Advances In Dentistry Made Us Love Happiness
Smiles didn't used to be all that pleasant to look at, so, as Stearns points out, "One historian has also noted the 18th century as a time of improved dentistry, when people became more willing to lift their lips in a smile; he argues that the ambivalent smile of a Mona Lisa probably reflected embarrassment at tooth decay."
Exercise Boosts Happiness—In Less Time Than You Think
While the connection between physical and mental health has been well established, it turns out that a little bit of physical activity has a significant, positive impact on one's mental health, and in less time than might otherwise be expected. Researchers have found that exercising just 10 minutes improves a subject's mood, reduces stress, and generally enhances wellbeing.
But Exercising Longer Doesn't Necessarily Improve Happiness
But while some exercise boosts one's mood a bit, a lot of exercise doesn't necessarily boost their mood a lot. The same study tracked the responses of subjects after 30 minutes of exercise and found that there was no marked improvement in their moods over those who exercised just 10 minutes.

Coffee Increases Happiness
Don't listen to those who try to tell you that too much coffee is bad for you. According to a study by Spanish researchers, those who drank two cups of coffee per day were 22 percent less likely to die over the decade they were studied than those who didn't drink coffee. More impressive: Those who drank four cups of coffee were 64 percent less likely to die than the non-coffee drinkers. So warm up that coffeemaker!
Fruits and Vegetables Bring Joy

Happiness Is Rising
An analysis of the average happiness of countries throughout the world found that it's largely on the upswing. Examining the World Database of Happiness, which involve 1531 data points in 67 nations, a pair of researchers determined that "Both GDP and happiness have gone up in most nations, and average happiness has risen more in nations where the economy has grown the most."
Mindfulness Makes Sweets Taste Better
While there's no reason to doubt that chocolate makes a person happy (at least in moderation), that enjoyment can be enhanced by stopping and thinking about the chocolate. That was the finding of a Gettysburg College study in which 258 subjects ate chocolate or crackers and some were asked to think deliberately about what they were eating, focusing on the color, taste and tactile sensations. Those who were more mindful about their chocolate eating reported higher positive moods.
SATURDAY PARTY TIME!
