Why singing is good for your health

 Nice News -  Singing is one of those rare activities that don’t require talent to be enjoyable — those of us who can’t carry a tune often have just as much fun as professional crooners...

“For millennia, humans have used song to soothe, grieve, celebrate, and connect. It’s one of our oldest forms of communication,” Elisha Ellis Madsen, board-certified music therapist and master of social work candidate, told Nice News. “Now, science is catching up. Physiologically, singing regulates the nervous system through rhythmic breathing and vibration, which calm the body whether or not it ‘sounds good.’ Emotionally, it reawakens our capacity for play and self-expression — things many adults have lost touch with.”

In addition to those boons, there are myriad other mental and physical benefits of channeling your inner rock star (beyond just livening up long road trips). In fact, these benefits are impactful enough for us to make the case that you should be singing much more than you currently do … unless you’re someone who already turns every third thought into a melody. In that case, congrats on taking care of your health! More
