The weekend is here - smile!!!


Did you know that smiling and laughing is good for you ...

A lonely person is likely to die five years younger than one with plenty of friends

Scientists say that having friends around in old age can do more for life expectancy than having family members around. The benefits might be due to the fact that people an choose their friends, as opposed to family members!

Laughter increases our capacity to fight disease. It relaxes the body and reduces problems linked to high blood pressure, strokes, arthritis and ulcers

A belly laugh exercises the abs and shoulders and even gives the heart a workout. Laughter can also take your mind off anger, guilt and stress!

Do you need any more reasons - plus its the WEEKEND!
