According to Robert Locke (www.lifehack.org/author/robert-locke) people who sing will be happier, healthier, and live longer! Locke gives 5 reasons: (1) They have better heart and lung health because singing can help tone abdominal and intercostal muscles; (2) They are happier: When they sing, singers experience a release of the endorphins which make them feel better and their mood is lifted; (3) They have better balance: A study revealed that that the choir members fall much less and they seem to have stronger legs and better balance; (4) They will live longer according to studies at both Harvard and Yale; (5) They have better posture and look younger because singers exercise a wide variety of muscles from the stomach right up to the face.
So, if you're a senior adult looking to be happier, healthier, and live longer, a great solution is for you to join Platinum Singers which meet each Thursday from 1:30-3:30 p.m. from September 7th to the middle of November, then again in the Spring. The group meets every Thursday (starting Sept. 7th) at Prestonwood Church (membership not required) in Room W207...see attached info). Webpage: http://prestonwood.org/senioradults
