Music is food for the soul – all of us agree with that – it is an accepted idiom. But did you know that music is good for your physical health also. It has many beneficial consequences, and often works in conjunction with medical treatments for any ailments.

Relieves Stress:

Medical research has proven that the positive vibes of music help to negate the negative vibes of stress. When you are tired or agitated, just sitting back and getting lost in the sounds of your favorite music can help you calm down. It also helps in relieving the symptoms of depression and anxiety. Good music may not take away the cause of the anxiety but can help decrease the levels of distress that you may feel.

Helps you sleep better:

Listening to peaceful and relaxed music at night can lull your body into a state of relaxed slumber. However, if you are fond of more jazzier music, just listening to it before you retire can make you feel all is well with the world, and thus get a good night’s sleep.

Heart rates:

Medical practitioners are increasingly using music therapy to help control the heart rate of their patients. Listening to music can lead to a slower breathing and heart rate and also a relaxed response to the treatment being provided.

Think back, how often has just a few minutes of listening to music helped you to feel better and healthier and brighter. Do it more often, after all your health is of great importance.

   I agree with you 100%, music can have a very positive effect on a persons health and overall feeling of wellbeing. Me personally, I’m a big lover of music. I like different genres at different times, depending on my mood. Usually something ‘get-up-and-go’ in the morning, and something more calm and soothing in the evening before sleeping. Music truly is one of lifes pleasures.

   This is 100% true! how it works is when you concentrate on the melody you distract your mind from dwelling in the past, saying negative things about yourself and being anxious about the future…all of which are roots of depression. the key is finding music that feels good to you, that you want to follow and that will keep your mind present and out of the past and/or future. i find that classical style pieces help me the most. Liebstraum is my most favorite piece to listen to but more contemporary classical like yanni or jim brickman are great as well.

   Hi,
   music is the soul of life and most of the people like it, even they do their works while listen music. I think music is good for health and we feel fresh and it removes the stress. Doctors are now recommending to listen music to the pregnant ladies for better health of their child.
   Anyways keep it up and keep continue with your valuable thoughts.

   I can’t imagine a life without music. It would be totally boring, isn’t it? Music is a big influence to a person, and also to ones health. Indeed, I agree, it is already proven and tested – music is food for the soul. Just wondering which kind of music is more therapeutic? Is it true that more alive (alternative or rock) music is much better for the health?
