Scientists found that after listening to just 50 minutes of uplifting dance music, the levels of antibodies in volunteers’ bodies increased. They also found that stress hormone levels, which can weaken the immune system, decreased after being exposed to the music. [...] The researchers tested 300 people, asking them to listen to 50 minutes of happy, joyful dance music or to a random collection of tones. They found that levels of cortisol, the stress hormone, decreased significantly in those listening to the dance music compared to the control group.
Well I must agree with this article. What I noticed for myself is sometimes when my mood is down , playing electronic music cheers me up. I guess that those hormones do really get affected by our favourite music.
And I thought it was just the vodca that i drinked at parties that cured my sore throat..guess that wasn`t entirely true ;))
