Singing is Good for Your Health!!!

There is more research out there than I realized that supports singing is great for our health, both physiological and psychological. I already knew that, of course, because I experience it directly and see clients experience it too. But it is nice to know that science is adding credence to our experiences. Research shows that:

Singing boosts our immune system with antibodies and anti-stress hormones.
Singing reduces pain and relieves stress through the release of endorphins.
Singing is therefore also a natural mood lifter with no negative side-effects.
It improves our breathing and, therefore, our oxygen intake.
It tones facial and abdominal muscles.
It stimulates our circulation.
Singing brightens our expressiveness and voice quality.
Singing keeps us young in body, mind and heart!

Best of all, singing is accessible to anyone with a voice and highly economical.

So Tra La La the next time you want to feel good fast!
