See How A Daily Portion of Your Favorite Melody Can Affect You

We have all heard that listening to music can help cure diseases, and sometimes improve our productivity at work. If so, I think we should play it even louder, and forget about NEMA.

Currently, I live in an apartment close to a major pub, and every Friday, Saturday and Sunday evenings I can hear high frequency sounds coming from there. It doesn't bother me, I've been an advocate for music since my childhood. BOOM!

I found in my own experience the power of music when I was experiencing a nervous breakdown recently. I figured that music would help calm me and distract me from mousy state, and sure it did.

Music’s neurological reach, and its historic role in healing has led researchers to consider ways music may improve our health and wellbeing.

Here are five ways of the many.

The Mozart effect

Mozart's music with a 60 beats per minute beat pattern, activates the left and right brain. The simultaneous left and right brain action maximizes learning and retention of information.

Reducing blood pressure

By playing recordings of relaxing music every morning and evening, people with high blood pressure can train themselves to lower their blood pressure - and keep it low. According to research reported at the American Society of Hypertension meeting in New Orleans, listening to just 30 minutes of classical, Celtic or raga music every day may significantly reduce high blood pressure.

Improves Your Workout

Experts say listening to music during exercise can give you a better workout in several ways. Scientists claim it can increase your endurance, boost your mood and can distract you from any discomfort experienced during your workout.

Robert Herdegen of America's Hampden-Sydney College in Virginia, looked at the effects of 12 men riding a bicycle for ten minutes while listening to music on one day. He compared it to the same men riding bicycles without music for ten minutes the following day. On the days that the men exercised listening to music, they travelled 11 per cent further - compared to the days they didn't listen to music. Researchers also found that the men's levels of exertion were at their lowest when listening to music.

Other studies show that listening to music releases endorphins - our natural 'feel good' hormones that lift our mood and give us motivation to carry on longer with exercise.
Which type of music is best? The best type of music for exercise is thought to be high energy, high tempo music such as hip hop or dance music.

Meditation

Certain music is appropriate for meditation as it can help the mind slow down and initiate the relaxation response. However, not all peaceful or “New Age” music works for everyone. Music with no structure can be irritating or even unsettling. Gentle music with a familiar melody more often is comforting. But search around to find what produces a sense of calm, familiarity, and centeredness for you as an individual.

Traffic Jammin’

a traffic jam is one situation where it is difficult to change the external circumstances.Unfortunately, getting stressed or worrying about it doesn’t make the time go slower nor the traffic move faster. You can always use the commute time to practice shifting your mood through music.
