Have you ever noticed that people who are professional singers, or the people around you who enjoy singing, are always in a euphoric mood? This is due to the incredible health benefits that singing offers. Here are five reasons that will make you play your favorite song and sing as if nobody’s listening.

1. Improved Mood

When you sing you release the same hormones and chemicals that are released during sex, or when you eat chocolate – and you feel calm and relaxed. It releases endorphins which boost your energy and make you feel less lethargic.

2. Lung Workout

Singing for a few minutes is like a well deserved workout for your lungs. Singing activates your abdominal, intercostal muscles and the diaphragm, all of which stimulate good circulation practices. When you sing, you take deep breaths which allow you to inhale more oxygen and release the tension in your muscles.
