Some of Music's Effects

"Music can change metabolism, affect muscular energy, raise or lower blood pressure, and influence digestion. It may be able to do all these things more successfully ... than any other stimulants that produce those changes in our bodies,” said Julius Portnoy. Well, I for one definitely agree. Music can affect our moods, heal us, and is proven to help people with mental activities.
Music has the power to make us feel things. For example, it is used to treat depression. It has the ability to make us feel sad, mad, tired, or excited. Classical music has been proven to release more Dopamine, which is a chemical that gives a sense of well being, or euphoria.
Music is also used to treat pain. People with heart problems, arthritis, or recovering from things like strokes are often treated partly by listening to classical music because it helps to ease the pain. Music can also be used to change your blood pressure. Rock, or upbeat music, tends to raise your blood pressure, where classical music lowers it. Again, you may ask why? “Blood pressure,” says Julius Portnoy, “is lowered by sustained chords and raised by crisp, repeated ones.” Classical music causes the brain to release more calcium, which is proven to lower your blood pressure. Rock music, tends to give you an increased or irregular heartbeat which raises your blood pressure. So which type of music would be better for a school activity?
Music has been proven to help mental concentration, help with better test scores, improve our physical performance, and increase our productivity levels. Music, such as Mozart, has been proven to help on tests scores. Rock music can help us physically because of the upbeat tone. Music also helps us to be more productive. It can make us forget that we are tired or bored with a repetitive task. Another effect music can have is to help us de-stress, which definitely helps me to become more productive.
Music can help us in many things. It is one of the most powerful drugs on the market. It can make us do or feel things that nothing else can. It can help us to focus better in healthier ways than coffee, or caffeine. It can help us to more fully be treated, and it helps us to be more fully healed. It can increase our brain’s productivity. It helps us to be at our best and our fullest.
