Guitar

Hey, look what I found at “Men’s health” magazine:

There are Scientific Reasons You Should Play the Guitar!

What an inspiring news, ah?

According to a neuroscientific study, hearing music triggers the release of dopamine in the brain, the same chemical that’s released during sex.

A study found that stress could be reduced on a genomic level by playing an instrument. Rocking out actually reverses your body’s response system to pressure.

If you play the guitar—or any musical instrument, for that matter—you’re more likely to have sharper brain function

Stuck at work without your six-string? You’re still giving your brain a workout: According to a Cambridge University study, musicians continue being creative even when they’re not playing their instruments.

“We’ve found compelling evidence that musical interventions can play a health care role in settings ranging from operating rooms to family clinics,” says Prof. Levitin. “But even more importantly, we were able to document the neurochemical mechanisms by which music has an effect in four domains: management of mood, stress, immunity and as an aid to social bonding.”

Enough medicine- now the real thing:

Have you heard the sounds of an accordion in a warm night near table served with wine and sea food? So, trust me on this. If we cannot play it at least we can listen and truly enjoy!
