I didn’t look closely, but this might interest people:
- A review of 26 studies suggests singing, playing an instrument, or listening to music can improve mental health and overall well-being.
- Researchers found music can have just as much of a positive impact on mental health as exercise or weight loss.
this isn’t the first time music has been associated with some great health benefits. The World Health Organization published a review that found the arts can improve health and well-being. Additionally, new research from 2021 found actively playing music, even later in life, may have a small but positive impact on cognitive functioning and lower dementia risk.
