Music

   There are many ways to cure deceases,such as antibiotics, surgery,and therapy. In the passage "How and why is music a good tool for health?" by Elizabeth Scott she talks about an intricate kind of therapy which utilized music to affect your body and mind. Hospitals have begun to use music therapy to alleviate pain, help depression, promote movement, appease patients, relieve muscle tension, and other benefits.I agree when  the passage states "Music can also be used to ring a more positive state of mind,helping to keep depression and anxiety under control."
   Research has shown that music with a strong beat can bring sharper concentration and more alert thinking. My friend who works out a lot has actually told me what helps him stay upbeat. He goes to the gym everyday for an hour,but before doing so he makes a music playlist of the Dubstep Genre. This music contains loud,strong,and fast beats.He has told me this type of music helps him persevere and keeps him motivated. Bodybuilding sites on the internet have people who say this music genre is guaranteed to help.
   Another reasearch shows taht breathign and heart rate may be affected by music.Music with slow,and soothing melodies often bring slower breathing and a sense of relaxation. I saw a documentary on Buddhist Monks on the discovery channel explaining their midtation techniques. Sure enough they used soothing music to aid relaxation and remove tension. The monks have said that using music has been used for a really long time.
   In Conclusion, Music can do many things for us, like therapy for the sick.Whether it's working out at an extreme pace, or relaxing to enter a meditative state that monks do. Music is indispensable to the world. Maybe it can be even more advanced given more time.
