If you hum while you read this, your body could experience beneficial side effects from the vibrations. For one, the resulting oscillation as you exhale helps circulate healthy nitric-rich air within the nasal sinuses, which creates a better environment to help protect against pathogens.

(12,904 posts)I got a few hot flashes for a couple of years. I got a bad one while driving once, so I turned up the radio and started singing
loud.
I dont know if it eased my symptoms, or just distracted me, but it really seemed to calm the situation. A couple times, when around others, I hummed softly to myself. Same result.
Funny to see it in print.

(14,906 posts)singing, probably humming, and even shouting moves the cerebral fluids around, and probably helps to flush out toxins.
