There’s a growing body of research showing that music, alone or in combination with other therapies, can significantly improve a number of health conditions.
Music plays an important role in our lives. We listen to it in our cars, on the subway, at the gym, and sometimes during meals. For many of us, it’s an integral part of our daily routines.
We all know from our own personal experience how it affects our mood. Depending upon what type we are listening to, it can make us happy and upbeat, sad and reminiscent, or simply relaxed. Think about it—I bet you change what you listen to based on how you’re feeling . I always seem to be in traffic jams, so for me, listening to classical music helps keep me calm while snarled on my way to/from work.
It can keep us calm or rev us up, but can listening to music actually improve your health? There’s a growing body of research showing that music, alone or in combination with other therapies, can significantly improve various health conditions.Numerous imaging studies such as functional MRIs have shown that while we’re listening to music, our brain releases certain neurotransmitters such as dopamine, norepinephrine, and serotonin.
We are only beginning to understand the impact it can have on your health – but what we know so far is exciting. You might want to talk to your doctor or therapist about including music in your treatment regimen.
