Last but not least: Healthy thanks to art
Finally, some good news: People who regularly attend theater performances and art exhibitions—or show an interest in culture in other ways—live healthier lives.
Forget sport, healthy eating and the annual resolution to stop smoking - you don't need any of that. All you need is art. In any case, a researcher at the University of Rome has discovered in a study that people who are interested in art recover more quickly from a stroke than those who are not interested in culture. Regardless of the severity of the stroke, a difference could be proven. It is assumed that the brain changes positively when people engage with art - so that it also recovers better structurally.
So: go to the theater, listen to music and watch Arte - your health will thank you for it.
