#Radiation is found everywhere! ☢️😱 How to minimize radiation risk? 🤔

#Radiation is found everywhere!

How to minimize radiation risk?

Did you know that the electronic products you are using and the electrical appliances around you are emitting #radiation?

Radiation is an invisible and intangible energy, your body may not feel uncomfortable by exposing to radiation, but it will certainly bring some side effects over a long period of time! It may cause headaches, memory loss or even lead to cancer, diabetes, infertility, miscarriage, atypical development in your children and so on!

So, that means we'd better not use any electrical product? Not at all!

There are 2 kinds of radiation:

Ionizing Radiation

Ionizing radiation can be categorized as #natural or #man-made, with natural radiation coming from the sun, cosmic rays and radionuclides in Earth's crust; Meanwhile, man-made radiation sources are produced by humans such as medical equipment especially diagnostic medical imaging equipment and heavy machinery that are widely used in the healthcare and construction industries.

Non-ionizing Radiation

It refers to ultraviolet (UV) radiation, thermal radiation, radio waves and microwaves.

The radiation emitted by the electrical appliances we use daily is #NonIonizingRadiation and it has very minimal effects on our health, hence no worries if you are using them in proper ways!

We’ve compiled 8 ways to minimize radiation, let’s read on now:

1. Don't gather too many electrical appliances in one place

You are advised not to put and use too many electrical appliances at the same time within the same space to avoid forming a "huge radiation magnetic field".

2. Don't stay at the backside of your computer

The strongest radiation emitted by the computer is from its back, followed by its left and right sides. The radiation from the screen is the weakest.

3. Prevent putting your computer into standby mode

When your computer is in standby mode for a long time, the radiation dose will constantly accumulate.

4. Don’t rush to answer the phone

The moment when the call is answered while the phone is charging, there will be a large dose of radiation released. Therefore, you are advised to answer the phone after it rings for a second or two. Also, you are not encouraged to attend phone calls when it's charging.

5. Absorb electromagnetic wave with water

Water is the best medium to absorb electromagnetic wave. It is highly recommended to put a few bottles of water around your computer, but never use those made of metal!

6. Always wash your hands and face right after using the computer

Dust is an important carrier of electromagnetic radiation. Dust transmitted from computer screens to our skin can cause damages such as rashes, pigmentation and even skin lesions.

7. Keep your room well-ventilated

Your computer screen will emit a certain kind of carcinogen when it is in use, thus it is recommended to install an exhaust fan or open windows for better ventilation.

8. Take foods high in Vitamin A, Vitamin C and protein

Eat more carrots, cabbage, bean sprouts, tofu, red dates, oranges, eggs, animal liver, lean meat and so on to get more nutritional supplements. You can also drink tea more often

as the active substances in tea such as polyphenols are conducive to absorb and resist radioactive substance.

Electrical appliances have become an integral part of our lives these days, but every coin has two sides, do always use electrical appliances in the correct ways so that it can help to improve your quality of life!

To coexist peacefully with radiation, we must start practicing the good habits above so that we can fully enjoy the comfort that electrical appliances bring us at ease!
