What does classical music do to your body?

Specifically, patients who listened to Mozart's Sonata for Two Pianos and Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata demonstrated decreased heart rates and improved oxygen saturation, leading to quicker post-stress recovery. Classical music sounds pleasing to the ear, which in turn improves cognition in the brain.

Welcoming world-class orchestras to Merchant Hall in the new year has us thinking about classical music and its many proven benefits. In the spirit of embarking on a healthy 2020, we thought we’d share four fun facts about health, wellness, and the demonstrated benefits of classical music.

Reduced Blood Pressure

A study published by the journal Deutsches Äerzteblatt International revealed that individuals who listened to Mozart and Strauss experienced significantly lower blood pressure, as well as lower heart rates. Neurologist Michael Schneck theorizes that “the emphasis of listening to the harmonies and rhythms of classical music provide a calming affect for people, thus helping to lower their blood pressure.”

Stress Relief

Feeling blue or just overwhelmed? Listen to classical music, which has been shown to have the same physiological effects as a massage by creating a calming effect that also improves mood.

Healing Properties

The International Journal of Critical Illness and Injury Science found that intensive-care patients suffering from pain, as well as anxiety, depression, and sleep disturbances, benefited from classical music. Specifically, patients who listened to Mozart’s Sonata for Two Pianos and Beethoven’s Moonlight Sonata demonstrated decreased heart rates and improved oxygen saturation, leading to quicker post-stress recovery.

Brain Power Boost

Classical music sounds pleasing to the ear, which in turn improves cognition in the brain. When something sounds nice it increases dopamine (what neurologists call the ‘happiness chemical’) and neurocognition. With these two factors working in tandem, an aging brain stays active and healthy. Therefore, individuals who listen to classical music retain information better and are less likely to have memory loss as they age. (Nelson, B. & Yanek. D., 2019, October. 10 Wondrous Things That Happen to Your Body When You Listen to Classical Music. The Healthy. Thehealthy.com) But don’t just take our word for it.

Who has the highest IQ?

Intelligence is the type of thing that seems like it would be difficult to measure, and the truth is, it is. But that hasn’t stopped us from being fascinated by intelligence tests that attempt to assign a numerical value to how smart we are—and trying to figure out who has the highest IQ in the world. While there is no “standard” intelligence quotient (IQ) test, the scoring tends to be similar across the various versions, with 100 being considered an “average” IQ and anything 140 or above considered genius territory. And though new tests and revisions of existing tests have come and gone over the years, there are a handful that are most commonly used today, including the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale, Stanford-Binet Intelligence Scale, and Peabody Individual Achievement Test. In addition to the tests, there are many different types of intelligence itself, including emotional, musical, visual-spatial, naturalistic, and linguistic-verbal. This is all to say that we should take a person’s IQ scores with a grain (or a pound) of salt—yes, even Albert Einstein’s. In fact, though his IQ is commonly cited as being 160, that’s just an estimate; it’s unlikely that he ever took an IQ test during his lifetime. In fact, given that IQ tests are relatively recent inventions, there is no way of definitively knowing who has the highest IQ of all time. All of those caveats aside, here are 35 people with IQs (either based on testing or an estimate) higher than Einstein’s. And if you want to put your own mind to the test, here are some brain games, brain teasers, and a Mensa IQ test to get you started.
