# Benefits of Smiling
## Elevate Mood
We smile when we are happy, but smiling itself can also make us feel happy. Known as the facial feedback effect, research confirms that even intentional smiling activates neural pathways that improve emotional well-being [1, 2].
## Relieve Stress
Taking a brief break to smile helps decrease stress responses and lower cortisol levels [3], benefiting both you and those around you.
## Boost Immune System & Reduce Pain
Smiling stimulates neurotransmitter release to relax the body and strengthen immune health [4]. It also triggers endorphins—our body’s natural painkillers [5].
# Disclaimer
Although smiling has many scientifically proven benefits for mental and physical health, Egao does not replace regular treatment by a specialized health professional in the case of illness.
