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. The music aspect of the JBL Charge 4 is most important to me because music is something that makes people happy and is a great stress reliever.

  2. Definitely music – As mentioned music changes your perspective and transforms your mood in a way that nothing else can!

  3. It’s music for me. Without music life is boring. When I’m working at home, I want to hear the music loud and clear in every corner of the house. JBL Charge 4 could set the mood for me and enhance the experience!

  4. Good back ground music playing through quality speakers can enhance the social aspect and get people up and about

  5. Music. It can set a mood, it can change your mood. It can be the focus or it can be in the background. With this great speaker it can now be inside or out on the deck, in the forest or by the lake. I need this speaker

  6. Music is essential for parties because it inspires guests to mingle and engage themselves more than usual. JBL speakers would help with there great sound capability.

  7. Music is the most important part to me as it expresses moods and feelings and this JBL product would make it sound all the sweeter.

  8. Music is most important because it sets the mood for the party. Good tunes gets everyone social and dancing!

  9. You need good music to set the mood. And you need great speakers to get that music out. The JBL speakers will help because they’re portable, so you can spread the good vibes everywhere you go.

  10. I would use it for Social reasons, I live with a mental illness and music helps me calm down and relax. I would be lieing if I didn’t say dancing come along with the music <3

  11. I’d say the music, since that is what provides the background atmosphere and the chance to interact by dancing.

  12. When we have a get together it is usually outside – and the JBL Charge 4 would let us take the most important part (the music!) outside with us

  13. Dancing! Connection + Music! Good for physical and mental health. As a nurse, I totally value it!

    I love that the speaker can sync to two cell phone devices, allowing shared DJ responsibility. Awesome!

  14. Music would be my primary choice. But if my name is chosen I may bust a move in celebration.

  15. Music is the most important component of a party because long gaps of silence can be awkward! The JBL Charge 4 would enable me to play music (at a considerate volume) when we’re all down at a beach or a park.

  16. Music is the most important for me, I could really hear those notes if I had this JBL Bluetooth speaker

  17. I vote for music. Because even if you’re not at a party, it can lift your spirits. And a new wireless speaker will stop me from tripping over the cables on my existing wired speaker :-0

  18. We have a farm and are working outside in gardens or with the horses. The JBL Charge 4 would be great.

  19. Music is most important to me and a JBL Charge 4 could enhance my enjoyment of the music by bringing it outside to my hot tub.
