Why sing?

Do you want to stay healthy? You could make sure you have a walk every day – or eat good food.

Or you could take up singing.

§   · Singing has been proved to have all sorts of benefits.

§   · Singing improves your lung capacity and your overall circulation.

§   · Singing strengthens your immune system.

§   · Singing lifts your mood by releasing endorphins, the body’s natural anti-depressant.

§   · Singing improves your brain power. It pumps more oxygen to the brain, which improves mental alertness, memory and concentration.

§   · Singing widens your circle of friends.

§   · Singing has even been found to help some people stop snoring.

§   · And singing is fun.
