Music provides the exercise your brain requires comparable to what working out does to your body. Listening to music has been proven to stimulate more areas of your brain than any other activity. When music enters our brain, one of the first thing that occurs is that pleasure centers produce dopamine, a chemical that makes us happy. This reaction is so fast that the brain may predict the most enjoyable peaks in familiar music and ready itself with an early dopamine rush.
Music can be beneficial to your health in ways more than simply making you feel good. Listening to music has been linked to increases in immunity-boosting antibodies and cells that guard against germs and other intruders, according to research. Music can help treat depression, Parkinson’s, seizures, brain damage, and premature birth, while also improve your memory and your perception of time.
Although it was previously thought that these benefits came only from listening to classical music, recent studies have shown that this is not exclusive to certain genres. Instead, it is shown that these benefits come when listening to your favorite music. Yet, the more you listen to the same music the less effect it has on our brain over time, listening to new music can enhance your brain back to the activity levels it once reached when you first listened to the music you have grown accustomed to.
