Choir singing can ease irritable bowels

May 19, 2010 by Allen H Simon Leave a Comment

Singing is a popular pursuit in the Nordic countries and while it is often associated with alcohol consumption it can also have positive health effects – such as easing irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), Swedish research suggests.
 
Singing has been found to stimulate elevated oxytocin concentration in serum, and the study hoped to shed light on whether choir singing can aid anabolic regeneration, measured from saliva testosterone, and ease the symptoms of IBS, whose sufferers typically register low levels of oxytocin.
