7. Treat mental illness
Health isn’t just taking care of your physical body, your mental health is equally important. Music is no slouch in this department either. Depression, anxiety and stress are incredibly common, and music can have a strong effect on all of these.
Classical music has a particularly strong effect, but if you prefer more contemporary music then this can also work if it is relaxing and fairly slow paced.
Music is the oldest medicine. More and more research being performed every year across the world is revealing that music can transform our lives even at our lowest points.
If you take anything from this article, never be without music.
