Why smile
Laughter is a natural ability of human beings. People are born to laugh. Finnish scientists through a number of experiments and surveys found that people do not need to learn to laugh, just born baby will smile in sleep. But sadness, worry and other negative emotions, as well as the expression of negative emotions crying, are through personal experience, learning slowly in growth. Laughter mobilizes 53 muscles. There are 44 facial expression muscles, which can make more than 5000 expressions by cooperating with blood vessels and bones. Among them, there are 19 kinds of different smiles, each of which uses different facial muscle combinations. Sometimes 53 muscles can be used, sometimes only 5 muscles can be used. Women laugh more than men. Women are usually more likely to laugh than men, and baby girls are also more likely to laugh than baby boys. This is because women's feelings are easily exposed. The survey also found that 69% of people think that women with a smile are more attractive than those with a face of cosmetics.
There are two types of laughter. Although there are 19 kinds of smiles, they can only be classified into two categories. One is social polite smile, which mobilizes less muscles; the other is heartfelt smile, which involves more muscles in both cheeks.
