Smile Stats to Celebrate Every Birthday

June 14, 2016 By Kim Elmore

Why you should smile on every birthday!

Blow out the candles and light up your smile—we think birthdays are the best. Here are some standout smile facts for birthday milestones: 

• Happy Birthday, Babies!
Smiling starts at birth.

Babies learn a lot of from watching the action around them, but all infants are born with the ability to smile. Even blind babies smile.

• Happy Birthday, 20-Somethings!
Smiling gets you promoted.

Fresh in their careers, 20-somethings are eager to become workforce warriors. And if you’re in your 20s, it pays to sport a smile. Because happiness is strongly correlated with performance and productivity, smiling can help you climb the job ladder, according to Forbes.

• Happy Birthday, Midlifers!
Smiling makes you look younger.

Kick a midlife crisis to the curb and smile! Smiling can make you appear up to 5 years younger. One study showed when people looked at photos of smiling individuals; they estimated a younger age than when they looked at those same people sans smile.

• Happy Birthday, Seniors!
Smiling is your specialty.

Seniors are smiling more because happiness is highest in the golden years. Older Americans express the highest levels of happiness, according to a 2011 study. And if you’re 75 or older, you’re more likely to report your life turned out better than expected.

Celebrate every birthday with a smile! And remember—if you’re sad about turning another year old, force a smile. It can actually make you FEEL happier.
