The results of several recent scientific studies show that classical music has many benefits for our mental and physical health.
 |
| Make your brain work better:At Northumbria University (UK), a research team conducted some experiments on the brain activity of students while taking a test. When they listened to Vivaldi's Spring Concerto, they answered faster and better than when they listened to the sad Autumn Concerto. This study concluded that brain activity improves when listening to pleasant music. |

| Helping people with dementia:If your loved one has Alzheimer’s, you can let them listen to classical music. Studies have shown that music can help them regain their memories and improve their quality of life dramatically. This is because music affects many parts of the brain, it can revive parts of the brain that are not affected by dementia. This is especially effective when the music is associated with a specific event or memory. |
 |
| It may help you sleep better:There is a lot of research on the positive effects of classical music on sleep quality. Researchers believe that music stimulates the senses, helping to relax the body and mind before sleep. |
 |
| Helps relieve pain:Many studies have shown that listening to classical music can reduce pain, especially after surgery. It cannot replace conventional painkillers, but it can be a great aid in reducing depression and pain. |
 |
| Helps you express your emotions:Music can express what we can never say. We may be struggling with anger, depression, and many other emotions. When we connect with music, we can begin to be honest with ourselves. Research at Southern Methodist University found that when listening to classical music, college students were more communicative and open about their emotions. Listening to classical music helps you express your emotions in unique ways. |
 |
| Blood pressure control:Cardiologists have found a link between Beethoven's Ninth Symphony and our blood pressure. They have found that this and many other classical pieces are synchronized with the body's natural rhythms, which helps keep blood pressure at a stable level. |
 |
| Helps dieters:In modern life, it is difficult to eat slowly, chew food thoroughly and really enjoy it. Listening to soft music by candlelight helps people enjoy their food more slowly and eat less. This is the result of a study conducted at Cornell University. |
