Stop a Heart Attack by Coughing
Coughing deeply would cause a pumping action that would cause blood to be pushed through the body and to the brain. Coughing also increases and decreased chest pressure, which can raise a slow heart rate, increase cardiac output, and sometimes stop an arrhythmia. Taking deep breaths get oxygen into the lungs and coughing causes the heart to squeeze and helps the the blood to circulate. The squeezing pressure on the heart also helps it to have a normal rhythm.

Music Increases Energy Levels When Exercising
It is found that upbeat music can increase the flow of the hormone adrenaline and increase energy levels to help a person workout longer.

To benefit the most, the song’s tempo should be four to five beats higher than a person’s heart rate.
