When you feel younger than your actual age, it may be a health benefit, according to recent studies. A Washington Post story summarizing the findings says: “Older adults who feel young at heart may not only live longer, but may also have more life satisfaction, lower dementia risk, reduced depression symptoms, and better health in the future.” Well, hey.
Part of that formula is certainly tapping into the right sort of artistic inspiration. So, today we’ll celebrate music that makes us feel young at heart.
For today’s 9:30 Coffee Break, which songs that tap into your fountain of youth should we play?
