Let me ask you, there should be no one who doesn’t like music, right? Of course, there are many types of music, such as jazz, electronic, hip-hop, classical, and country, all of which have their own loyal fans. Listening to the music you like always makes people feel better.
However, music can not only make people feel better, various studies have pointed out that it also has a positive impact on health. According to research from the American Psychological Association (APA), music can improve the body's immune system, reduce stress, and even alleviate pre-surgery anxiety.
Researchers have found that music can increase the body’s immunoglobulin A and natural killer cells, which can attack viruses, and effectively improve the effectiveness of the body’s immune system. Music can also reduce levels of the stress hormone cortisol. content.
In addition, the type of music you listen to also has different effects. Here are the benefits to the body of listening to fast-paced music or listening to classical music. Studies have found that listening to fast-paced music can reduce appetite
In fact, everyone knows the method of losing weight, but Qiu Zhenghong, a doctor at Jingsheng Clinic, pointed out that it is often because of weak willpower that one cannot be cruel to oneself and starve. , which leads to the inability to lose weight. Therefore, if there is a way to fundamentally prevent people from wanting to eat and losing their appetite, the chance of successful weight loss will naturally be greatly improved.
"Coincidentally, an international medical study in 2017 found that different types of music and Hz audio can affect appetite. The study pointed out that such as jazz and classical music Or music with an audio frequency above 440Hz can help stimulate appetite," Qiu Zhenghong pointed out.
On the contrary, hip-hop music, 295.8Hz audio, or music with beats per minute or more than 100 beats per minute will suppress appetite, excite people's sympathetic nerves, and promote the secretion of adrenaline, thereby helping to decompose fat cells. further achieve the effect of weight loss. Commonly used headphones and the aging population increase hearing degradation, which can be improved by listening to classical music
In addition, listening to music has another function that may surprise you, that is, it can protect hearing. Listening to more music is expected to protect hearing. This seems to go against our common intuitive knowledge, because we often hear that wearing headphones for too long can cause hearing loss.
Chen Guangchao, director of the Cochlear Implant Center of Yadong Hospital, pointed out that according to research reports published by the WHO in recent years, as many as 1 billion people in the world have hearing crises due to poor living habits. Chen Guangchao said that the source of hearing mainly relies on the ears. Of the 35,000 hair cells in the human body, 3,500 will die every 10 years as we age, and half will be lost in 50 years. Therefore, as the population ages, it will lead to hearing loss, which is the main reason for the increase in the hearing-impaired population.
Chen Guangchao pointed out that some reports indicate that musicians who listen to classical music for 30 minutes each time, three times each time, and who are on average in their 60s, have better hearing than other people of the same age. Chen Guangchao said that although the number of these reports is not enough to prove their effectiveness, they are indeed exciting. The general public may wish to listen to classical music before going to bed, which can not only improve their health, but also try to slow down the rate of hearing deterioration.
Chen Guangchao said that the symphony has a wider frequency range from bass to treble, and the auditory nerve is also a cranial nerve, so it will not be damaged if it is used frequently. Based on this inference, there are relevant experiments abroad, but there is not enough evidence to prove its effectiveness. But at least compared to taking medicine, listening to music has no side effects or sequelae.
