Health Information about How to Improve Your Mental Health by Listening to Old Time Radio Shows

Recently, there was a study conducted on recalling of positive memories which has been cited in Prevention Magazine.  It has been said that in this study, participants spent ten minutes twice a day recalling positive memories.  They reported that only after a week, there have been effects to those participants such as the greater sense of well-being, cheerfulness and even improvements in their blood work analysis.  In addition, there are about number of studies which shows the beneficial results of music therapy even to the Alzheimer’s patients.  Even though there’s no direct study connecting the old time radio and memory, still many customers testify that old time radio has a comparable effect.

Our clients are usually extending their experience as they write to us about the good benefits of having old time radio to family members or friends with memory impairment.  We understand that it’s normal for an individual to experience loss of memory because of aging. Based from casual observation, it seems that old time radio can help people who suffer memory ailment or related issues. Evidence noted that many Alzheimer’s patients are able to recall long-term memories through old time shows or old time radio which helps them to remember positive memories.

There was one particular customer who reported that his mom with memory impairment was able to recall exact details from a Jack Benny episode—right down to the punch lines! Another customer testified that his aunt enjoyed the old time radio shows so much that the nursing staff asked if they could share the programs with the rest of the ward.  The shows were enjoyed by many of them and they were really encouraged and prompted on interesting and lively discussion as they recall the special memories of golden age of radio.  My great aunt who also suffered from complications of Alzheimer’s disease, but before she passed away, she enjoyed listening to music that brought her warm feeling- and I believe that it was something she and her children could do together while battling against her disease.

If countless people enjoy and benefit from the old time radio, absolutely there would be many of your friends and family members that would enjoy some old radio shows comedy or musical to have blissful moment with you.  Considering, many people that suffer memory impairment need attention, companionship and affection.

Whether the shows can help you recall good memories or simply sharing the old time radio with younger folk, come to visit OTRCAT.com today and enjoy an episode or two from the thousands of recordings available online for free.  I would recommend positive comedy shows like Jack Benny, Bergen and McCarthy, Fibber McGee and Molly, Phil Harris and Alice Faye.
