Dance Music Is For Everyone: Why Your Family and Friends Will Love EDM

[divider]MENTAL & PHYSICAL HEALTH BENEFITS[/divider]

Everyone has areas of their life that they’d like to improve, whether physically or mentally, and EDM can help. From maintaining a positive mood to boosting energy levels to complete a workout, EDM provides numerous ways to better anyone’s daily mental and physical health. Google-searched results show a bounty of studies on the positive ways music can affect the human brain. One such study from the University of Florida explains it this way: “While the brain interprets music, successive biochemical reactions are induced within the body. Evidence indicates that music plays a role in activating pleasure-seeking areas of the brain that become stimulated by food, sex, and drugs.”

The New England Journal of Medicine reported on whether or not physical or cognitive recreational activities influenced mental acuity, in a 21-year study of senior citizens, 75 and older.  Their method for objectively measuring mental acuity in aging was to monitor rates of dementia, including Alzheimer’s disease. They discovered that some activities had a significant beneficial effect while other activities had none. One of the surprises of the study was that almost none of the physical activities appeared to offer any protection against dementia. There can be cardiovascular benefits of course, but the focus of this study was the mind. There was one important exception: the only physical activity to offer protection against dementia was frequent dancing.

Where EDM trumps other styles of music in effecting the brain, is its unique ability to be customized for nearly any situation. Things like beats per minute, the length of the recording (a track, mix, or live-set), the genre and more all offer options that other styles of music fail to deliver. Not that other styles of music don’t have their own variety options, but no other major genre can measure up to the sheer availability and potential to customize your listening experience like EDM. With this added ability to custom fit your sounds to your daily routine, the way music enhances your life is  limitless.
