Are there any drivers that don\u2019t enjoy singing songs in the car from time to time? It\u2019s something almost all of us indulge in from time to time\u2014some more so than others. And why not? Your car is the perfect spot to enjoy your favorite tunes or practice your karaoke jams. The acoustics are second only, perhaps, to your shower. And, what\u2019s more, studies have shown that singing in the car can have a number of positive effects on your physical and mental health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Studies have shown that, among other things, listening to music and singing in the car can increase antibodies that improve your immunity, help alleviate stress and depression, increase dopamine oxytocin (a hormone that\u2019s released in the brain when we feel loved, relaxed, and stable) levels in the brain, and more. Don\u2019t just lip sync, either: studies say that the act of belting along to your favorite tunes involves taking deep breaths that relax your diaphragm, releasing tension in your body.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So what makes a good song for singing in the car? Obviously, sing whatever songs you like, whether you know all the words or you\u2019re making them up on the go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Clearly, songs about roads were made for singing on the road. This classic from The Boss is no exception.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
