Recent research conducted in Australia found that one in 5 people sing in the shower and some believe they are good enough to win a song contest.
No matter how talented you are, there is something about singing in the shower that makes us feel happier and besides happiness, there are many other benefits:
- Singing in the shower lowers blood pressure
Singing has a calming effect on our body and mind and can help normalize blood pressure. It also lowers cortisol, a hormone that raises blood pressure and raises blood sugar. High cortisol levels can result in inflammation in the body, stress and type 2 diabetes.
- Improves your immune system
Singing can help us fight infection, according to scientists, as it increases immublobin A. One more reason to sing in the shower and not only.
- Reduce stress
Another study in Sweden has shown that singing has a calming effect and can slow down the heartbeat. It also helps your body release oxytocin, which lifts your mood and fights anxiety. Singing in the shower can give you the same feeling you get when you hug someone.
- Reduces pain
Singing improves muscle tension and encourages your body to release endorphins and relieve uncomfortable sensations.
- Helps you stay in shape
When you are singing, you are using a lot of the muscles that are in your face and neck.
- Singing in the shower makes your voice sound better
The acoustics in your shower makes it the perfect place to sing. Since the shower is usually a small space, it adds a little bass to your voice and makes it sound louder and deeper.
