1. Live Like a Warrior -Matistisyahu
Music therapy is defined by the American Psychological Association as "evidence based use of music in clinical situations that help people reach desired health outcomes". Music has been found to help reduce stress, decrease anxiety, and improve heart function. Yes! Even heart health! Dr. Levin from American Psychological Association supports this further, "We've seen evidence now that music can alter brain chemistry and even the production of cytokines, immunoglobin A, and other components of a healthy immune system". That is pretty amazing! "Sound is an important and profound force in our lives. The more we exercise our sound processing in the brain, the better the brain becomes at making sense of sound and the world around us. Music does this more than any other sound". -National Institute of Health We have complied all the songs from the above list onto a Spotify
