Hello everyone and welcome back to the 00:04
Simple English podcast. I'm your host 00:06
Lisa and today we're diving into 00:09
something super easy, something you do 00:11
every single day, but something that has 00:14
a surprisingly big impact on your life. 00:16
Smiling. Think about it. When you see 00:19
someone smiling at you, what's the first 00:21
thing you feel? Probably something 00:23
positive, right? Maybe a little bit 00:25
happier, a little more at ease. 00:27
Well, it turns out that smile isn't just 00:30
making you feel good, it's also doing 00:32
wonders for the person who's doing the 00:34
smiling. And today I'm thrilled to have 00:36
with me our wonderful guest Sarah, who 00:39
knows a lot about this topic. Hi, Sarah. 00:41
Hi, Lisa. Thanks for having me. I'm 00:45
excited to talk about something so 00:47
simple yet so powerful. 00:49
Exactly. Now, before we jump in, let's 00:52
do a quick thought experiment. Imagine 00:54
you're walking down the street, maybe 00:57
feeling a little bit down. Then someone 00:58
walks past you and gives you a genuine 01:01
warm smile. How does that make you feel 01:03
even just for a moment? Oh, definitely 01:05
better. It's like a little burst of 01:08
sunshine. It can totally change your 01:10
mood, even if it's just a small change. 01:12
Absolutely. And that's just the tip of 01:15
the iceberg. So stick around because in 01:17
today's episode, we're going to explore 01:20
exactly how smiling more can improve 01:22
your mood and your overall health. You 01:24
might be surprised by what we discover. 01:28
As always, don't forget to check out the 01:30
free PDF file in the comment section 01:32
below to get the full transcript and 01:34
vocabulary for this 01:36
[Music] 01:38
episode. All right, Sarah, let's get 01:42
into the nitty-gritty. How exactly does 01:44
smiling more improve our mood? What's 01:47
the science behind it? Well, Lisa, it's 01:49
quite fascinating. When you smile, even 01:53
if you don't feel particularly happy, 01:56
your brain releases these chemicals 01:58
called endorphins. Think of endorphins 01:59
as natural mood boosters and pain 02:02
relievers. They're the same chemicals 02:04
that get released when you exercise, for 02:06
example. That's why sometimes after a 02:08
good workout, you feel that sense of 02:10
happiness and well-being. Smiling 02:12
triggers a similar response. That's so 02:14
interesting. So even if I'm having a bad 02:17
day and I force myself to smile, my 02:20
brain will still get that little happy 02:22
boost. Exactly. It's like a little trick 02:24
you can play on your brain. Sometimes 02:27
your emotions can follow your physical 02:29
expressions. So the act of smiling can 02:31
actually lead to feeling happier. Have 02:34
you ever noticed that when you're 02:36
talking on the phone and you smile, even 02:37
though the other person can't see you, 02:39
your voice sounds warmer and more 02:41
friendly? 02:42
Oh, yes. I've definitely experienced 02:44
that. It's almost like the smile changes 02:46
my own attitude while I'm speaking. 02:49
Precisely. And it's not just about our 02:52
internal mood. Smiling also has a big 02:54
impact on how others perceive us. People 02:57
tend to see those who smile as more 03:00
