Mobile phone use risk and affects of our health condition. So we need to read this article.
Negative effects for health
Mobile phone uses effect:
1. Electromagnetic waves alter (electric activity of the brain) and cause disturbance in sleep.
2. Cause difficulty in concentration, low energy, weakness and headache.
3. Increase reaction time in a time-dependent manner.
4. They increase the resting blood pressure
5. Reduce the production of melatonin.
6. They are also implicated in DNA strand breaks.
7. The use of mobile phones has also been related to Alzheimer’s disease and Cancer.
Alzheimer’s disease means- A disease of the brain that affects especially old people, which results in the gradual loss of memory, speech, movement and the ability to think clearly.
A study by Swedish researchers suggests the link between mobile phone use and Alzheimer’s disease:
Mobile phones damage key brain cells and could trigger the early onset of Alzheimer’s disease. …Researchers have found that radiation from mobile phone handsets damages areas of the brain associated with learning, memory and movement.
This study was performed on rats, which were exposed to radiation equivalent to that of a cell phone for only two hours. The brains were examined after 50 days, and the researchers found an abundance of dead brain cells in the exposed rats.
Furthermore, studies have linked mobile phone use with brain cancer, mouth cancer and leukemia. Most recently, the American Journal of Epidemiology published a study from research author Dr. Siegal Sadetzki, a cancer specialist at Tel Aviv University. The Telegraph published an article about this study and summarized:
People who use a mobile phone for hours a day are 50 per cent more likely to develop mouth cancer than those who do not talk on them at all, new research has shown.
8. In 2002, Hardell et al published a study titled ‘Cellular and cordless telephones and the risk for brain tumors in the European Journal of Cancer Prevention. As stated on Dr Mercola’s website:
Hardell et al found that people who used cell phones were two and a half times more likely to have a temporal brain tumor on the side of the head where they held their phone.
In the case of tumors of the auditory nerve, which connects the ear to the brain, the risk increased to more than three times for mobile phone users.
There has been enough research to prove the link between mobile phone use and negative health effects from relatively mild symptoms like sleep disturbance to cancer and Alzheimer’s disease.
Now you think how many times we should use our mobile phone?
