Sing Yourself to Better Health
Sing yourself happy and fit! If you have ever wondered why choral singers  look to be on a high, here are some of the reasons. The health benefits of singing are well documented:
- Singing is very effective as a stress reliever and improves sleep.
- Singing improves your posture.
- Singing improves mental alertness.
- Singing strengthens concentration and memory.
- Singing increases poise, self-esteem and presentation skills.
- Singing tones facial, abdominal and intercostal muscles, and the diaphragm, and stimulates circulation.
- Singing broadens expressive communication.
- Singing adds a rich, more pleasant quality to speech.
- Singing animates the body, mind and spirit.
- Singing enables the performer to delve into characterization/acting.
- Singing is an ageless enjoyment - you are never too young or too old.
- Singing boosts your immune system, helping to fight disease and prolonging life expectancy.
- Singing releases endorphins into your system and makes you feel energized and uplifted.
- Singing releases pain-relieving endorphins, helping you to forget that painful tooth/knee/whatever.
- Singing makes you breathe more deeply than many forms of strenuous exercise, so we take in more oxygen, improve aerobic capacity and experience a release of muscle tension as well.
