7 minutes of smiling a day sounds like a very easy challenge to face, but you will be surprised to find that many of us do not even hold 5. This is how it is when we are immersed in work and household chores and exposed to the news all day.
Apart from a small and fake smile to the person walking in front of us in the hallway - there are days when we do not find a reason to smile.
But it's time to change the situation: Dental expert Dr. Khaled Qassem recommends smiling even if there is no reason to and even if you do not feel your best. He claims that a 7 minute smile a day is effective for oral health and brings with it a variety of potential health benefits.

Dr. Khaled Qassem, chief orthodontist at the Impress Orthodontic Clinic ("Impress") argues that we should strive to smile for at least seven minutes a day and explained to the Mirror: "The main benefit of a smile is that it reduces stress.
"Our mouths are damaged by more stress than we think, as the extra tension on the muscles can lead to involuntary tightening or gnashing of teeth, leaving us with jaw problems and a whole host of other problems."
A smile, according to the doctor, increases endorphin release and lowers cortisol levels. A smile under pressure can also lead to stress reduction and a better feeling. He also noted that a smile can have potential immune benefits: "The smile can lead to the release of dopamine and thus increase the antibody production of the immune system."
Dr. Qassem added that a smile - and especially a laugh - can lower your heart rate and respiration, hence your blood pressure. He also claims that many studies have linked poor oral health to hypertension. He concluded: "Smile 7 minutes a day and it will do. The change.
However, more needs to be done to take care of your oral health, such as brushing your teeth and flossing daily. "
