SMILE


Smile: Feeling good usually makes us smile, but does it works around the person who smile?, Can smile extend our life expectancy?(These are questions for you) Studies confirms that smile  prolong our life but not exactly, it means that smile although false smile make subtances and feelings that helps our body to feel good and if you feel ok or you aren't ill your life must be better and longer. For example, you are a person who do sports eat good and all these things good but if these person doesn't smile it's probably that his/her life will be shorter than a person who make almost all things good and smile.
                                          
Laugh: A good joke or a bad joke, someone who falls down or things that make you laugh. Like I've said in the parragraph before smile helps to live more, but laugh is equal or better than smile, even if you are the person who makes laugh other. Studies affirm that how a person feels when see another laughing because something he/she has done is very good for her/his health because when tha person does it his/her self esteem (autoestima) increase and upgrade. The person who laughs too, of course. it's like smile.
QUESTIONS (also the first one)
Your health improve if you make someone laugh?
Look for or say something that you have seen that make laugh o smile so much that you almost do peeand tell us.
