Hello everyone, these days I have been studying the scientific and health benefits of Dancing, and I am encouraging everyone in the Asha communities to Dance!
While there are hundreds of articles on the health benefits of dancing, I am sending a link to this one from Harvard Medical School called Dancing and the Brain.
Brain Science clearly demonstrates the various centers that are stimulated when we dance. Here are some of the amazing benefits:
- increased levels of the feel good hormone Serotonin
- release of endorphins, relieving stress and anxiety
- improved condition of your -heart and lungs
- increased muscular strength, endurance and motor fitness
- increased aerobic fitness
- improved muscle tone and strength
- stronger bones and reduced risk of osteoporosis
- improved balance and spatial awareness
- increased physical confidence
- improved mental functioning
- improved general and psychological wellbeing
Here are some pictures of Dancing in the Asha Slums!