approachable, friendly, and even 03:02
trustworthy. 03:03
That makes total sense. If I see two 03:05
people, one with a frown and one with a 03:08
smile, I'm much more likely to go and 03:11
ask the smiling person for 03:13
help, right? It creates a more positive 03:15
social interaction. And these positive 03:18
social interactions can further boost 03:21
our mood and reduce feelings of stress 03:23
and loneliness. It's like a positive 03:24
cycle. You smile, others respond 03:27
positively, and you feel even better. 03:30
So, it's not just about feeling good 03:34
internally. It also helps us connect 03:36
with others better, which in turn makes 03:38
us feel even happier. It's like a 03:40
win-win 03:42
situation. Now, you mentioned health 03:44
benefits as well. How does smiling 03:46
impact our physical 03:49
health? Well, Lisa, the benefits extend 03:50
beyond just our mood. Studies have shown 03:54
that smiling can actually lower your 03:56
stress levels. When you're stressed, 03:58
your body releases cortisol, a stress 04:01
hormone. Smiling can help to reduce the 04:04
levels of cortisol in your body. Wow, 04:06
that's amazing. So, instead of getting 04:09
stressed about something, maybe just 04:12
forcing a smile could actually help. It 04:13
can definitely be a useful tool. And 04:16
lower stress levels have a cascade of 04:19
positive effects on your health, 04:21
including potentially improving your 04:23
immune system. Some research suggests 04:25
that positive emotions like those 04:27
triggered by smiling can strengthen your 04:29
body's ability to fight off 04:32
illness. That's incredible. So, smiling 04:33
might actually help us stay healthier. 04:37
It seems so. And there's even evidence 04:40
suggesting that smiling can slightly 04:43
lower your blood pressure. When you 04:44
smile, it can lead to a feeling of 04:47
relaxation, which can have a positive 04:49
impact on your cardiovascular health. 04:51
This is all so fascinating, Sarah. It's 04:53
amazing how such a simple action can 04:56
have so many benefits for both our 04:58
mental and physical 05:00
[Music] 05:03
well-being. Okay, Sarah, before we wrap 05:07
up the main discussion, do you have a 05:10
fun fact about smiling that our audience 05:12
might find interesting? 05:14
I do. Did you know that it takes fewer 05:17
muscles to smile than it does to frown? 05:19
Really? I've heard that before. But is 05:23
it actually true? 05:25
It is. While the exact number of muscles 05:27
involved can vary slightly depending on 05:30
the study, it generally takes more 05:32
muscles to make a frowning expression 05:34
than it does to smile. So, not only does 05:36
smiling make you feel better, it's also 05:40
more 05:42
energyefficient. That's a great fun 05:43
fact. So, if you're feeling down, 05:46
remember it's literally easier to smile 05:48
than to frown. Plus, you get all those 05:50
amazing mood and health benefits we just 05:53
talked 05:55
[Music] 05:56
about. Well, Sarah, this has been so 05:59
insightful. Thank you so much for 06:02
sharing all this valuable information 06:04
with us today. My pleasure, Lisa. It was 06:06
great being here. So, to all our 06:09
listeners and viewers out there, the 06:11
