Do you have a favorite song? One that you know all of the words to? Music, especially specific songs, play an important role in our lives. They can affect our moods, rev us up for a workout, soothe a broken heart and even give our mind a workout.
Listening to music is good for the brain according to CNN Health and can be used in different forms of therapy. “When someone is asked to sing a song, many areas of the brain are triggered when trying to remember the lyrics.” That simple request forces the brain to carry messages from one side to the other and then back again producing quite a workout.
Next time you turn on the radio, think about all the rhythm connections being made in your brain, and don’t be afraid to sing along.
