Dancing and playing music reshape your brain in ways that can ease clinical depression, according to emerging research. Free-form movement to music may work better than structured exercise, and you don't need the standard 150 minutes a week to see benefits.
If you're going to spend an hour in a spin class under floresome lights with somebody yelling at you to stand up and sweat versus an hour at Burning man dancing. I'll take the Burning man dancing every single time. And it's probably better for my brain, right?
Someone who doesn't pick up a little ukulele or guitar or sit down on the piano or sing in the car with themselves, just think it's like a missed opportunity of a really powerful neuroplastic tool which is using more music in our lives. I don't need you to exercise for 150 minutes a week to beat clinical depression. I'd like you to go dancing Friday night because there are some interesting studies looking at movement. All movement is great.
What does it do to your brain?
