit for a few minutes and take a reading. Then smile for a minute and read it again while still smiling. 64
Smiling lifts the face and makes you look younger.
