Don't store avocado like this: it's dangerousAttending a concert could help you live better and even do it longer, extending your life expectancy by 9 years.
According to a study conducted by O2 and Patrick Fagan, an expert in behavioral sciences and associate professor at Goldsmith University. According to the research, periodically dedicating your time to recreational activities like concerts is good for your mood and even your health, literally extending your life.
La search has dealt with the very power of live music on the body and mind. Attending a music concert once every 15 days could increase life expectancy by up to 9 years thanks to its power to positively affect well-being.
They are also enough 20 minutes of music to produce a significant increase of 21% of the feelings of well-being. In addition to this, further academic research directly links high levels of well-being to an increase in lifespan, where there is a direct link between enjoyment and longevity.
The findings come from psychometric tests and heart rate monitoring during a long range of wellness activities, including dance classes, yoga and dog walks. The concert experience increased attendees' pleasant sensations by 21%, self-esteem and empathy by 25% while mental stimulation increased by 75%.
At a later stage, the scientists sought to demonstrate the positive correlation between regularity of attendance at music concerts and well-being. Those who attend live concerts once every fortnight they are more inclined to express their happiness, satisfaction, and productivity esteem at the highest level (10/10), suggesting that experiencing live music regularly contributes to well-being.
Nina Bibby, O2 CMO said:
"We all know how great it is to see your favorite band or artist live, but now we have proof",
Listening to music at home doesn't have the same effect also because experience of a concert, as well as being stronger and more engaging, it is shared also with others.
Patrick Fagan added:
"Our research shows the profound impact of concerts on feelings of health, happiness and well-being with fortnightly or regular attendance being key."
Music, a real cure-all especially when we can live it together with others.
