Musical memory is often the last memory to fade in people with dementia, who can be prompted to sing entire songs perfectly even when they can't speak.
Use singing as heart exercise for cardiovascular health
Singing is fantastic exercise for people with cardiovascular disease because holding your breath for long periods is similar to what a swimmer does.
Imagine singing to activate your brain's potential

Utilize denial to manage travel stress and boost immunity
A strategy for managing the physical stress of frequent travel is to use denial, consciously choosing not to think about jet lag or fatigue to build immune strength.
Leverage choir singing to combat postpartum depression
A study found that for women with postpartum depression, the more severe their depression, the more they benefit from the social connection of singing in a choir.
