In the world we live in now, technology and electronic devices are part of our daily lives. Mobile phones, tablets, computers and other gadgets are all around us. But as we use them more and more, we are constantly exposed to the electromagnetic frequencies they emit.
Recent research warns us that such exposure can be harmful to our health. Therefore, it is important to consider a “digital detox” to reduce exposure to these electromagnetic frequencies and protect our health. In this article we will go through together some information that we hope will bring clarity.
What are electromagnetic frequencies?
Throughout the day, you are surrounded by electromagnetic fields. You wake up to the alarm on your phone. When you get to work, you turn on your laptop and connect to the Internet. At lunch, you microwave leftovers from last night's dinner. On the way back from work, you turn on the radio or talk on the phone with your loved ones.
After dinner, you use the remote control to turn on the TV and watch your favorite shows. And there are probably dozens of other points of contact with electromagnetic fields that you are completely unaware of.
All devices with radio waves or Wi-Fi connection emit electric and magnetic fields, often called EMFs. Recent research in mice has shown a correlation, depending on exposure levels and frequencies, between low-frequency electromagnetic fields and the development of cancer cells.
These EMFs can cause cellular damage similar to other health hazards such as pollution, smoking and poor diet. But you don't have to give up all wireless electronics—you can combat any potential negative effects with specific foods and proper nutrition.
Electromagnetic frequencies are the energy waves or fields that are generated by electronic devices and wireless communications. They include:
- radiation emitted by mobile phones,
- wifi,
- 4G and 5G networks,
but also other electronic equipment such as:
- routers and
- the televisions.
Although research into the exact effects of these frequencies is ongoing, there are some concerns about their impact on our health.
Natural sources of electromagnetic fields
Electromagnetic fields are present everywhere in our environment, but they are invisible to the human eye. Electric fields are generated by the local accumulation of electrical charges in the atmosphere associated with thunderstorms.
The Earth's magnetic field determines the orientation of a compass in the north-south direction and is used by birds and fish for navigation.
Tips for Avoiding Electromagnetic Frequencies
Here are some simple tips you can follow to reduce your exposure to electromagnetic frequencies and protect your health:
- Limit screen time: Reduce the use of mobile phone, tablet and computer only to what is strictly necessary. Take regular breaks and try to step away from your devices to rest your eyes and brain.
- Use headphones or hands-free devices: When talking on the phone, use headphones or hands-free devices to reduce exposure to cell phone radiation.
- Avoid holding your phone close to your body: Try to keep your mobile phone away from your body, for example by using a special bag or case to carry it.
- Turn off WiFi at night: Turn off WiFi at night or when not in use to reduce radiation exposure while you sleep.
- Choose devices with low emissions: When buying a new electronic device, check the specifications and choose one with low radiation emissions.
- Create a radiation free zone: Try to create an area in your home or office where you can reduce your exposure to electromagnetic radiation. You can do this by placing electronic equipment further away from the area where you spend time or by using special shielding against radiation.
- Spend time in nature: Try to spend more time outdoors and in nature, away from technology and electronic devices. This will help you refresh and relax in an environment less exposed to electromagnetic radiation.
Care and recovery from overexposure to electromagnetic radiation
If you are concerned about your past exposure to electromagnetic radiation and want to take steps to protect your health, here are some tips that may help:
- Consult a doctor or health professional: If you have concerns about your previous exposure to radiation and the possible effects on your health, it is always recommended to consult a doctor or health care professional. They can give you advice and recommendations tailored to your specific situation.
- Adopt a healthy lifestyle: A healthy lifestyle can support the body's regeneration and repair processes. Make sure you eat a balanced, nutrient-dense diet and exercise regularly. Rest and stress reduction are also important for supporting the immune system and the body's ability to recover.
- It creates a low emission environment: Gradually replace electronic devices with high radiation emissions with newer versions that have lower emissions. You can also use radiation protection products and materials, such as screen protectors or special covers for mobile phones.
