If you’re 65 or older, you’re most prone to stroke, particularly, when you’re exposed to road traffic noise with noise level of above 60 decibels — study says.

Lead researcher Mette Sorensena of the Danish Cancer Society said that “previous studies have linked traffic noise with raised blood pressure and heart attacks”. He added that “noise acts as a stressor and disturbs sleep, which results in increased blood pressure and heart rate, as well as increased level of stress hormones”.

For people lower than 65, traffic noise is still a large contributor of stress and disturbance.

Uncontrolled/unmanaged stress is the most common contributing factor to various human diseases. An article by National Institute of Child Health and Human Development pointed out the effects of (bad) stress on the following:

Effect on reproductive system

Stress hormones inhibit the testes and ovaries directly, thereby, hindering the production of the male and female sex hormones testosterone, estrogen, and progesterone.

Effect on gastrointestinal tract

Digestive problem – stress hormones directly hinder the release of stomach acid

high levels of cortisol – increase appetite and lead to weight gain. Overeating is common among people who are under stress.

Effect on the immune system

Vulnerability to colds and flu, fatigue and infections

And many other stress-related diseases…

HOW TO COMBAT TRAFFIC NOISE AND THE STRESS IT BRINGS TO PEOPLE

Drink green barley everyday. 30ml of green barley will make a great difference in your life.

• it boosts your immune system
• it aids the body in combating any tiredness associated with prolonged exposure to traffic, road noise, and other stressors
• you have the protection from the chemicals you get from gasoline and exposure to car exhausts
• green barley is an antioxidant - it destroys free radicals (pollution, pesticides, combustion, sunlight, etc)

ASTHMA
- Barley is good for asthma due to the presence of Vitamin C plus Arginine needed in the formation of procollagen Type III. When the supply of collagen in our body is sufficient, it prevents constriction of the bronchial tubes, making the flow of oxygen normal.
- It also cleans foreign waste materials such as sputum present in the bronchial tubes.
- It contains chlorophyll, a potent anti-inflammatory and anti-allergy component, which prevents bronchial constriction.
