Why Music Is Actually Good For You

"Without music, life would be a mistake.” Friedrich Nietzsche.

Whoever you are, if you are an angel or a devil, you get to enjoy music. Music is theuniversal language of the world. Listening to your favorite music when you're having a bad moment can instantly lighten your mood and relax you. But, did you know that music is also a way to maintain a good health? It has been proven scientifically that listening to music can affect our health in a good way. Here are some of the health benefits from listening to music.

1. It makes you happier.

I don’t think this one would need a scientific prove. Everyone who listens to music can feel the dopamine flush in his/her brain.

2. It helps with memory loss.

People who suffer from memory loss can recall emotions and events that happened in the past by listening to specific tunes. It helps their brain since the part in that responsible for processing music is next to memory. This is a short video shows how powerful music is on brains.

3. It relieves stress.

“I think music in itself is healing. It’s an explosive expression of humanity. It’s something we are all touched by. No matter what culture we’re from.” – Billy Joel. Listening to your favorite music can control the hormone that is responsible for stress, which is cortisol. This can improve our health since the majority of illnesses are caused by stress.

4. It helps with pain.

“One good thing about music, when it hits you, you feel no pain.” – Bob Marley

Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.
