Why would I want to do that?
Like I said, I am no expert in this specific area, but from my understanding (and what I have been told from the friend of mine who's been teaching natural health for about 25 years) this is one of the bodies modes of NO production that carries with it all the benefits you've heard of resulting from increased NO levels.
So, why would you want to do that? I don't know maybe you wouldn't. I'm just passing on what I thought some may find as helpful information. If it works, it is alot better than popping pills, which I refuse to do particularly when they are synthetically derived and of pharmaceutical style.
Side note: According to the JAMA (Journal of the American Medical Association) properly prescribed, properly taken Pharmaceutical drugs are the 4th largest killer in the US. When combined with Medical mistakes the "system" overtakes diabetes and claims the 3rd position of largest killers. This leaves only Cancer and Cardiovascular disease to be more prominent in fatality than the allopathic medical system itself.
My attitude is... Humming is easy and virtually therapeutic in it's own right, why not? If this information merely causes me to "verbalize" the song in my heart with greater consistency that by itself is a health benefit. Of course, as stated above it may carry with it benefits that go beyond the historically acknowledged.
Who cares? Perhaps not you. I do. Someone else may. Perhaps no one will. Who knows? I don't. I personally do hum considerably more now.
If anyone does desire additional information on this subject, I am not the appropriate source. I regret to inform you that you will have to do your own research. This was intended to be an "info bulletin" style post, not one I intend on nursing along.
