Anyone know if singing is related to health???

Hey is singing related to health? I think it is but i don't have specific information. . .

studies have found that making music--singing or playing an instrument--can benefit seniors by reducing the risk of dementia as well as lessening the pain and stiffness of ailments such as arthritis. In fact, it's the multiple dimensions of music making--combining intellectual, physical, and social aspects--that appear to set it apart from other cognitively stimulating activities--like crossword puzzles, for instance--and that also can help keep us mentally alert even as we age.
"Music exercises the brain and the body," says Olsen, who enjoys the stimulation of learning new music and also finds himself "breathing more deeply and sitting up straighter," since he joined the choir a year ago. "Singing is a very physical process, and when you're making your music your body responds as if you were giving it a physical workout," says Eric Roter, a physician and musician who runs the website ermusic.org, which reviews the connections between music and medicine.
