5 Mistakes We All Make When Using Our Smartphones!

-

You may be keeping it close for an alarm or even to observe the quality of your sleep for health purposes. However, your cell phone is not a good sleep companion! In addition to bedtime, your phone is harming you during the day in more ways than you realize.

1. Sleeping with it.

A cell phone is basically an electromagnetic transmitter and receiver. That means it emits radio waves. Although it’s not been proven yet, research continues to show how the waves may affect your brain after being exposed for long hours. If it’s impossible for you to turn it off completely or keep it in another room while you’re asleep, try keeping it on airplane mode.

2. Being exposed to blue light for too long.

The light from your screen suppresses melatonin , the hormone that regulates your sleep cycle which is another reason you shouldn’t be near it while you sleep. Blue light also causes headaches and eye and sight problems. Try resetting the light levels on your phone and turning on the blue light filter.

3. Using it with a low signal.

When you see a weak signal on your phone, it actually means your phone is putting out a stronger signal as a transmitter, and more energy from your cell phone means more harm to your health. It also causes your phone to heat up which is another danger.

4. Keeping it in contact with your skin.

Your skin absorbs the heat easily in tiny bits every time you keep it close to your body. Although there are no other proven effects of radiofrequency radiation on the human body, we know for a fact that the absorption ratio decreases dramatically when you keep some distance between you and your phone.

5. Looking at the screen with bad posture.

It’s a known fact that using mobile phones causes thumb injuries like tenosynovitis. There is another cell phone health condition called “text neck.” As the name suggests, when you bend your neck forward to look at the screen, the stress on your cervical spine increases gradually.

Maybe you’re using your cell phone to read our article! Prepare a checklist to correct the mistakes you may be doing and don’t forget to share your thoughts with us in the comments.

 We’ve Reached Peak Wellness. Most of It Is Nonsense. by Brad Stulberg, getpocket.com Here’s what actually works. Wellness isn’t that complicated. Illustrations by Marta Pantaleo. Photo by: Illustrations Marta Pantaleo In Silicon Valley, techies are swooning over tarot-card readers. In New York, you can hook up to a “detox” IV at a lounge. In the Midwest, the Neurocore Brain Performance Center markets brain training for everything from ADHD, anxiety, and depression to migraines, stress, autism-spectrum disorder, athletic performance, memory, and cognition. And online, companies like Goop promote “8 Crystals For Better Energy” and a detox-delivery meal kit, complete with “nutritional supplements, probiotics, detox and beauty tinctures, and beauty and detox teas.” Across the country, everyone is looking for a cure for what ails them, which has led to a booming billion-dollar industry—what I’ve come to call the Wellness Industrial Complex. The problem is that so much of what’...

In the caption, she announced that the couple’s son had died. “We are shocked and in the kind of deep pain you only hear about, the kind of pain we’ve never felt before,” Teigen wrote. “We were never able to stop the bleeding and give our baby the fluids he needed, despite bags and bags of blood transfusions. It just wasn’t enough.” Teigen wrote that she and Legend had not previously decided on their children’s names until after they were born; still, for some reason, the couple referred to the unborn child as “Jack.” ...
