Dance Your Troubles Away 唱唱跳跳解憂愁
Artistic activities have some surprising health benefits.
藝文活動對健康有些令人意想不到的益處

    

  Many people take lessons in music and dance when they are young because practicing an art also teaches the value of discipline. Recent studies have also shown that getting involved in music and dance can lead to positive chemical changes in the brain. These activities can help us improve our motor skills, and they can also make us healthier and happier.
  Dancing is a form of exercise, and a good night on the dance floor can burn as many calories as a trip to the gym. It is also a social activity, so when we dance with other people, our brains send out chemicals that make us feel happy because we are sharing a fun experience and bonding with our friends.
  Similarly, studies have shown that people who sing regularly have lower levels of stress and higher levels of confidence. When we hear singing, even awful singing, our brains naturally relax. Using the voice properly involves many different muscle groups, and singing can also lead to physical benefits in breathing, posture, and strength.

唱唱跳跳解憂愁
藝文活動對健康有些令人意想不到的益處 

  許多人年輕時會去上音樂課及舞蹈課,因為從事藝術活動能傳達教導自我紀律的價值。最近的研究也顯示,參與音樂及舞蹈活動可以讓大腦產生有益的化學變化。這些活動可以幫我們增進人體的動作技能,也能讓我們更健康快樂。
  跳舞是一種運動,在舞池裡跳上一晚所燃燒的卡路里可等同於去一趟健身房。跳舞也是一項社交活動,所以當我們與他人一起跳舞時,大腦會釋放出讓我們感到歡愉的化學物質,因為我們正和朋友共享愉快經歷、培養彼此情誼。
  同樣地,也有研究指出,經常唱歌的人壓力比較小、自信心較高。我們聽到別人歌唱時,就算歌聲很差,我們的大腦也會自然而然地放鬆。正確使用我們的聲音會牽動很多不同的肌肉群,而且唱歌也會對呼吸、姿態及體力方面帶給身體不少的好處。
