THE OBSERVATION BOOTH
OP / ED & Photos By: Andrea Dialect
A smile is a facial expression formed primarily by flexing the muscles at the sides of the mouth. Some smiles include a contraction of the muscles at the corner of the eyes, an action known as a Duchenne smile. Among humans, a smile expresses delight, sociability, happiness, joy, or amusement. – Wikipedia
The Muscle Used in Smiling – Zygomaticus Major. Ultimately, your smile type is formed after your facial muscles have identified a pattern and developed a specific shape when you smile. According to researchers, there are three different types of smiles – cuspid, commissure, and complex – Google

It really does take more muscles to frown, about 47 of them. And for smiling, we only use about 13 so they say. But, rumor has it that statement is a bit of a stretch of the truth. And, besides I am a bit curious about how such things are tallied up. Another site that I referenced states that it takes 17 muscles to smile and forty-three to frown. …
The amount of energy that people spend frowning extends far past the muscles it takes to grin. Who knows? But what I do know is whether a person is grinning like a Cheshire cat from ear to ear or that smile is beaming like starlight. Honestly, I love your smile.
On Saturday, I crossed paths with a slew of the ultimate reps which were those that were utilizing less muscle as spreading love at Monte Irvin Orange Park during the House Music Festival. Many of those faces I spotted from miles away and sadly I couldn’t capture them all. I grinned at the sight of them then and I’m cheesin’ hard now. Notably a smile is truly contagious. How beautiful!
DO YA KNOW THAT?
According to the well-known smile expert Ron Gutman, Darwin states that the act of smiling itself actually makes us feel better rather than smiling being merely a result of feeling good. Smiling releases endorphins, natural painkillers, and serotonin, three neurotransmitters that make us feel good from head to toe. These natural chemicals elevate our mood, relax our body and reduce physical pain. Consider smiling a natural drug. Gutman goes on to state that one single smile is as stimulating to our brain as eating 2000 bars of chocolate or winning £16000 pounds. Wow!
The act of smiling actually helps the human immune system to function more effectively both by reducing stress and improving your immune function as a consequence of being relaxed. In today’s world this can only be a good thing. A smile is proven to be contagious whether it is offered to family, friends or even strangers. Finally, and importantly, you can personally reap the benefits of smiling, but you also have the power to affect those around you with the simple act of a smile. – wwwalicemadethis.com
