\"\"<\/a><\/strong>Celebrating Women\u2019s month I thought it would be nice to post some easy health-stroke-beauty tips that we can all make use of because we\u2019ve all got mouths!<\/p>\n

Yes\u2014mouths!<\/p>\n

What\u2019s the easiest thing you can go with your mouth \u2013 smile \u2013 right?<\/p>\n

I\u2019m always going on at people to smile at random strangers, but every time you smile, the action of your face muscles smiling causes your brain to trip a little trigger and release chemicals called endorphins.<\/p>\n

In a nutshell, endorphins are the things that make a person happy\u2026 this leads to less stress\u2026 and ooh, let\u2019s think, when you are less stressed you stop scrunching up your face and pow! There go those lines on your forehead. (Of course, they\u2019ll come back again when you stop smiling and start being stressed again, so just keep smiling<\/em>.)<\/p>\n

So\u2026 smiling at random strangers does not only make them feel better, but you are giving yourself a boost too. How cool is that?<\/p>\n

It gets better\u2026<\/p>\n

Endorphins are sneaky little critters, because they are also the body\u2019s natural pain killers. Next time you bash a bit of your body, instead of swearing, yelling and being miserable\u2014LAUGH.<\/p>\n

Laugh long and loud and all those endorphins will be released and that sore bit will feel a lot better, much sooner.<\/p>\n

This works for chronic pain too, believe it or not\u2026 either way \u2013 try it \u2013 you\u2019ve got nothing to lose.<\/p>\n

We all know, from previous experience of having a good belly laugh that you end up gasping and breathing great lung-fulls of air. Well\u2026 that is the same as having exercise! Your lungs expand and the cells in your body get replenished with oxygen \u2013 it\u2019s not rocket science people – makes perfect sense.<\/p>\n

A smiley face is also sooooo much more attractive than a miserable looking one, right?<\/p>\n

Start looking at the funny side of life \u2013 it\u2019s not hard.<\/p>\n
