Happy music, healthy heart
 |
Protect your ticker with cheerful tunes. Scientists at the University of Maryland School of Medicine found that when people listened to music they found joyful, their blood vessels widened by 26 percent. Such expansion means that the protective chemical nitric oxide has been released, which reduces the risk of blood clots and hardened arteries, says researcher Michael Miller, MD. On the other hand, hearing music that listeners described as anxiety-causing narrowed blood vessels by six percent and produced artery harming chemicals. The Rx: Listen to music that boosts your mood at least three times a week.
