Singing In The Car Is Good For You

Do you like to sing along to the music while driving? If you do it provides some great health benefits.
For me, I just get caught up in the song. Maybe the tune brings back a favorite time in my life and provides a pleasant memory. Or perhaps the radio song playing fits my current mood. The singing to the music provides a kind of liberating emotion in me.
But I didn't realize the other benefits car singing provides until coming across this online article by "Your Tango." Here are a few healthworthy reasons to turn up the volume and sing at the top of your lungs.
- Improves brain chemistry- releases a body chemical such as endorphins causing a positive effect. In addition, it creates new neuron connections important in compensating for new situations like injury or disease.
- It's great for your heart. Singing gives some of those major muscle groups a workout.
-It lowers stress hormone levels.
-Studies done show it increases life expectancy.
So, are you a car singer and what makes you sing along? And if your not, perhaps you should reconsider. After all, what could it hurt besides the person sitting next to you. ha 
P.S. - the you tube video of Adele and James Corden singing is quite funny. Check it out and see!

While home in London for the holidays, James Corden picks up his friend Adele for a drive around the city singing some of her classic songs before Adele raps...

@dgobucks226 I sound fantastic in the car when the radio’s blasting. I suppose we all do.

Hey, a little harmonizing never hurt anybody. Especially if your driving alone, lol.

I'm a bona fide car singer. Sometimes I will go for a ride, crank up the radio and sing!

What happened? Can't find a station whose music you like? Sometimes for me, a familiar song I just can't help myself, and my voice is not the best, lol.

@ramapo17 Oh yes! A legend in the NYC area. He is in his 80's now. I heard him recently driving. My friend has Sirius radio and he was DJ on there. "Hello Cousins"

@dgobucks226 Too loud music in the car is very bad, you could not hear an ambulance or... the police, chasing you because you are doing what not allowed in your car.

You're right, that's a good point! Not how loud you sing, it's that you enjoy doing it

@dgobucks226 When I worked at Franks Nursery and Home Depot the Christmas music started just before Thanksgiving and went until New Years Day.

Wow, your getting a jump start on Christmas music! I usually start right after Thanksgiving and continue on a couple weeks past the New Year, lol. Once I get started I can't seem to stop myself

Definitely agree there! In the bathroom, doing housework, or in the car, if it adds years to your life why not!

Provides some healthy benefits. If your shy, you could start in the shower first and see how it goes

@playertwo I see your point, but... singing is so much fun and makes me happy. I just pay close attention to the road when I sing and drive. And much safer than drink and drive

i think it is so much better singing in the car than listening with your earphones on in your ears. you cannot listen to the honks of cars behind you.
my son leaves his earphones when he drives.

Maybe the cars behind you are honking their approval to the music your listening to? Just kidding, listening with earphones on and being distracted is dangerous while driving.

I love to sing when I am alone in the car or even when I have the kids with me. Don't even care if the radio is on.

I've done that too.... With downloading music and making your own song playlists for listening, I've become more and more into that vs radio or talk show programming.

@porwest I understand. In this politically charged climate, for me, I need to take a break now and then, lol.

@dgobucks226 I just really like my talk radio. But I am also deeply involved in politics and so I am always interested in what the talking heads have to say about this issue or that issue.

I don't have a car but I often go on Youtube and sing along to my favorite songs. I only stop when someone bangs on my door.

@dgobucks226 I don't see why I should sing in the shower? I don't have a problem. If they have a problem, maybe they should go in the shower and that way they can't hear me.

I cannot sit still if any of the music I like is playing. If I am in my car I am singing as loud as I can and if I am home and put the "oldies" on, or even some other era's, I keep going. Nothing makes me feel better and happy than some good old music. My daughter is like that to and if we are in the car and something comes on we like we have a duet going.

When I used to have cars I would love to put a tape in if had a tape player in the car or turn the radio on and sing along. It passed the time and was fun too.
