The best way to explain White Noise is to first look at why it has been given that name. White is used because of the way light works. White light is not an absence of color but is rather a combination of ALL colors. Going along with that same reasoning, White Noise is a combination of ALL frequencies of sound all playing at the same time.Because white noise is actually a combination of all frequencies it is most likely used as a sound blocker....more

Are you a hopeless carbohydrate addict? Let's conquer these cravings once and for all ..By Jeff Lugeanbeal- www.worldwideweightloss.comI drove over to my parents home the a few weeks ago for dinner. I arrived early, and asked my mother if I could help her finish preparing dinner. The smell of mom's pot roast in the oven really got my mouth watering and I couldn't wait for dinner. She sent me to the pantry to retrieve some honey, I opened the pantry and was amazed at what I saw. Of course their was the standard pantry fare, but many other items were lurking in that pantry. Here were a few: crackers, cookies, potato chips, tortilla chips, oatmeal crème pies, white bread, sun chips, frosted corn flake cereal, pop tarts, and popcorn. No kidding, these were all in her pantry. I asked my mother if she ate these items often. She said, "Yes, I'm hungry all the time so I just snack on the stuff all day". She said she eats three meals a day, but gets hungry so she snacks on crackers, chips, etc., then an hour or so later she is hungry again, so she eats more snacks. The carbohydrate frenzy- trigger foodsEating the fore mentioned types of carbohydrates all day will make anyone hungry and...more

I just got through reading some troubling news in the New York Times this morning.62% of employees now say that work-related stress leaves them overwhelmed and overtired.And for many of us, who bring work home from the office, the problem is even worse.So what's going on?Why are most of us so stressed?I'll tell you what a major part of the problem is lack of job security.I remember as I was growing up, my father only had two jobs. He was a high school teacher for the earlier part of his life, and later on he went into the real estate profession.Two jobs, and they spanned his entire lifetime!And the one career change he made was something he wanted to do. He didn't make the change because he was losing his job as a teacher. In fact, the school district wanted him to stay.But that's a far cry from the way things are today. In fact, the days of job stability, and working for a single employer for your entire working career are long gone.You'll probably change jobs at least 11 times before you retire.Downsizing, rapid business expansion and outsourcing are terms that we're all too familiar with.Before I got involved in the health industry and started my own indoor air quality ...more
