Here's a music related health tip I read today:

If you're trying to protect your health with some stress-reducing tunes, tap your foot and sing along. Research shows that music has more immunity-boosting potential when people 'actively participate' in it, rather than passively listen to it. In one study, people who kept the beat and sang along with a 30-minute music session had a greater increase in antibody concentrations compared to people who only listened to the music.

May I ask what is the source of these research findings that you're sharing with us? Newspaper, research magazine/journal?

Since we are into research, you might like to check this one. It's about musicians' brains... Hi, big and sensitive friends
