Electromagnetic radiation emitted from devices such as phones, iPads, computers, TVs, microwaves, power lines, and Wi-Fi is harmful to humans. They can damage skin cells, cause skin discoloration, disrupt sleep, cause headaches, and even lead to cancer. Electromagnetic radiation (EMF) is a type of non-ionizing radiation (with frequencies between microwaves and radio waves) that is invisible but can be measured using a handheld EMF detector. Scientists warn against the dangers of this type of radiation, but many people are oblivious to it. Here are some ways to reduce the harm caused by EMF:
Keep distance from devices
The closer and longer you are exposed to devices, the more you are affected. Therefore, keeping a distance and minimizing usage time is the best way to protect yourself. Keep a safe distance from electronic devices such as Wi-Fi routers, laptops, and mobile phones. Try to stand at least an arm’s length away from them whenever possible. The amount of wireless radiation absorbed by the body decreases rapidly as you increase the distance from the devices. Avoid using phones and computers when not necessary. Limit excessive phone usage.
Use wired connections
Wired connections are better than Wi-Fi. Therefore, if you have the option to use wired connections, turn off the Wi-Fi. This will help reduce your exposure to radio frequency (RF) radiation emitted by wireless devices.
Turn off electronic devices when not in use
Avoid leaving electronic devices on while sleeping or when they are not needed. Turn off the TV and computer to reduce exposure to radiation. Additionally, this will help you save energy and reduce utility bills.
Use headphones instead of placing the phone near your ear
Placing the phone near your ear is harmful to both your ears and your skin. Therefore, you can use external speakers instead of placing the phone near your ear to reduce your exposure to RF radiation emitted by mobile phones. Moreover, using headphones can help reduce tension in your neck and shoulders caused by holding the phone to your ear for extended periods.
Reduce device usage time
Nowadays, we tend to use phones and computers excessively, and upon reflection, we realize that much of the usage time is unnecessary. Therefore, limit the amount of time you spend using devices and take regular breaks to reduce your exposure to EMF radiation, improve eye strain, and overall physical and mental well-being.
Drink more green tea
Green tea is rich in antioxidants, which can help you reduce the effects of radiation. Green tea also has detoxifying properties, promotes healing, boosts the immune system, neutralizes free radicals, relieves pain, lifts mood, and lowers blood pressure… If you don’t have a habit of drinking green tea, you can substitute it with chamomile tea. Chamomile tea also has the anti-radiation effect and regulates the body’s functions. Drinking green tea or orange juice can help you recover faster from the effects of this radiation.
Ensure sufficient vitamin intake
Vitamins are also good nutrients that help you combat the effects of electromagnetic radiation. Vitamin K reduces blood loss; vitamin PP reduces nausea and vomiting; vitamin C promotes cell regeneration. Therefore, you should consume foods such as honey, seaweed, cabbage, carrots, and mushrooms… It is best to supplement vitamins through natural fruit consumption.
Drink enough water, especially when working with electronic devices
Water is essential, but many people tend to drink insufficient amounts, especially during winter. Drinking water helps cleanse your body, protect your skin, and better protect against the harmful effects of radiation.
Grow more plants
Some indoor plants have the ability to absorb toxins through their leaves and naturally purify the air in your home. Peace lilies, chrysanthemums, snake plants, and aloe vera can help improve indoor air quality. You can also consider adding more indoor plants to help improve air quality and reduce the harmful effects of electronic devices.
