A FAKE SMILE:
"Grin and bear it"
isn't such dumb advise after all. Faking a genuine smile-the kind that
crinkles the corners of your eyes eases stress and boosts moods in a
University of Kansas study. Researchers used chopstick placed in the mouths of
the volunteers to create a broad smile,a standard smile,or a neutral face
(that was to hide the reason for the study). Some were also asked to smile.
Then they were all subjected to stressful lab tests such as plugging their
hands into ice water. Smiler,even the ones who faked it,had lower heart rate
afterward, a sign that they weren't stressed out.

little happiness bounce. So say London School of Economics researchers who
tracked the moods of 45,000 people

GETTING OLDER

things we see and hear. The result: Positively prevails. Maybe that's why, in a
recent national survey, 42 per cent
of those over age 50 said they felt
optimistic about life 's next chapters, and 60percent
thought they looked at least five years younger than their driver's
licenses, said they were report. The sadder the plot, the happier
you feel later, they say.
