Have you been aware about microwaves from wireless phones surrounding us? Nowadays, in people’s daily life, cell phones have become an important tool. It is no longer a piece of news that cell phones radiate microwaves that might cause diseases to human body, or bring potential harm to our health.
Approximately, there are about 1.9 billion mobile phone occupants around the world, with a great part of the users in the U.S. alone. From the research, it can cause many health problem such as headaches, high blood pressure, brain tumors, Alzheimer’s and even cancer, and more.
Thus, cell phone owners should take some action to reduce the harm to the minimum degree before it too late for us. Here are some tips you can refer.
First, you should keep the radiation exposure to the smallest. It means that it is wise keep calls short, do your best to avoid prolix chatting. A simply two-minute call has been found to alter the electrical activity of the brain for up to one hour afterwards. For children, it should be allowed to use the cell phone only in emergency case. Besides that, when the cell phone are not in use, keep your mobile phone as far as possible from your body. Some cell phone occupants like to place the cell phones in pockets of their pants while they are on. The lower part of human body absorbs radiation more quickly than the upper part.
Meanwhile, you are recommended to choose wireless headsets than wired headsets if you consider about using headphones. The wire not only transmits the radiation but also works as an antenna which attracts EMFs (electromagnetic fields) from the neighbourhood. And when using your cell phone without a headset, wait for the call to connect before drawing it close to your ear.
Lastly, when you buy the cell phone from the wholesale providers or individual sellers, select cell phones with lower SAR (Specific Absorption Rate). You can check the SAR number shown in the instruction manual. The lower the SAR value the better. And remember, you must to avoid answering calls in enclosed metal spaces such as elevators or vehicles because the radiation can be stronger.

1. Wireless headsets often exacerbate the problem.
2. I can see how a wire with a current could function as an antenna, but it makes no sense to say that it attracts fields from the surrounding area.
I personally feel much dumber when I’ve used my cell phone frequently, and there’s good evidence to back up the notion that cell phones interfere with the brain’s functioning.
I will try to make use of this tips in my life.
