ENJOY a healthy serving of fun and good vibes this Saturday (Feb. 26) as Imee Marcos gears-up with a brand new Vlog entry that is centered on a cost-free solution to alleviate stress, anxiety, and depression.
As people from all walks of life deal with their everyday concerns, studies show that it is necessary to take the time to loosen-up by balancing their lives with smiles and laughter while appreciating even the smallest blessings that bring happiness.
And while the best recommended treatment for anxiety and depression is to seek medical assistance, a school of thought centered on mental wellness suggests that “life is like a mirror, smile and it smiles back at you.” It is scientifically proven that it takes more muscles to frown than it does to smile.
According to studies, when a person smiles and laughs, the brain releases neuropeptides that help fight off stress while other “feel good” chemicals such as dopamine, serotonin, and endorphins are triggered and produced by the brain as well. Endorphins are considered as a mild pain reliever while serotonin is an antidepressant. To top it all, smiling and laughing gives any person a youthful and natural glow.
“Ngiti ngiti lang pag may time. Walang gastos ang pag-ngiti. Nakaka-feel good ang tawa ng tawa. Ang pag-ngiti ay nakaka-hawa – ito ang nakakahawa na dapat ikalat ngayong pandemya,” says Imee who urges everyone to make smiling and laughing a habit.
