In a loud and distracting world, finding pockets of stillness can benefit your brain and body. Here are four science-backed reasons why.

Why Silence Is So Good For Your Brain 56d8bfe11e0000950070f41a

We live in a loud and distracting world, where silence is increasingly difficult to come by -- and that may be negatively affecting our health.

In fact, a 2011 World Health Organization report called noise pollution a "modern plague," concluding that "there is overwhelming evidence that exposure to environmental noise has adverse effects on the health of the population."

We're constantly filling our ears with music, TV and radio news, podcasts and, of course, the multitude of sounds that we create nonstop in our own heads. Think about it: How many moments each day do you spend in total silence? The answer is probably very few.

As our internal and external environments become louder and louder, more people are beginning to seek out silence, whether through a practice of sitting quietly for 10 minutes every morning or heading off to a 10-day silent retreat.
