5 mistakes when using a phone that are very harmful to most people

AN An (Theo Brightside) |

leaving the phone at the head of the bed; being exposed to blue light for too long before going to bed; using a low- per cent phone... are common mistakes when using the phone that are harmful to health.

1. Sleeping near your phone

A mobile phone is essentially a transformer and electromagnetic receiver. That means it emits radio waves. While that has not been proven, recent research continues to show that waves can affect your brain after hours of exposure.

It can wake you up with notifications in your sleep cycle. If you can't turn it off completely or leave it in another room while you're sleeping, try leaving it in air conditioning.

2. Exposure to blue light for too long

Light from the phone screen blocks melatonin - the hormone that regulates your sleep cycle and is a reason why you should not be close to it while you sleep.

Green light also causes headaches and eye and vision problems. Try resetting light levels on your phone and turning on the blue light filter.

3. Using a phone with too weak a signal

When you see a weak signal on your phone, it really means that your phone is sending more signals that are harmful to your health. Dr. Devra Davis says the truth about mobile phone radiation, recommends using a landline or leaving the phone as far away as you are as it is when the signal is low. Low signals also make your phone hot, which will be another danger.

4. Keep your phone in contact with your skin

There are some studies that focus on the link between mobile phones and cancer, specifically their signal of about 900 MHz, causing your phone to heat up. Your skin absorbs heat easily in small bites as you keep it close to your body.

Although there is no other proven effect of radio frequency radiation on the human body, we do know that the absorption rate drops significantly as you keep the distance between you and your phone.

Try using headphones or external speakers while talking on your phone, so that they don't touch your skin, and if you don't use your phone, keep it as far away as possible.

5. Looking at the screen in the wrong position

In reality, using a mobile phone can cause thumb injuries. As you lean forward to look at the screen, the pressure on your cervical spine increases.

And as time passes, the weight your neck feels can be 5 times the actual weight of your head. This causes neck pain due to unusual posture. Keep the phone at eye level, keep the neck as straight as possible.
