Smile And You'll Lower Your Stress Level
Dear Reader,
Is a smile the new stress fighter? Can this simple gesture have any health related benefits? That may well be the case according to new research from the University of Kansas that's set to appear in the journal Psychological Science. It has been shown that when you smile you relax the face muscles and stimulate part of the brain that brings relaxation and feelings of happiness.
What's more, smiles are contagious, natural and absolutely free. It's hard to be angry when you're smiling.
The team, led by research psychologists Tara Kraft and Sara Pressman, subjected 169 study volunteers (college students) to tasks that were intended to make them anxious. They had to trace a star using the opposite hand while looking at a reflection of that star in a mirror. If this wasn't stressful enough, the researchers also had subjects plunge their hands into icy water. The volunteers were given strict instructions, not to smile, explicitly told to smile, or to hold chopsticks in their mouths to force a smile. The chopsticks were used so the team could see the effect of genuine smiling and more forced, less genuine smiles. Subjects had their heart rate measured and gave self reports of stress levels so the researchers could see just how anxious the participants got during the testing.
The study found that any kind of a smile brought less stress during the tough tasks than those who kept a more neutral facial expression. The levels were especially lowered for those who had genuine smiles, involving the muscles around the mouth and eyes. What this means is that even if you force a smile while doing something stressful you'll get some benefit from a reduced level of stress.

Smile And You'll Lower Your Stress Level Continued...
Over the long haul stress can truly impact both your health and ability to cope with everyday life. Stress pumps adrenaline into the body, moves blood away from the organs and while a natural response to a life threatening event, the body interprets stress (real or imagined) the same way. Long term this can bring on chronic inflammation that is considered the number one factor leading to obesity, diabetes, autoimmune conditions, heart disease, high blood pressure and strokes. The immune system can also be impaired, becoming unable to determine what is a threat, and what isn't.
If you feel overwhelmed and out of control, it's time to put a stop to stress and its hold on you. Here are ways to cope...
· Staying away from drugs/alcohol though they seem like they'll help, in the long run they cause more problems, and only add to stress, instead of taking it away.
· Find a stress management technique (deep breaking, visualization) that works for you and practice. At first it will be tough, and you might feel like you're getting nowhere, but stick with it and you'll find it really, truly works.
· Look for support from a friend, partner, family member or professional counselor as this gives you a sympathetic ear and a place to share you concerns, and will leave you feeling like the load is lighter.
· Stay connected socially and be sure to spend time with those you love, those who support you. Plan fun activities and do things you love.
· Take good care of yourself, eat well, exercise as many days as you can, and be sure to get the true amount of sleep you know your body needs.
· Focus on others, it's a great way to take the focus off your own issues and do something good for someone else. You'll feel better and have channeled your stress into something productive and beneficial.
To your good health,
Kirsten Whittaker
