Can singing keep you healthy?
Singing often can play a role in preventing and treating diseases. Studies have confirmed that singing is an exercise of breathing muscles under certain conditions, and its benefits are no less than running, swimming and boating. Singing can also change people's blood composition and help improve human immunity. Many professional singers live longer than ordinary people 10 years.

1, improve body immunity

When you can't get rid of boredom and distress, you will feel much more relaxed as long as you sing aloud for a short time, because you should concentrate when singing, all kinds of depression will be completely forgotten, completely immersed in the beautiful artistic conception of the song, and enjoy the artistic beauty brought by music, so as to get rid of the psychological constraints and make yourself feel relaxed and happy.

When singing, you can also bring yourself into the situation where the song is sung and express your feelings through singing. I heard that some medical experts have tested that when singing, especially when singing one's favorite songs, the brain will produce and release brain hormones similar to morphine. It can promote and stimulate the increase of immunoglobulin and anti-stress hormone, thus making the brain and body feel relaxed and happy, and increasing the immune function of the body.

2. Abdominal contraction with abdominal muscles

When singing, the basic breathing method is abdominal breathing. Make full use of abdominal muscles, promote metabolism and strengthen abdominal muscles. In addition, when abdominal breathing is used, the activity of diaphragm can adjust the inhalation and exhalation of air and increase vital capacity. The correct way to sing is not to shout with your throat, which will not only fail to achieve the effect, but also damage your throat and form polyps, which will be counterproductive. Let's practice the correct singing method: abdominal breathing.

"Abdominal breathing" is the basic skill of singing, which is quite easy to practice. You can also practice at home by yourself: first lie on your back on the ground or bed, and put something weighing 1~2 kg in your abdomen, such as a book or phone book. Keep singing a song in this position, remember to watch the ups and downs of your abdomen, make sure to breathe with your abdomen, and practice once a day. Practice makes perfect.

Step 3 Enhance memory

There are thousands of old songs and new songs, and the lyrics are rich, so it is difficult to remember them clearly without heart. Therefore, singing is actually a kind of mental work. To search, recover and reproduce the song-related content from hundreds of millions of information in your mind, your brain really needs to run at high speed. Because you need to memorize the lyrics repeatedly, in the long run, you can also strengthen your brain and improve your memory.

4. Improve constipation and skin condition.

If you have chronic constipation, you might as well sing more. It is said that it can relieve the pressure that leads to constipation and activate the autonomic nerve that dominates the peristalsis of the large intestine. In addition, using abdominal breathing to exercise abdominal muscles when singing can also stimulate the peristalsis of the large intestine.

5. Prevention of diseases

Singing often can also consume some calories. Therefore, it is also a good way to exercise. Breathing for a long time after singing increases the metabolism of the body, promotes the metabolism of the body, improves the function of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, and reduces the possibility of hypertension, heart disease and diabetes.

Step 6 relax and be comfortable

When singing, people will become nervous, but after singing a song, the singer will immediately relax. Such a loose and tight cycle can stimulate the autonomic nerve and relieve the body and mind.
