★The Benefits of Singing★
There are many benefits of singing and why it’s good for us, not least because it helps are health and well-being, it’s also such fun especially if no-one is listening!
Here are my top reasons for you to get singing:
- Singing promotes a healthy heart: it gently keeps your heart active and opens it up to feeling emotions as you express yourself.
- Singing is a gentle form of aerobic exercise: when you sing you are exercising your core muscles as well as improving your lung capacity, circulation and co-ordination. That’s just fantastic.
- Singing allows you to unwind and detox: everyone needs to give themselves permission to slow down after a hard day. Singing addresses this and rebalances your mental, physical and spiritual wellbeing, just like being on holiday!
