Music For Stress Relief



Relaxing can sometimes be a challenge for ACAs. Adult children of alcoholics have a higher incidence of anxiety, eating disorders, over-achieving and other forms of compulsive behavior. They may be more susceptible to chronic diseases including depression and heart disease.

Listening to music has been found to increase serotonin levels and reduce heart rates. According to the American Society of Hypertension, listening to half an hour of music each day may significantly lower your blood pressure.
