A lot of the themes in pop songs are positive, so when I listen to them when I'm extreamly stressed or depressed, I get reassured that my life will pick itself up again. Britney Spears always helps increase my blood vessel diameters. :) I use pop music as my therapy because it cheers me up, no matter what mood I'm in.

Imagine a world without music? And yes,I love country music too.Here at home in Kenya,a local radio station cools our heads off just before dusk with cool sensational country music and I love every minute of it.What a good thing after a stressful day?

This took place well over 2,000 yrs ago. Music therapy has been around for quite a while it seems.. I guess the old phrase "Laughter is the best medicine" could also include Music as well.

Has that been tested? I know I am most joyful and focused when singing. Making music – singing, playing, drumming – must also be good for the heart. Has that been tested?

I listen to everything, from country to reggae, rap to heavy metal, with an emphasis on classic rock and metal. There's nothing more relaxing than leaving my tech support job and blasting some Slipknot or some death metal. I find that using music to release my tension at the end of the day (I take my job personally) helps calm my mental state and lowers my blood pressure. At the same time, I listen to the same music before I go to a concert, or if I have a job interview, something where I need higher blood pressure and I need to be more alert and responsive. I can actually use music to affect every one of my emotions, and it definitely has noticable effects on both my mental and physical health. By the way, I am also a drummer, so I can say that my music DIRECTLY affects my cardio-functions and muscle tone!

It may lower blood pressure directly and have great benefits to the heart. I think endorphins are also involved here. Dear Val,

Petting your pet dog or cat is also added to the list. It may lower blood pressure directly and have great benefits to the heart. I think endorphins are also involved here.
