Singing chorus is good for the heart like practicing Yoga

Singing in a choir or crowd cheering on sporting events can bring health benefits, especially to the heart, like practicing Yoga.

The conclusion is drawn after scientists conduct research on the effects of music on human health. They discovered, when people participated in singing chorus, their heart rate also became synchronized, pulse increased and decreased rhythmically.

The research report published in Frontiers in Psychology also shows that a significant effect of choral singing on the variation of an individual's heart rate - the change of intervals between the beats, is related. to reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease.

"Our hypothesis is that singing is a regular, controlled form of breathing because the exhalation occurs while humming the short passages and inhaling in between these passages. Every time the heart beats, the pulse of a people will increase and decrease.

For people who are younger and healthier, have greater variability in the pulse, the pulse is also clearer and smoother. This variation in heart rate like this is a sign to help diagnose cardiovascular risk and disease , " said Dr. Björn Vickhoff, head of research from the Sahlgrenska Institute of the University of Gothenburg in Sweden.

According to Dr. Vickhoff, when singing chorus, the group's heart rate increased and decreased at the same time. This has the same effect as breathing practice in Yoga, helping people relax. There are many positive signs, that process is very beneficial for cardiovascular health.

Singer Vickhoff says, singing can enhance our health in other ways. He said: "When you are happy, you sing. It is always good because you are training your lungs to breathe better. When you sing with others, you are synchronizing with them and harmonizing your hearts. That will make people more open and sympathetic to each other. "

Mr. Vickhoff and his colleagues will now continue to study whether singing chorus in reality can create the sharing of views in the minds of participants.
