Can Smiling Make You Live Longer?

I've searched the world wide web for smile facts you may be interested in...  

According to WebMD, Smiling Makes You Look Younger.
  • Studies show that people think those that smile look younger!  A study showed that when people looked at photos of happy faces, they guessed the age of the person in the photo as younger than in photos of the same person with neutral or angry expression. 
At SparkPeople.comSmiling can make you happy (even when you're not).
  • It turns out that the simple act of smiling sends a message to your brain that you're happy.  And when you're happy, your body pumps out all kinds of feel-good endorphins.
On SeniorLifeHealth.com, Smiling boosts your immune system.
  • Smiling helps your immune system work well. When you smile, immune function improves because you are more relaxed and allow your body to exist in a more positive, stress-free environment. Prevent the flu and colds by smiling more!

Who all agrees with me that

are all great reasons to flash those pearly whites!!
