Health benefits of dancing and singing daily
While speaking to Briefly News, psychologist and relationship expert Penny Holburn shared that music and dancing are good stress relievers. The expert explained that dancing and singing give us a break from our daily routines or work life.
"Dancing, which is a physical activity, is good for both mental and physical health. If you are dancing in a group, then you also benefit from the social engagement. Dancing and music have been shown through research to be effective in alleviating stress and anxiety and can improve mood and overall well-being due to the release of endorphins," she said.
