It therefore has a huge impact on our feelings, as well as a significant impact on improving our physical health.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p><strong>According to the WHO, music helps to reduce patients&#8217; perception of pain and anxiety, complementing medical treatment<\/strong>. Thus, according to their research, the arts support cognition in people with dementia and Alzheimer&#8217;s, improve attention span, episodic memory and executive function, reduce the side effects of cancer treatment, and play a major role in non-communicable and neurological diseases.<\/p>\n<p>In short, the arts, and music in particular, play a fundamental role in health:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Listening to music <\/strong>provides mental benefits (reduced stress and anxiety), lowers heart rate and blood pressure, stimulates the production of endorphins (the happy hormones), improves sleep disorders and helps control blood glucose levels.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Playing an instrument <\/strong>activates brain areas, boosts your immune system, develops your ability to concentrate, promotes discipline and helps with stress management.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Dancing <\/strong>contributes energy and physical and mental benefits, with significant improvements in motor function in people with Parkinson&#8217;s disease.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Group music activities<\/strong> promote socialisation, strengthen bonds with others and improve social relations.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Singing <\/strong>improves breathing, reduces stress, boosts memory and improves posture.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Furthermore, the variety of music styles means that it can be adapted to the needs of any person and age<\/strong> to provide tranquillity, joy, hope, motivation&#8230; and its flexibility offers many ways to involve groups from different cultures or with different illnesses.<\/p>\n<p>For all of the above reasons, music plays a role in improving people\u2019s quality of life, and is a great resource for fostering emotional and sensory development.<\/p>\n<h6><strong><u><a href=\"https:\/\/www.asssa.es\/en\/insurance\/health-insurance\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">ASSSA Health Insurance<\/a><\/u><\/strong><\/h6>\n<h6><em>The information published in this media neither substitutes nor complements in any way the direct supervision of a doctor, his diagnosis or the treatment that he may prescribe.
