Protect Your Home From these Risks

Our homes are the outer defense line for our bodies but sometimes we unconsciously turn them into our fiercest enemies through perilous pollutants. Electromagnetic pollution is the most dangerous type of pollution on the human health when its average goes beyond the safe limits. It results from the diffusion and the daily use of technology and new devices in our lives.

The problem with this kind pollution lies in its invisibility: we can feel it but we can’t see it. The electromagnetic waves are capable of entering the human body and reacting with its cells which results in disorders of the blood circulation, reproductive system, brain, nerves, heart rate, body functions such as sleep, digestion, weak memory and concentration. It could also cause leukemia, brain tumors and abortion.

The main sources of electromagnetic pollution at home are TVs, microwaves, hairdryers, electric shavers, telephones, mobiles, radios, refrigerators and washing machines.

Here are some advices to prevent and reduce electromagnetic pollution in order to protect ourselves and our children:

- Stay away from the sources of the electromagnetic fields to reduce their intensity, so avoid living near high-voltage lines of electricity, place the kitchen table away from the refrigerator, do not stand in front of the microwave while it’s working and keep a good distance while watching TV.

- Unplug electrical appliances instead of turning them off with the remote control.

- Put any source of electromagnetic fields two meters away from your bed and it’s better to keep the bedroom free of electrical devices.

- Set the hairdryer on the low for the heat and speed settings.

Your family means the world to you so protect them from the risks of electromagnetic fields by researching and knowing about everything that is in your home.
