A study done to test if listening to music helps cardiac patients came to two conclusions that I think are quite obvious. (It's nice to have one's ideas backed up by science, right?)
- First of all, the study found that music helps us to feel better, and it's not just an emotional response, it's also physical.
- In addition, it was shown that the kind of music that works will be different for different people.
Here's a link to an article (September 1st, 2013 in the Telegraph) about the study, and here's the conclusion:
"Listening to favourite music alone and in addition to regular exercise training improves endothelial function and therefore may be an adjunct method in the rehabilitation of patients with coronary artery disease. There is no 'ideal' music for everybody and patients should choose music which increases positive emotions and makes them happy or relaxed."
What kind of music increases positive emotions for you?
What kind of music makes you happy?
What kind of music relaxes you?
The answers to those questions can help you to keep your heart healthy and strong.
Listen to music that's good for your heart!