message is clear. Smile more. It's a 06:13
simple yet incredibly powerful tool that 06:17
can significantly improve your mood, 06:20
reduce your stress levels, potentially 06:22
boost your immune system, and even make 06:24
you appear more approachable to 06:26
others. Whether you're feeling happy, 06:29
sad, or just neutral, try making a 06:31
conscious effort to smile more 06:34
throughout your day. Smile at the 06:35
cashier at the grocery store. Smile at 06:38
your colleagues. Smile at your family 06:40
and friends. and even smile at yourself 06:43
in the mirror. You might be surprised by 06:45
the positive ripple effect it 06:48
creates. And remember that little 06:51
thought experiment we did at the 06:53
beginning. Be that person who offers a 06:55
smile to someone else. You never know 06:58
what kind of impact that small gesture 07:01
might have on their 07:03
day. Thank you so much for tuning in to 07:04
the Simple English podcast. We'll be 07:07
back next week with another interesting 07:10
topic to help you improve your English 07:11
and learn something new. Until then, 07:14
keep 07:16
[Music] 07:17
smiling. Okay, everyone, it's time to 07:20
learn some important vocabulary related 07:23
to the topic. The first word of today is 07:25
endorphin. It means a chemical produced 07:29
by the brain that helps relieve pain and 07:32
boost happiness. Example, exercise and 07:34
smiling both trigger the release of 07:38
endorphins, making you feel happier and 07:40
more relaxed. Next word is approachable. 07:43
It means friendly and easy to talk to. 07:47
Example, people who smile often appear 07:50
more approachable and welcoming to 07:52
others. Next word is perceive. It means 07:55
to notice or interpret something in a 07:59
certain way. 08:02
Example, smiling can influence how 08:04
others perceive you, making you seem 08:07
more friendly and 08:09
trustworthy. Next word is cortisol. It 08:10
means a hormone released in response to 08:15
stress that can affect health negatively 08:17
if levels are too high. Example, smiling 08:19
has been shown to reduce cortisol 08:23
levels, helping to lower stress and 08:25
anxiety. The last word is well-being. It 08:28
means the state of being comfortable, 08:31
healthy, or happy. Example, a simple 08:34
smile can contribute to your overall 08:37
well-being by improving your mood and 08:39
reducing stress. 08:41

大家好,欢迎回到
简易英语播客。我是主持人
Lisa,今天我们要探讨一个
超级简单,每天都在做的事情,
但它对你的生活有着
出人意料的巨大影响。
微笑。想想看。当你看到
有人对你微笑时,你的第一
感觉是什么?可能是一些
积极的东西,对吧?也许会
更开心一点,更放松一点。
其实,微笑不仅仅是
让你感觉良好,它也对
微笑的人产生了奇妙的作用。
今天我很高兴邀请到
我们的嘉宾Sarah,她对这个话题
了解很多。你好,Sarah。
你好,Lisa。谢谢邀请。我
很高兴能谈论如此
简单但又如此强大的事情。
没错。在我们深入探讨之前,我们
做一个快速的思维实验。想象一下
你走在街上,可能
感觉有点沮丧。然后有人
从你身边走过,给你一个真诚的
温暖的微笑。这会让你感觉如何,
哪怕只是一瞬间?哦,绝对
会好很多。就像一缕阳光。
它可以完全改变你的
心情,即使只是一个小小的改变。
没错。而这仅仅是冰山一角。
所以请继续关注,因为在
今天的节目中,我们将探讨
微笑如何能改善
你的情绪和整体健康。你
可能会对我们发现的东西感到惊讶。
和往常一样,别忘了查看
评论区中的免费PDF文件,
获取完整的文本和
本集节目的
[音乐]
词汇。好的,Sarah,让我们开始
深入讨论。微笑是如何改善
我们的情绪的?这背后的
科学原理是什么?Lisa,
这非常有趣。当你微笑时,即使
你感觉不是特别开心,
你的大脑也会释放一种叫做
内啡肽的化学物质。把内啡肽
想象成天然的情绪助推器和止痛药。
它们和你运动时
释放的化学物质一样,
比如。这就是为什么有时
在一次好的锻炼后,你会感到
快乐和幸福。微笑
会触发类似的反应。
太有趣了。所以即使我今天心情不好,
强迫自己微笑,我的
大脑仍然会得到一点快乐的
提升。完全正确。这就像一个
你可以对大脑玩的小技巧。有时
你的情绪会跟随你的
身体表达。所以微笑的动作
实际上可以让你感觉更快乐。
你有没有注意到,当你
在打电话时微笑,即使
对方看不到你,你的
声音听起来更温暖,更
友善?
