OUR OFFICE - For the investigations, the researchers involved 120 people, 60 of whom were asked to listen to music for 25 minutes, and the other 60 to rest in silence. The subjects who had to listen to the musical pieces were in turn divided into three groups: the first was in charge of listening to the symphony n. 40 by Mozart, the second some compositions by Johann Strauss and the last a compilation of some songs by Abba.
The authors of the study then measured the pressure, heart rate and cortisol level - the so-called "stress hormone" - in all 120 participants and found that hearing music, regardless of the song listened to, caused a tolowering of the cortisol level, especially in women.

In second place appeared the Strauss tracks, leading to a drop in maximum blood pressure of 3,7 mmHg and a minimum of 2,9 mmHg.
No substantial effect, on the other hand, was observed with Abba's songs: the sunny notes of the pop group's music, in fact, are far from relaxing, experts say, but on the other hand they stimulate greater brain activation!
