How Music Affects Your Health

 I gather some articles that have scientific facts that back up the idea that music can affect you mentally and physically. Here are some ways:

• Music helps boost your immune system.
• Slower music can make a person eat fewer amounts of food, While faster pace music can make a person eat more amounts of food.
•  Music can also be used to bring a more positive state of mind, helping to keep depression and anxiety at bay.
• Visual and hearing development
• Mental concentration

LANISHA COLE

In my opinion, She is one of the prettiest Video Model's EVER(and not to mention she resembles my cousin)! This model and "Price Is Right" Beauty has been in many popular music video's from Jon B.'s 'Don't Talk' to The Roots 'Break You Off', and recently Eric Benet's 'Never Want To Live Without You'.
