Playful, creative and sometimes sporty, dancing would also reduce the risk of heart disease and stimulate our sense of coordination and our cognitive abilities, explains a study published in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine.
Researchers at the University of Sydney in Australia carried out a large study with 48,390 participants over the age of 40 with no history of heart disease. Of the participants, 3,100 said they danced regularly.
Scientists found that this group looked younger, had a better than average BMI (body mass index). He was also less affected by long cardiovascular and chronic illnesses. Identical results regardless of the intensity with which the dance was practiced.
