Smiling is good for you. Some scientists believe that when you smile, you start chemical changes in your brain that can make you feel happier. Smiling is also good for the people around you. Smiles are ‘contagious’: Like colds and flu, we can pass our smiles on to other people. We will be spreading happiness.
