It may be because you live on a busy, noisy street! According to the journal Occupational & Environmental Medicine, regular exposure to traffic noise makes us nearly 30% more likely to be overweight. And the risk is even higher if you’re not just hearing cars – but also planes overhead, trains, or road construction.
Because the noise raises our stress levels. And you know that the more cortisol that’s coursing through us, the more we tend to eat, and the more calories we store as fat.
So what can you do if you live in busy, noisy area? The researchers recommend drowning it out with soothing background music – or a white noise machine… or wearing noise-canceling headphones when you’re eating or need to focus.

Pretend your partner’s snoring is a white noise machine. Here’s the technique: Focus on your senses by feeling the heft of your comforter… The firmness of the mattress… and absorbing the darkness of the room. Then visualize yourself in a setting that has a similar rhythmic sound as snoring – like ocean waves crashing. By associating the snoring with something relaxing, it can help you fall asleep.
