Noise Pollution & Your Brain, From Peterson Chiropractic

RIDGEFIELD, CT — Peterson Chiropractic & Wellness shares a new video series called "Brain-Based Wellness News." Each week the practice shares a new topic on how brain-based wellness can help patients with a variety of ailments. In this week's news, the practice looks at noise pollution.

We live in a world where the volume of TV, music, and smartphones fill the void with white noise.
Silence and solitude are constantly disrupted by the sounds of technology with calls, texts, and emails.

The World Health Organization recently reported evidence that exposure to environmental noise is having adverse effects on the health of the population. More and more people are beginning to seek out quiet, whether it is through a tranquil walk during lunch breaks or the daily practice of sitting for 10 minutes in silence.

Click here to view this week's video and learn how a modern plague known as noise pollution can have negative effects on your health.

Some science-supported means in which silence benefits your brain, health and life are:

• Silence relieves stress and tension.
• Silence replenishes your cognitive resources involved in high-order thinking, decision-making and problem-solving.
• Silence helps you tap into your thoughts, ideas, emotions and memories.
• Silence supports the regeneration of new brain cells associated with learning, memory and emotion.

Making time for silence can help you feel less stressed, more focused and more creative. Chiropractic care has been found to help people better manage symptoms tied to the stressors in our environment.

Get regular chiropractic checkups for the whole family, and make sure your spine and your brain are working the best they can. Your health will be better because of it.
