Music positively influences gut health, as studies indicate that it raises beneficial microbes like Lactobacillus while reducing harmful pathogens. Research has shown that playing specific compositions, such as Mozart's, can enhance microbial diversity in mice. In contrast, white noise appears to have detrimental effects on gut bacteria. Furthermore, human studies reveal that music can have beneficial effects on oral microbes, illustrating its wide-ranging impact on microbiome health. Music also affects brain chemistry by releasing dopamine, which may contribute to its therapeutic applications across varied health conditions.
A Chinese study with mice found that playing music led to higher levels of Lactobacillus in their gut, which increased the acidity enough to deter Salmonella infections.
Mozart's music is often used and seems to have a largely positive effect on beneficial gut bacteria.
Playing dinner music while mice ate boosted beneficial bacteria and reduced pathogenic bacteria, differing significantly from the effects of white noise.
Music affects our brain chemistry, releasing dopamine and reining in cortisol, the stress hormone, influencing a wide variety of medical conditions.
