Who knows the invisible sadness? At present, more than 700,000 people in Taiwan Province Province suffer from senile depression. Generally speaking, society believes that it is natural for a person to stay healthy and happy when he is free from the main responsibilities in life. However, judging from this figure, it is actually not as simple as imagined. How to maintain a healthy body and mind requires painstaking study.
To prevent senile depression, it is equally important to protect the body, the heart and the brain, and music can be more helpful.
1. Music aerobics: Exercise makes the body comfortable and happy. As you get older, you will inevitably lose the motivation to do outdoor sports. I suggest you make an appointment with three or five friends, which is not only a good way to urge each other to exercise, but also a good way to improve their willingness to exercise.
Whether climbing mountains, hiking or dancing, accompanied by energetic music, such as the songs Flying, Beauty and Heartbeat of Love in the album Interstellar Flight, the soul singer Yantara Jiro sings freely from the heart from the perspective of exploring sounds, which makes people feel the vastness of the universe and the harmony between heaven and earth, straighten up, expand their chests and breathe deeply, and inject vitality into their bodies.

2. Music to relax: Apart from health problems, the depression of the elderly has accumulated over the years, which is virtually harmful to health.
Emotion is invisible and easy to be ignored. Most negative emotions begin with loneliness, which affects sleep for a long time and makes it difficult to feel comfortable all day.
Try to be friends with music, listen to or sing your favorite songs to satisfy your mood and express your indescribable mood through music.
I still remember ABBA, Song of Thought, A Little Umbrella, Wandering the End of the World, Eagle Choir and other songs that accompany my youth, which help to arouse my beautiful and happy self in the past. Or invite friends to form a music reading club, and establish spiritual communication by sharing your own music and listening to others' music. If you express your feelings, you are not prone to depression.

3. Music protects the brain: In recent years, scientists have continuously published studies showing that music helps to activate the brain and remind people that music is a good choice to protect the brain.
For example, songs contain melodies representing emotions and lyrics representing words. When you sing a high-pitched song, your brain will feel happy immediately. Complex and regular music, such as opera and symphony, is an advanced option to activate the brain, with complex musical elements and more comprehensive brain activation.
Music protects the brain not by understanding music, but by listening. Listening attentively needs to be cultivated day after day. It is normal to be easily distracted in the initial attempt. Don't give up easily. As long as you are willing to spend time, it is no problem to listen to the same music repeatedly every day from 10 minutes, 20 minutes and 30 minutes, and feel the brain quietly after listening.
