The modern world is rich in various factors that can affect our appetite and our ability to diet. One such factor is music, and music can have different effects depending on what you listen to. Some music calms, some, on the contrary, gives energy and strength. There are many studies that study the effect of music on the human brain and that try to uncover how music can increase its productivity. Despite the fact that different studies come to different conclusions, one thing cannot be put in any doubt. Only the music that you like can help. From music that is unpleasant to you, there will definitely be no sense. But how does music affect the body, and can it help control weight?
Music causes an increase in the level of serotonin in the human body. Serotonin is a hormone that some also refer to as the “happiness hormone” because of the effect it has on the body. In general, serotonin affects our ability to think and move faster, as well as to sleep normally. In addition, it is generally responsible for the normal functioning of the nervous system.
The presence of a high level of serotonin in the blood is an important factor if you are on a diet. After all, most diets, one way or another, are stressful for the body. You are trying to control yourself so as not to overeat or treat yourself to something tasty. And for this you have to make some effort. Serotonin just allows you to better control your appetite. Some scientists even argue that sitting down to a table with low levels of serotonin is like running a hundred meters with your eyes closed. You are doing something, but you can’t figure out when to stop. And serotonin helps you tell yourself “stop” in time.
Thus, serotonin, and the music that affects its content in the human body, are reliable allies of anyone who goes on a diet.
About 20 years ago, players were in use, now the iPod and various smartphones, but this does not change the essence: in recent years, people have the opportunity to listen to music anywhere they want. You can listen to it at home, while preparing another pie, or at work, filling out any report. You can listen to music during a morning run in the park or while working on simulators. You can surround yourself with music in any place convenient for you.
The most important thing is that music will be not only entertainment for you, but also a very useful tool. Music directly affects your ability to concentrate. It helps you focus better on what you are doing. Therefore, choosing a good playlist for sports is a great idea that will help you make your workout more effective.
In addition to increasing concentration, music also gives a certain rhythm to the whole body, affecting your breathing as well. This can, on the one hand, help you do the exercises more accurately, and, on the other hand, allows you to exercise for a longer time. Since it is established that the burning of excess fat in the body occurs only after 30 minutes of training, the ability to train longer is the key to success. So turn on the music and listen to its rhythm.
Music is a very ancient art, which, however, will never lose its relevance. But it is important to know that music is not only beautiful, but also beneficial for you and your health. Turn on the music you like right now and enjoy!
