Question

Hey is singing related to health? I think it is but i don't have specific information. . .

Answer 1

studies have found that making music--singing or playing an instrument--can benefit seniors by reducing the risk of dementia as well as lessening the pain and stiffness of ailments such as arthritis. In fact, it's the multiple dimensions of music making--combining intellectual, physical, and social aspects--that appear to set it apart from other cognitively stimulating activities--like crossword puzzles, for instance--and that also can help keep us mentally alert even as we age.
"Music exercises the brain and the body," says Olsen, who enjoys the stimulation of learning new music and also finds himself "breathing more deeply and sitting up straighter," since he joined the choir a year ago. "Singing is a very physical process, and when you're making your music your body responds as if you were giving it a physical workout," says Eric Roter, a physician and musician who runs the website ermusic.org, which reviews the connections between music and medicine.

Answer 2

For me, singing is a sign of good mental health. I was seeing a shrink several years ago for depression and he kept asking me how I would know when I was better. I never knew what to tell him until one day I realized that I had started to sing with the car radio. I'm likely a life-long depression sufferer, so I use my frequency of singing as a barometer of the level of the depression.

Answer 3

Singing does lift the spirits and makes your day seem better. Some professional singers, however, overdo things to the point that they damage their throats and later in their careers take hard liquor to relax the muscles at the back of the throat... this can lead to life threatening disease (See the life story of Enrico Coruzo). Enjoy a sing every now and then, I was enjoying one the other morning until my daughter asked "Daddy, what is that song that you are singing out of tune?"

Answer 4

I'm not a doctor but I know singing can help your state of mental health. I volunteer in a nursing home and they sometimes have a singer come it to entertain the residents. They love it because the singing is upbeat and lifts their spirits.

Answer 5

I dont either, but I reason like this:
I feel better when singing!
My lungs get excersise when singing

so, yes it is related to health, for me anyway!!

Answer 6

I've read some articles that it music could help with depression. from experience, I've noticed that I always feel better after singing (specially if its a song I grew up with :p )

Answer 7

I'd have to say yes. It fixes you're breathing . You're re-learn the process of breathing. Sort of a meditative experience really when you're only concentrating on your voice. . I'd give it 2 thumbs up!

Answer 8

Depends on if the person is comfortable with it, or not.
If they are, the social aspects can be both fun & relaxing.
If they aren't, the added stress wold be detrimental.

Answer 9

If your happy and you know it clap your hands.
Singing is good for you because its something everyone enjoys doing.
Therefore it must be good for you.
