If You Want To Be Healthier Take More Selfies

I was recently at a New York Yankees game, and I couldn't look anywhere with out seeing people taking selfies. Without knowing it, they are happier for it.

I'm not sure people need ANOTHER reason to take annoying selfies nonstop, but here you go.

A new study out of the University of California, Irvine, found that people who take a lot of selfies . . . and then share them with friends . . . become HAPPIER.

There are two reasons.  One, when you take a photo of yourself, you almost always smile.  And the mere ACT of smiling actually makes you a little bit happier . . . even if you're faking it and just giving your picture smile.

Try it.  We'll wait.  See?

And two, the sharing part is key.  Because when you share the photos and get a positive response, that instant gratification puts you in a better mood overall. (UCI)
