THE 8 SURPRISING WAYS ROCK MUSIC IS GOOD FOR YOUR HEALTH

It is easy to think of rock music as being angry and aggressive, but new research suggests that listening to hard rock could actually make you happier and healthier. Even heavy metal, which we associate with rage and mayhem, can provide balm for the soul and turn a bad mood into a positive one. As well as discovering more about how the benefits of music can make us feel better, we are going to take a look at some of the most influential and inspirational rock songs ever written.

1. HAPPY METAL

A study was carried out in 2015 for the journal Self and Identity to examine how growing up as heavy metal fans in the 1980s had impacted on the lives of adults. You may be aware that in the 80s there was a certain amount of controversy about heavy metal music, as religious groups particularly in the States linked it to satanic worship. Clearly that was a load of old nonsense, and it seems equally clear that listening to heavy rock can actually have a positive impact. The group of 377 adults which was surveyed revealed thatmetal rock fans were happier and less regretfulthan those who preferred other types of music, or who werent music fans at all.

2. ROCK OUT WHILE YOU WORK OUT

Many of us like to listen to music when we go to the gym or head out onto the streets for a run. It turns out that there are a number of benefits of listening to music when you exercise, and it helps you to maximise your efforts. For example, a study in 2010 discovered thatcyclists worked harder when listening to fast tempo rock music. Listening to your favourite tunes also acts as a distraction, helping you to forget about the physical exertions you are going through. The right music can also put you in the right frame of mind to exercise and helps you to get into the 'zone' where you are maximising your effort. And of course, the more we exercise, the healthier (and happier) we will be.

3. RECOVERY

The benefits of music extend further than just the period when you are exercising. A study carried out by the Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research found that listening to music helped when warming down as well. The ten chosen participants were monitored when warming down with and without music. When they listened to music, the subjects walked further in the same period of time, and also their blood tests showed that their lactate levels were dropping faster. Furthermore,the participants all reported that they felt better when warming down with musicthan without.
