The health benefits of old people singing.
1, releasing hormones
Studies have shown that stress can affect the immune system of the human body. If you feel good about what you are doing, your immune system will be strengthened.
Researchers have proved that when people sing, their brains release a hormone called oxytocin. This hormone is also released in the brain when couples have sex or when lovers stare at each other affectionately. This hormone can enhance the feelings between people.
2. Enhance immune function
Singing can not only make people happy, but also enhance the immune function of the human body. The researchers found that after each rehearsal, the content of an immunoglobulin called IgA in choir members increased by 150%, while after a public performance, the immunoglobulin increased by 240%.
3. Singing is good for expanding lung capacity.
Singing and practicing vocal music can expand vital capacity and improve respiratory function. According to statistics, the average adult's lung capacity is around 3500 ml, while the singer's lung capacity is often around 4000 ml. So singing is the best way to improve respiratory function.
Step 4 relieve constipation
When singing, abdominal breathing exercises abdominal muscles, which can also stimulate the peristalsis of the large intestine. If it is chronic constipation, it is better to sing more.
5, enhance memory
To sing a song well, you must remember the lyrics and songs completely. When you watch the singer perform on the stage, his mind is full of flowing songs and beautiful lyrics. Only in this way can he enter the artistic conception of the song, express touching feelings and make the audience sing. So singing can concentrate your thoughts and enhance your memory.
6. Improve social skills
In the process of learning to sing, the old people communicate with each other and agree with each other. In particular, participating in chorus can increase communication, improve social skills and reduce loneliness. Researchers have proved that when people sing, a hormone called oxytocin is released in the brain, which can enhance the feelings between people.
Step 7 Adjust your mood
Singing can effectively regulate emotions, and sad songs can help vent negative emotions such as dissatisfaction and depression. Light songs can increase happiness, and old songs can also arouse people's memories of youth, add vitality and be full of hope for life. Therefore, old people always sing and hum when they are in a bad mood. If possible, joining the singing team is not only beneficial to physical and mental health, but also a "magic weapon" for the elderly to keep healthy.

When singing, you read the words according to the head, abdomen and tail, that is, you sing the melody beautifully and "draw" every word with your lips and teeth. The movement of lips, teeth and tongue can drive the movement of eyes and ears. Therefore, some people who often sing, such as singers, are still articulate and alert when they are old.
