The reason music can be so useful to our health is that it helps to activate various regions of the brain, as well as the communication between them, leading to a noticeable improvement in quality of life, learning abilities, concentration, and memorization, among others.
It can help to regulate cortisol levels in the body, lowering stress and inspiring pleasant emotions within us.
It is important to take note however that not all music can bring about the above benefits. In fact, some can hinder them. That can be due to some songs containing lyrics or beats that have the potential to make us feel depressed, anxious, and stressed, thus lowering our immune response and overall well-being. So stay alert to how certain music makes you feel and only listen to the ones that you truly enjoy.
