Religious music has a beneficial effect on the elderly

    



A team of scientists from several American universities found that listening to religious music reduces in older people the fear of death, anxiety, increases life satisfaction.
Researchers from the University of Texas, Duke, Massachusetts and other research centers say that listening to religious songs, with older people significantly less worried about death, feel more peaceful and confident. Beneficial effects are equally good experience, both men and women, white and black. Social and economic status, place of residence does not matter. The authors said: "This study shows that listening to religious music may promote psychological well-being in later life. Given that religious music is available to most people, even health problems or physical limitations that preclude participation in more formal aspects of religious life — it can be a valuable resource for the promotion of mental health".
