Singing may provide benefits beyond improving respiratory and swallow control in people with Parkinson's disease, according to new data from Iowa State University researchers. The results from the pilot study revealed improvements in mood and motor symptoms, as well as reduced physiological indicators of stress.No need to be so specific. Singing is good for EVERYONE, especially for oldies. Recently I realized that I used to hum and sing often but gave up the habit at some point, perhaps 10 years ago. Since then I've made a rule of singing one song every evening before bedtime. The benefits are CLEAR. After singing I feel MUCH calmer and happier. I wouldn't have guessed or expected the difference if I hadn't tried it!
