Parties are good for your overall health

I’m no doctor, and although I’ve seen my share of TED Talks, I’ll ask you to please take my findings with a grain of salt. But in my 32 years on this planet, one thing seems more and more evident: A happy life = better health. Now, there are a multitude of components that comprise a happy life, but the more I read the literature and watch the videos, I’m convinced that one event combines more than a couple of these components: a party. My definition of party, by the way, is two or more people coming together for the purpose of enjoying food, entertainment, and each other’s company. I’m not just talking about a 20-hour group rager, although I don’t disapprove of those kinds of get-togethers either (in moderation.)

Here’s why I believe parties are good for your health:

  1. Social: Loneliness creates mental health issues and impacts longevity. A party isn’t just about letting loose, it’s a ritual of belonging: people come together to connect with and be a part of their community.
  2. Music: Music changes your perspective and transforms your mood. It improves your blood circulation and lowers your levels of stress-related hormones, such as cortisol. Music also strengthens emotional regulation and promotes benefits in attention and memory.
  3. Dancing: Not just a great cardiovascular workout, dancing is like a visit to the gym—but fun! Dancing strengthens bones and muscles, improves balance, and even staves off illnesses. You don’t have to be a phenomenal dancer to reap the benefits, you just have to move your body to the beat!
A good party doesn’t have to incorporate all three of these components, but a great party usually does. All you need is a select soundtrack and a speaker that pumps out the playlists with enough power to do each song justice. That’s where Charge 4 enters the narrative.

JBL Charge 4 makes a good time great

Charge 4 is just the ticket for planned parties, impromptu get-togethers, and chillaxing hangouts. It pairs with your smartphone for wireless Bluetooth streaming, and can even connect to another smartphone at the same time, so you can share DJ responsibilities with a friend. A specialized driver and dual bass radiators deliver full spectrum sound that immerses everyone in the anthems that are sure to get them moving and having a great time.
Charge 4 is made to go where you go. Think about it. It’s easier to bring great audio to the people than to bring the people to great audio, which means portable speakers like Charge 4 make it easier than ever to get a great party started. Gentle handling is fine, but Charge 4 has Keith-Richards-like longevity. This road dog will survive the rough-and-tumble of an on-the-go lifestyle filled with parties in different places. It can even withstand a plunge in the pool or having a glass of water thrown in its face!
Twenty hours of playtime means this Bluetooth speaker also possesses enough stamina to go the distance at one of those non-stop ragers I mentioned earlier. And because all our music is accessed on our smartphones these days, JBL Charge 4 works double duty as a power bank, so you can connect your phone via USB and charge while your songs play.
You can sync up to 100 JBL speakers when you want to amp up the sound to epic proportions, so if any of your friends own a JBL speaker that’s Connect+ enabled, ask them to bring it along. Now you’ve got a great party on your hands!

  1. Dancing is the best part of a party, for which you need music. This portable speaker could take the music anywhere we need to dance.

  2. Music is the component most important and the JBL Charge 4 would enhance our party with friends because each person could choose the music they want to hear.

  3. Music. It sets the mood for the party so could lead to dancing and sets the tone for socializing.

  4. Music is the most important, so being able to listen to some tunes anytime & anywhere, without any wires, would make it awesome!

  5. even though the three of them are important, music is the core so dancing and socializing happens

  6. Music sets the tone for every gathering. Having a great speaker as this will take any party to the next level.

  7. I’m not much of a dancer but I truly enjoy the company of my friends. Throw on a chill playlist whenever I have company over which helps everyone connect with one another. Social, and music, go hand in hand for me. Always nice to have some sort of ambiance! 🙂

  8. Dancing is definitely the main component for me and with the JBL Charge 4 we can easily dance anywhere!

  9. I love dancing. With this portable speaker, I would be able to start a dance party anywhere.

  10. Social! This would be great at a party or gathering from a backyard to kitchen to living room… perfect for anywhere to keep the music going!

  11. Music is the Language of the Soul. The JBL Charge 4 Speakers would enhance the musical aspect of a party by simply using it. The fact that two people can share their differing song choices is a huge plus to make a party that much better.

  12. music is most important for me as the speaker will be perfect on my deck for the entire family to enjoy all spring and summer

  13. My daughter loves listening to music as it relaxes her and we all seem to work better with it in the back ground.

  14. Trick question! A party is always better when there’s great food that puts a smile on your face, and which enhances the schmoozing, energy for dancing, and makes the music more pleasing to everybody.

  15. Social: Music and friends. Great clarity from this JBL bluetooth while with my friends. Definitely make the day better

  16. Music is most important for me – this speaker would help me listen to my fave music with my family!

  17. I love the portable-ness of these speakers. It’s so nice to be able to take these small speakers wherever I go and get great audio anywhere!

  18. Spring is coming soon n my son love going on picnics with his friends. This would be definitely useful for those trips as the music doesn’t sound that long on the phone.

  19. I think Music is always the most important and is the foundation of any good party. This is because out of music can stem both a good conversation starter as well as turn into a dance partner.

  20. The JBL Charge 4 speaker would be great to listen to music. Music is the energy from which all dancing, socializing and good moods flow.

  23. The social aspect is most important for me; the JBL Charge 4 can help by setting the perfect atmosphere and environment for great discussions!

  24. Music means more to me the older I get. Maybe it is because of my disability but remembering the times and tunes can be a highlight of my day. It is surprising how a single phrase from a song can make the memories flood back. Not that I don’t like all music but the rock and roll that I grew up with is some of the best music that ever was. I have to admit there was some awful stuff too. Even the awful stuff is fun to listen too and remember how wonderful we all thought it was at the time. I have a JBL Charge 3 and can’t think of anything better than a JBL Charge 4. Music in every room and I take it with me so I have music whenever and wherever I want it.
