Music is one such activity which stimulates the brain in its totality. No matter what mood you are in there is always a song or a tune that sums up the occasion, everyone loves music or a good tune and it is the best way to express your emotions and keep yourself healthy and alert. 

Music has been found to have incredible effects on our mind and body, and in this case even in our overall general health.  Music can have both positive as well as the negative effect on us -

1. Music in psychology

Music is used as a tool in psychology to heal people suffering from mental illness or problems. The music therapy is found to be efficient in many cases of (specific) mental issues.

2. Music for heart

Music relaxes us and is a great source of distraction from daily life stresses. Since it reduces stress and anxiety and tensions it indirectly works wonders for our heart. Stress is found to increase your heart rate and blood pressure, too much stress can also lead to heart problems, so, listen to your favourite tune once daily it will keep healthy.

3. Music for pain

It is found that music acts as a pain reliever, why? The reason is yet not very well noted down and scientists are still looking over it, but it has been seen that minor headaches or post-surgery pain are reduced by listening to music. So next time instead of popping an aspirin, you may rather listen to music. Aspirins consumption for minor things is not good, too much of aspirin can affect our livers badly. 

 4. Keeps you fit

Music can motivate us with a great deal. So, listening to music while working out helps you push that extra mile that you need to keep fit. Also, another way of working out is dancing and what is dance without music. 

Also when we exercise we become fit and that is very much necessary for a healthy and good life.

5. Music and Memory

It is found that music is great at improving our memory, and is used to treat patients of Alzheimer's. Music helps us pick up things faster then compared to monotonous speeches and paragraphs. 

6. Immune system

Different kinds of music have a different kind of effect on us. Music is found to boost our immune, different music’s create positive emotional situations and experiences for us which leads to the secretion of hormones regulating the immune system. 

7. Trauma and shock

It is found that music can be effective trauma and help people who have suffered some kind of shock or stroke. Basically all the positive effects are the outcomes of the happy hormone- dopamine released by brain while we listen to music.

8. Harsh to ear

Among all of its positive effects, music does have a negative impact and that is – too loud music can damage our hearing ability, especially when we listen to music and a very high volume from an earphone.  We mostly ignore the warnings but with each time we listen to loud music our hearing ability decreases. So reframe form listening too loud while using an earphone.
