Singing is healthy !

Recently we read the following article in a newspaper ( Moorsmagazine ) : According to scientists of the university of Frankfurt singing is healthy and reinforces the immune system. They examined blood samples of amateur-singers, who had given a blood sample before and after singing the Requiem of Mozart. By singing the level of immuno-globuline A and cortisol, two important factors for a good functioning immune system, had significantly raised.

Two weeks later another blood sample was taken. This time the church choir was not allowed to sing but had to listen to a recording of the Requiem. The blood levels of cortisol and imminu-globuline did not raise this time above the normal level. The scientists also noticed that the mood of the singers improved during singing.

N.o.t.r.: Not for nothing the bible advises us to sing for the Lord!
