Health and Entertainment!
So what are your plans on the longest day of the year? Whatever your plans are, there is enough time for you to keep yourself healthy and entertained because it is International Yoga and World Music Day today!
Listening to music and practicing yoga are activities that despite their differences and origins are inherently similar: They make us feel good and enhance our well being. Music is as old as the human race and has remained a constant through the evolution of culture within our species. And just like yoga, studies have shown that music has physiological benefits as well.
It’s impossible to completely avoid stress in our lives. However, you can reduce its frequency and intensity. If the biggest source of your stress is work, then you should do your best to maintain a work-life balance. It’s a well-known fact that music and meditation have many great benefits for stress management and mental health. Furthermore, listening to music, if done properly, can be a kind of meditation itself!
Finding appropriate music for your daily meditation and yoga might seem like a task. Google Assistant can now help you find the tune you need for your routine. All you have to do is ask “Ok Google, play yoga music” or “OK Google, play meditation music”.
And now, by utilizing Cloud Functions and the Youtube Data API, you can learn to build an Assistant application that takes in a user’s favorite music artist and generates their top ranking songs with links and thumbnails with the Google Assistant: Build a Youtube Entertainment App Lab!
