Is Country Music Good for the Ticker?
Dr. Mike Miller is a research cardiologist but, man, does he know his music. He just completed this study out of the University of Maryland Medical Center in Baltimore and has reached this stunning conclusion: Music makes people happy. Literally. He started out studying the effects of happiness on people's hearts and getting blood to circulate more freely. "Turns out music may be one of the best de-stressors -- either by playing or even listening to music," he concluded. He used high-tech imaging to measure blood vessel size as people listened to music. He also discovered that when people listened to music they didn't particularly enjoy, the vessels began to close up. And the study also warns that listening to the same song over and over diminished the good effects on the body. So the bottom line is, if you like country music, it's good for you. I don't have a family history of heart disease, but just to be on the safe side, I am going to keep my blood flowing with a steady stream of Nashville's best medicine.
