Effects Of Cellphone Radiations And Why Protect Children From It!
Cellphones have become an inseparable part of our lives, Whether you’re reading this article on your trusty smartphone or a laptop, chances are you’re nodding in agreement. But fear not—I won’t be the one shouting, “Ditch your phones immediately!”, nah I would never say that!
No wonder why they call them tablets, because they are supposed to be used while on the table and not close to your faces and bodies, especially a baby's body.
I use my phone and my laptop literally every single day, and sadly speaking I even consider myself among the addicted people (definitely not what you're thinking), because I use my phone and laptop everyday but to read, tweet, code, researches, and other many stuff, but don't worry I do watch reels too.
A cellphone is a two-way microwave radiating device that sends and receives messages and has several antennas for establishing that connection, but you already know that. :<)
The radiation that a cellphone emits is too weak to directly break DNA bonds in your body, but it does break the DNA bonds through indirect means, which is not similar to the X-rays which we all know damages you, and this is how;
- Heat: Radiofrequency waves generate heat, prolonged exposure to this heat can affect cellular processes.
- Oxidative Stress: Cellphone radiation may increase the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in cells. ROS can damage DNA indirectly.
- Cellular Signaling: Radiofrequency waves can activate certain cellular signaling pathways, potentially affecting DNA repair mechanisms.
Because it can damage your DNA bonds indirectly, if it regularly contacts your body, this can lead to your cells to proliferate(multiply), which can cause cancer!
Normally our DNA gets damaged literally all the time, from sunlight and you won't believe this but also for just being alive too!, but luckily our bodies have healthy cells with healthy DNA that repairs the damages every single time. LUCKY YOU!
Think about this;
- how many times you have kept your phone with your mobile data ON inside your pocket.
- how many times you use your phone near your face.
- how many times you have spent talking with your loved one for hours and hours.
- how many times you have used your phone while its charging.
- how many times you have used your phone for extended periods.
- how many times you have slept with your phone.
You might want to consider controlling yourself!
Now, you notice I never said, and I repeat NEVER SAID, that we should not use our cellphones or laptops and other tech, what I am encouraging here is that we have to be smart on how we use our cellphones and use them in a more healthy way to protect ourselves, because billions of people have been addicted to the technology in ways that are unsafe.
CELLPHONE RADIATIONS AND FERTILITY
I'm sure you have heard this before, for men, I'm sure you know this already or not but FYI when you expose sperm to cellphone radiations you damage your sperm quality.
As for women, they should be more serious since it affects not only mothers but their births and the child too!
A study on Turkey shows that children of mothers who use phones a lot more have and are mostly likely to have Attention Deficit Disorder(ADD).
CHILDREN AND CELLPHONE RADIATIONS
A study in Korea shows that children that regularly use cell phones have in the brain what is called digital dementia, which shows that these children have effects on their brains.
Nowadays, most of the children understand, use new technologies and know how to use phones literally more than their parents, as if they have a 10-year experience while still being a 5-year old kid!
Damn!
Children aren't small adults, although they can act like it, but they need special protections for such dangerous radiations and should not be treated as same as how we treat other adults.
Babies on the other hand are attracted to the fast-moving things on i-pads, try giving a baby an i-pad and play cocomelon then after 5 mins try snatching that i-pad from him/her and watch how the baby turns into a tiny hulk!
So I shouldn't give a baby an i-pad/tablet/cellphone for learning purposes?
Well, if that's possible then I think you should do that, I mean those gadgets aren't the only way a child can learn right?
Our parents literally never used them and still survived to be great people.
But, in the evolving world we like simplifying things so here is a better way of how your child can use the gadgets in a more safe way according to Dr Devra Davis;
- Educational video, the best way is to download the content then keep your phone in airplane mode, then give your child to watch it, same goes to watching cartoons.
- A videocall from Grandma or siblings, the best way is to put it on a table or a stand and then let the baby interact without touching the phone.
The main point is that a baby shouldn't be exposed to these radiations since they are dangerous to them and their bodies are vulnerable and still developing, the I-pads in the operating manuals have explained and here is a little summary;
No wonder why they call them tablets, because they are supposed to be used while on the table and not close to your faces and bodies, especially a baby's body.
According to Dr Devra Devis, use an i-pad near your body and here is what happens, the radiations get into all your reproductive organs and the last time I checked there's no skull protecting our reproductive organs, well maybe if you know an exception having such features.
Now think of how children will be affected if exposed to these radiations!
That's all for today, Thank You!💟
