in this crazy loud and fast-paced world that we live in scientists are warning
that our best health is found in moments of silence how is your noisy lifestyle
harming your health and what can you do about it
when we are considering how to best improve our health there are a number of
factors that immediately come to mind we strive to eat healthier more round diets
eliminating processed foods and sugar at every chance possible sign up for the
local gym or take up running improving our physical activity levels or we
reassess the quality of sleep considering new mattresses blackout
curtains sleep sound machines and any other solution to getting a full
undisturbed night of rest however are we really covering all our bases scientists
and researchers warn that we are overlooking a potential killer in our
midst flying under the radar undetected the big risk factor that most of us are
overlooking noise that may sound crazy to even consider in today's society
especially if you live in a larger city after all the city never sleeps we find
ourselves using sound machines and music to drown out the noises around us in the
hope of creating a calm comfortable environment however even those small
noises that we don't even acknowledge such as the buzz of your computer
running or the hum of many modern-day appliances may have a lasting impact
most of the studies that have currently been conducted revolve around larger
sound levels such as living near an airport or a busy highway but this
information can be applied on a smaller scale in any of our lives for example
one study out of London's Heathrow Airport revealed that the noise
associated with being around aircraft increases your chance of hospital
admission or death dude cardiovascular disease coronary heart
disease or stroke another revealed that just attend
decibel average increase in exposure to aircraft noise led to an increase in
stroke heart attack and high blood pressure that ranged from 7% to 17%
exclamation mark furthermore for those that are currently dealing with mental
health struggles noise pollution is said to be even more irritating known as
noise annoyance this response to noise pollution can create feelings of
irritation annoyance disturbance or upset which when amplified in those that
are already struggling with their mood or mental health can drive people even
further into darkness the increased he rotational so amplify the stress levels
that we are currently experiencing adding to the pressure that it puts on
our body both physically and mentally while noise pollution such as that from
aircraft or traffic will obviously impact our lives on a greater level
researchers warn even the smallest amount of noise is robbing us of the
benefits associated with silence allowing us to balance our minds slow
our heart rates and release the ever mounting level of stress that most of us
carry on a regular basis one of the best moves we can make for our physical
mental and emotional health is to schedule some downtime into our day find
a small block of time even if it's just 10 minutes first thing during your
morning coffee where you can be in the moment push all thoughts of your busy
day ahead the to-do list waiting at the office or the fact the kids are about to
wake up and destroy your presently clean home instead embrace this one brief
quiet moment after all it's for your health
