Unsurprisingly, rock and roll is good for you – especially AC/DC.
During a recent appearance on the “AC/DC Beyond The Thunder” podcast, Dr. Mark Jude Tramos, MD PhD shared the health benefits of listening to the band.
The former Director of the Institute for Music & Brain Science, Department of Neurology, Harvard Medical School and Mass General Hospital said that AC/DC’s music releases dopamine and endorphins in the brain, which can improve a listener’s happiness.
Dr. Tramos also said that the band’s music can help improve muscle activity, heart rate, blood pressure, and feelings of anxiety.
Following a German medical study from 2022 that showed listening to rock music led to an increase in efficiency in the operating room, Lifesaving Radio released an album to help surgeons during procedures in March.
Lifesaving Radio is “The world’s first album and AI radio station clinically designed to improve surgical performance and help surgeons save lives.”
“To help surgical teams stay efficient, energized, and in the zone when lives are on the line, we rewrote the songs of AC/DC, the band clinically shown to amplify surgical precision, then customized the OR audio experience to maximize its surgical effect,” states the company.
NextMed Health and Klick Health debuted Highway to Heal, which includes songs like Shoot to Drill and EKG, performed by professional AC/DC tribute musicians.
