Could you live without your smartphone? A lot of people can\u2019t even imagine putting it away at night. We have our phones within arm\u2019s reach practically 24-7. Even though they are considered safe, we aren\u2019t completely sure about the effects of long-term exposure. Let\u2019s look at a few ways to limit the radiation from your phone as a precaution.<\/strong>
\n<\/p>\n

Some research suggests that long-term, high use of mobile phones may impact human health. They emit radio frequency (RF) energy when they send and receive signals, and that is the cause for concern, especially with kids. Children are getting phones at younger and younger ages when their brains are still developing and may be more affected by mobile phone use.<\/p>\n

Microwave Cooking – Does It Kill Nutrients and Damage Our Health?<\/span><\/h3>\n <\/a>\n <\/div>\n <\/article>\n<\/div>\n

In December last year, the California Department of Public Health issued guidance for those who want to decrease their exposure to the RF energy emitted from phones. This is what they recommend:<\/p>\n

Keep your phone away from your body<\/strong><\/h2>\n

If you can, avoid holding your phone to your head, use the loud-speaker or a headset instead, or send text messages instead of talking on the phone.
\nMake an extra effort to keep your phone away from your body when it\u2019s handling a lot of data like streaming video, updating apps, and downloading or sending large files.
\nCarry your phone in a backpack or briefcase \u2013 not in a pocket or anywhere else nearly touching your body. And don\u2019t sleep with your phone in your bed or near your head, unless it\u2019s in airplane mode or off.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Limit your phone use when the signal is weak<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Limit your phone use when you see only one or two signal bars displayed because mobile phones put out more RF energy to connect with mobile phone towers when the signal is weak.
\nAlso limit your phone use in fast-moving car, on buses, or trains. Your phone also puts out more RF energy as it switches connections from one mobile phone tower to the next. If you want to use your phone in these circumstances for entertainment, put it in airplane mode.<\/p>\n

Avoid products that claim to block radio frequency energy<\/strong><\/h2>\n

According to the U.S. Federal Trade Commission, products that interfere with your phone\u2019s signal may force it to work harder and put out more RF energy in order to stay connected. That means such products might even increase your exposure.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
