It’s the weekend and at some point you’ll probably relax with your favorite music, watch a movie with a catchy name, or hit the dance floor.
There’s no doubt that listening to your favorite music can put you in a good mood. But scientists are now discovering that music can do more for you than just cheer you up.

And a recent survey carried out through Mind, the intellectual fitness charity, found that after counselling, patients found organizational treatments, such as art and music treatment, to be most helpful.
Here, we share six tactics that music shows for your health and that of your family.
How it helps: Music influences the autonomic nerve formula, the component of the nerve formula responsible for controlling our blood pressure, core rate, and brain, in addition to the limbic formula, the component of the brain that controls emotions and emotions. According to one study, these two formulas respond sensitively to music.
When slow rhythms are played, our blood pressure and core frequency decrease, which helps us breathe more slowly, reducing muscle tension in the neck, shoulders, abdomen and back. And experts say that in addition to physical tension, music also reduces mental tension in our minds.
In other words, when we feel pain, we get scared, frustrated, and angry, which causes tension in many muscles in the back. Listening to music regularly helps our body physically and mentally, helping to relieve (and save) back pain.
The research: A new study from the Salzburg General Hospital in Austria, to be published in the Vienna Medical Weekly, could hold the key to back pain. In the study, 65 patients between the ages of 21 and 68 who suffered from chronic back pain after back surgery were divided into two groups.
One organization won popular healthcare and physiotherapy. The other organization also listened to music and won 25-minute viewing categories each day for 3 weeks. The effects revealed that the organization that listened to music and used photographs experienced greater pain relief than the organization that did not.
Clinical psychologist Franz Wendtner, who led the study, says: “Music is a component of our physical and emotional well-being: since we were little in our mother’s womb, we paid attention to her heartbeat and breathing rhythms.
“Listening to music for about 25 minutes a day for at least ten days can prevent back pain and sleep better. “
What kind of music is best? Experts say that any type of classical music like Mozart or Beethoven can help relieve muscle pain. Quiet, slow music can also be helpful.

On days when the men exercised while listening to music, they traveled 11% more than on days when they did not pay attention to the music. The researchers also found that men’s effort levels were lower when they paid attention to music.

How it helps: For many other people with memory loss, spoken language no longer makes sense. Music can help patients hear melodies or songs and connect them to their story. This is because the part of the brain that processes music is located next to memory.
The research: Researchers at Sogn Og Fjordane University in Norway looked at the effects of live, recorded and non-music music on three other groups of people with post-traumatic amnesia or memory loss.
The patients were exposed to all 3 conditions, twice for six consecutive days. The effects showed that when patients paid attention to live or recorded music, two-thirds of them had particularly reduced anxiety symptoms and a greater orientation towards the organization that did not pay attention to music.
