Music For Your Heart

Everyone knows that in order to boost your heart health you need to eat healthier, increase physical activity and possibly take medications to help with blood pressure.But did you know that listening to music could help your heart?

Sure listening to music can improve your mood, but it can also help reduce blood pressure. While music will never be able to take the place of your hypertension medication, it can help reduce your high and low blood pressure and even your heart rate.

Make sure and choose your tunes wisely thought. According to Dr. Halit Yerebekan, research has shown “the tempo of the music being listened to affects the heart. A faster tempo increases blood pressure, while a more relaxed and slower tempo reduces it”.