哦,是的。我绝对有这种
经历。这几乎就像微笑改变了
我在说话时的态度。
正是如此。而且这不仅仅关系到
我们的内在情绪。微笑也对
别人如何看待我们有很大的影响。
人们倾向于认为微笑的人
更平易近人、友好,甚至
值得信赖。
完全有道理。如果我看到两个人,
一个皱着眉头,一个带着
微笑,我更可能去
找微笑的人寻求
帮助,对吧?这创造了一个更积极的
社交互动。这些积极的
社交互动可以进一步提升
我们的情绪,减少压力感
和孤独感。这是一个积极的
循环。你微笑,别人做出
积极回应,你感觉更好。
所以,这不仅仅是感觉良好
在内心。它也有助于我们更好地
与他人联系,这反过来
让我们感觉更快乐。这是一个
双赢的
局面。现在,你提到了
健康益处。微笑如何
影响我们的身体
健康?Lisa,益处
不仅仅是我们的情绪。研究表明
微笑实际上可以降低你的
压力水平。当你感到压力时,
你的身体会释放皮质醇,一种
压力荷尔蒙。微笑可以帮助降低
你体内的皮质醇水平。哇,
太神奇了。所以,与其
为某事感到压力,也许只要
强迫自己微笑就可以有所帮助。
这绝对是一个有用的工具。而且
降低压力水平会对你的健康产生
一连串的积极影响,
包括可能改善你的
免疫系统。一些研究表明
微笑等积极情绪可以增强
你的身体抵抗
疾病的能力。太不可思议了。
illness. That's incredible. So, smiling
所以,微笑实际上可能帮助我们
好像是这样。甚至有证据
表明微笑可以稍微
降低你的血压。当你
微笑时,它会导致一种
放松的感觉,这对你的
心血管健康有积极影响。
这一切都太迷人了,Sarah。
如此简单的动作竟然能为
我们的精神和身体带来如此多的益处,真是太神奇了。
mental and physical
[音乐]
好的,Sarah,在我们结束
主要讨论之前,你有没有关于
微笑的趣闻,我们的听众
可能会觉得有趣?
我有的。你知道微笑比皱眉
用的肌肉更少吗?
真的吗?我以前听说过。但这
是真的吗?
是的。虽然涉及的确切肌肉数量
可能会因研究而略有不同,
但通常做出皱眉表情
比微笑需要更多的肌肉。
所以,微笑不仅能让你感觉更好,
而且更
节能。
energyefficient. That's a great fun
真是个有趣的趣闻。所以,如果
你感觉情绪低落,记住
微笑比皱眉更容易。
而且,你还能获得我们刚才讨论的
所有那些惊人的情绪和健康益处。
[音乐]
好的,Sarah,这次谈话太
有启发性了。非常感谢你
今天和我们分享所有这些宝贵的
不客气,Lisa。我很高兴
能来到这里。所以,对于我们所有
的听众和观众们,信息
很明确。多微笑。这是一种
简单但又非常强大的工具,
可以显著改善你的情绪,
降低你的压力水平,
可能增强你的免疫系统,甚至
让你看起来更平易近人。
无论你感觉快乐、
悲伤,还是只是平静,
都要有意识地努力多微笑。
throughout your day. Smile at the
对杂货店的收银员微笑。
对你的同事微笑。对你的家人
和朋友微笑,甚至对着
镜子里的自己微笑。你可能会对它
产生的积极连锁反应感到惊讶。
creates. And remember that little
记住我们在开始时做的那个
思维实验。成为那个向别人
微笑的人。你永远不知道
这个小小的举动会对
他们的
非常感谢您收听简易英语
播客。我们下周将
带来另一个有趣的话题,
帮助你提高英语,
学习新知识。在那之前,
保持微笑!
[音乐]
好了,大家,现在是学习
一些与本期主题相关的
重要词汇的时候了。今天的第一个词是
内啡肽。它的意思是
大脑产生的一种化学物质,
例如,运动和微笑都会
触发内啡肽的释放,使你
感到更快乐和放松。
下一个词是平易近人。
它的意思是友好且容易交谈。
例如,经常微笑的人
看起来更平易近人,更受欢迎。
下一个词是感知。它的意思是
以某种方式注意到或理解某事。
certain way.
例如,微笑会影响
别人对你的看法,让你看起来
更友好和值得信赖。
下一个词是皮质醇。它的意思是
一种因应压力而释放的荷尔蒙,
如果水平过高,会对健康产生负面影响。
例如,微笑已被证明
可以降低皮质醇水平,
有助于降低压力和焦虑。
最后一个词是幸福感。它的意思是
感到舒适、健康或快乐的状态。
例如,一个简单的微笑
可以通过改善你的情绪和
减少压力来促进你的整体幸福感。
