Smile! It's good for you ;-)

According to all sources, cardiovascular diseases remain the biggest cause of death globally, which fit well with our 21st century lifestyle that leave us with hardly any time for fun and games, and push our stress level to breakpoint.

It is with exactly this in mind that happiness is becoming more and more important in all aspects of our life. We have always suspected that being happy is good for your health, but with the latest research providing conclusive proof of the benefits it holds, and recent scientific evidence that happiness is no more than a choice, I'd say there is nothing to do but to smile!

  1. There has recently been a study that shows that not just feeling good, but giving stuff to others, also makes you feel good "biochemically".

    From the article:

    Generosity Might Keep Us Healthy:
    Psychologist Liz Dunn spoke with us from the PopTech conference in Camden, Maine, about the link between greed and long-term health.
