What a lovely episode on the benefits of art for our health. I was fascinated to hear about the growing scientific evidence that engaging with the arts can have actual health benefits, and particularly loved that the “arts” we’re talking about here are just the "high brow" types of art.
It left me wondering how I could integrate more creative practices into my day-to-day life, but also why, if the evidence is growing, arts programmes are so often the first to have their funding cut. Perhaps this kind of research might start to change that?
