A song a day keeps the doctor away!

7 January 2016

With the new year comes new resolutions; get healthier, unburden your mind, find happiness, and the list goes on. The good news in that long list is that we’ve got the solution to it all in one fell swoop. Singing! Yes, karaoke-ers, this is something that you do already and one that will keep the doctor at arm's length!

So why this one and not the ten others on your 2016 resolution list? We’ve laid it all out…

It’s natural

When have you ever heard someone say “I hate singing?” Granted we may not all be blessed with a heavenly set a pipes, but gosh darn it, this is something that we can all do!

It’s easy

This isn't running five miles a day, prepping for a marathon. You don't need gear up, stretch (though warm-up exercises never hurt) or fight the miserable weather. Nope, this one's easy! However you are and wherever you are, one song a day, it's really that simple!

It’s fast

This is a habit that can improve health on an average of 2-3 minutes per day! No need to block out a specific time, or feel guilty because you are too tired to set aside ten minute. A few minutes is all it takes! Doable with even the craziest of schedules.

It’s fun

Let’s refer back to that marathon analogy! This is something that you already enjoy doing, making that much more likely that you will stick with it!

It’s doctor-recommended

Studies show that singing opens respiratory tubes, improves posture, enhances moods, acts as an antidepressant, promotes togetherness, increases confidence, exercises the lungs, strengthens concentration, helps snorers snore less and the list goes on and on.

Convinced that this is one resolution that you can stick to? Let us help you get started.
