Play Drums to Fight Infection

A Daily Mail Article caught my eye recently reporting the benefits of “30 tiny tweaks guaranteed to transform your health

No. 24 on the list… PLAY DRUMS TO FIGHT INFECTION

“AS stress-busting measures go, it’s hard to beat drumming. But the benefits go way beyond just easing mental pressure.

US researchers found playing the drums also increases the production of infection-fighting T-cells by our immune system, helping us to ward off viruses like flu.

Stroke researchers say drumming helps victims recover as the repetitive arm and leg movements helps to ‘rewire’ circuits in the brain that are damaged after being starved of oxygen-rich blood.”

I’m not a doctor so I checked around on other websites and found this DRUMEO page (one of my favourite sites) which appears to back this claim up.

If you would like to feel the benefits of playing the drums then get in touch. Even if the health benefits aren’t as life changing as people claim, playing the drums is still great fun. So what have you got to loose?
