Limit Radiation Exposure

Limit Radiation Exposure

 

07 Dec 2020

Radiation is undoubtedly bad for your health and has links with cancer among countless other health concerns. Radiation exposure occurs every time you get an x-ray or full body scan at the airport. But in today’s day and age, it is not limited to these events. Cell phones, tanning beds, Wi-Fi equipment, power lines and cell towers all give off low levels of radiation too. So far, there is little research to tell us what the long term implications are on our health.

To reduce exposure,  put off x-rays unless medically necessary. Additionally, do not keep Wi-Fi equipment in your bedroom or other rooms you spend a lot of time in. Do not sleep with your phone on your end table, and put it on airplane mode or turn it off completely if possible. Although radiation is inevitable, do what you can to limit it in your day-to-day life.
