When we usually feel lonely or bored, we can also choose to listen to music to help ourselves adjust our mood. In fact, music also plays a very important role in mental health.

1. Helps relieve pain

If you feel pain, you might as well listen to some slow-paced music. A study published in Frontiers in Psychology showed that fibromyalgia patients who listened to their favorite music for ten minutes, whether it was pop, folk or classical music, as long as it had less than 120 beats per minute, could reduce their pain.

2. Helps focus

Next time you are preparing for a work presentation or studying intensively, listen to music by Vivaldi and Bach. A 2007 study by the Stanford University School of Medicine found that listening to music from the late Baroque era caused brain changes that help focus and store external events in memory.

3. Improve sports performance

Researchers asked 20 adults to perform two sets of interval exercises. One *** was four 30-second "all-out" bicycle sprints, two Rest 4 minutes in between. One group exercised with music and the other group exercised without music. The results found that those who exercised while listening to music not only felt that exercise was more fun, but also were fully motivated and exercised harder.

4. Improve your mood

As the weather gets colder, the winter blues may make you feel gloomy. However, music can improve your mood. A study published in Nature Neuroscience claims that certain classical music can make people shiver, which in turn promotes the release of dopamine and makes people feel more pleasurable.

5. Makes people feel at ease and calm

A survey found that listening to soft music can make people drive better during a long and tiring drive. Researchers say upbeat music makes people happy, while soothing music makes people calmer and helps them drive better.
