Where is the healthiest place to put your mobile phone

With the development of wireless communication technology, more and more people are using mobile phones, and the health problems caused by mobile phones have also attracted more attention. How harmful is the radiation from mobile phones to the human body? How to minimize the harm? Let's find out together!

When people use mobile phones, the phones transmit radio waves to the base stations, and the radio waves will be absorbed by the human body to a greater or lesser extent. These radio waves are mobile phone radiation. Generally speaking, the radiation from a mobile phone is smaller when it is in standby mode and larger when it is in a call. When a mobile phone number has been dialed but not yet connected, the radiation is the highest, about three times that of standby mode. These radiations have the potential to change human tissue and cause adverse effects on human health.

Don't put your phone next to your pillow

According to Professor Zhao Yufeng from the Indoor Environment Monitoring Working Committee of the China Interior Decoration Association, mobile phone radiation is very harmful to the human head. It can cause functional disorders in the human central nervous system, causing symptoms such as headaches, dizziness, insomnia, nightmares and hair loss. Some people may also experience irritation on their faces.

Therefore, when answering a call, it is best to first hold the phone farther away from your body to connect, and then put it to your ear to talk. In addition, try not to chat on your mobile phone, and be careful not to place your phone next to your pillow when you sleep.

Don't hang your phone on your chest

Many girls like to hang their mobile phones on their chests, but studies have shown that hanging a mobile phone on the chest will have a certain impact on the heart and endocrine system. Even in standby mode with less radiation, the electromagnetic wave radiation around the mobile phone can cause harm to the human body. People with heart failure and arrhythmia should be especially careful not to hang their mobile phones on their chests. Some experts believe that electromagnetic radiation can also affect endocrine function and cause menstrual disorders in women. In addition, electromagnetic wave radiation will also affect normal cell metabolism, causing disorders of metal ions such as potassium, calcium, and sodium in the body.

Mobile phones are generally equipped with shielding devices to reduce the harm of radiation to the human body. Shielding devices containing heavy metals such as aluminum and lead have better protective effects. For the sake of beauty, some women tend to choose small mobile phones. The protection function of such mobile phones may not be perfect. Therefore, before there are small and protective mobile phones, it is best for female friends not to hang their mobile phones on their chests.

Hanging it around the waist affects fertility

It is understood that men who frequently carry and use mobile phones can have their sperm count reduced by up to 30%. Some medical experts pointed out that if the mobile phone is often hung around the waist or abdomen of the human body, the electromagnetic waves generated when it sends and receives signals will radiate to the sperm or eggs in the human body, which may affect the user's reproductive function. An experimental report from the UK pointed out that mice would develop DNA changes if they were exposed to microwave radiation from mobile phones for 5 minutes; human sperm and eggs may also develop DNA changes if they are exposed to microwave radiation from mobile phones for a long time.

Experts recommend that mobile phone users keep their phones away from their waist and abdomen as much as possible, and not hang them around their waist or put them in coat pockets. Some men put their mobile phones in their trouser pockets, which poses the greatest threat to sperm because the trouser pockets are right next to the testicles. When the user is in the office, at home or in the car, it is best to put the phone aside. When you go out, try to put your phone in your bag so it is away from your body. Using headphones to answer mobile phone calls can also effectively reduce the impact of mobile phone radiation.
