Does Frowning Shorten Lifespan?

This post was necessitated by one of my readers who asked a question in the comment section of one of my post on Reasons to Smile More and Frown Less. I have since posted a reply and promise to post a short post on the topic so that other readers who may as well have this kind of question in mind may also benefit.


Does Frowning Shorten Lifespan?
Frowning does no directly cause or shorten lifespan.  But, some of the causes of frowning may lead to shorten lifespan. For instance, someone who smokes is likely going to frown which can cause frown lines to develop on the forehead as well as wrinkles on the skin. This is because smoke causes a drop in the production of collagen and elastin in the body. These two proteins are known to keep our body together. The same person that smokes is likely going to die young. So, cigarette can cause one to frown and can also shortens lifespan.
Another example is stress. Someone who is stressed is likely going to frown. If the stress is not properly managed, over a period, it can become a habit which can shorten a person’s lifespan.
There are few other examples I would have share with you but because I want to make it short, I decided to stop at two.
People do not frown just for the fun of it, if they do, its in few causes and for a short time. They frown because it is being triggered by something else. It is those things most times, if not tackle, that can shorten lifespan not necessary frowning.
