The phone in bed is enough and it's good for you

There is still no clear evidence of the impact of cell phones on human health. There was not enough for a long-term study. But the fear is there for the California Department of Public Health. It has issued new recommendations for people who want to reduce their exposure to radio frequencies.

Smartphones emit radio frequency energy when sending and receiving signals to and from cell towers. US Health Professionals UU They believe that this energy has implications for human health, but today they can not fully prove it.

In Canada, the International Agency for Research on Cancer believes that high-frequency electromagnetic fields are "probably carcinogenic to humans." Here we can read the conclusions of his first approach: "The center concluded that there is a limited amount of evidence at risk to develop a glioma (a type of brain cancer) and an acoustic neuroma (a benign tumor of the nerve connecting the ear to the brain ) among mobile phone users. "


As the use of mobile phones is increasing steadily and children are getting their first cell phone on average at the age of 10, there are some rules to apply. "Developing the brains of children during puberty and more can be affected by the use of smart phones. Parents should take the time to reduce their children spend their phone and encourage them to turn it off overnight. "

These are the measures proposed by health professionals in California:
- Keep your phone away from your body. (We use the speakerphone as soon as possible and do not stay close to us).
- Do not try to use your smartphone to download large files.
- Do not sleep with your phone next to you. (Even better: turn off at night).
- Avoid equipment that blocks radio frequency energy. They can do the opposite and increase their exposure.
