Difficulty remembering recent events and conversations is one of the first signs of Alzheimer’s, according to the Mayo Clinic. As the disease progresses, memory impairment intensifies, increasingly affecting the person’s ability to work and carry out daily activities.
However, according to experts, there are areas of the brain associated with memory that the disease does not affect as much.
“People with Alzheimer’s often have musical memories. Research shows that listening to music or singing songs can positively influence the emotions and behaviors of people with Alzheimer’s and other forms of dementia. “– in the journal Neuroscience.
In addition, music can also benefit those who take care of sick relatives. It is able to reduce their level of anxiety and stress, cheer up and allows them not to lose contact with loved ones who, due to an illness, have difficulty in communicating.
