Mobile phones and your health

Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM), originally Group Special Mobile, is a standard developed by the European Telecommunication standard institutes (ETIS) to describe the protocols for second-generation (2G) digital cellular networks used by mobile phones first deployed in Finland in July 1991. Mobile phones communicate with base stations using radiofrequency (RF) radiation. If RF radiation is high enough, it has a ‘thermal’ effect, which means it raises body temperature. There are concerns that the low levels of RF radiation emitted by mobile phones could cause health problems such as headaches or brain tumours.
The effect of mobile phone radiation on human health is a subject of interest and study worldwide, as a result of the enormous increase in mobile phone usage throughout the world. As of 2017, there were 7.7 billion subscriptions worldwide, though the actual number of users is lower as many users own more than one mobile phone. Mobile phones use electromagnetic radiation in the microwave range (450–3800 MHz).
Other digital wireless systems, such as data communication networks, produce similar radiation. The World Health Organization states that "A large number of studies have been performed over the last two decades to assess whether mobile phones pose a potential health risk. To date, no adverse health effects have been established as being caused by mobile phone use."
Effects of mobile phone on your health
The bad impact of Cell Phones on nervous system: Another health issue which the daily phone use and the constant exposure to mobile network cells radio frequency radiation affects generally our nervous system.
Electromagnetic hypersensitivity: Some users of mobile phones and similar devices have reported feeling various non-specific symptoms during and after use. Studies have failed to link any of these symptoms to electromagnetic exposure.
Addiction to mobile phone use: The use of mobile phone often has a short beep sounds, whether you work on the keyboard receive a phone call or look for some mobile functionality staring at the screen. We’re wearing the mobile everywhere with us so often we do check the mobile screen quite un-consciously (by addiction).
Negative impact of mobile phones on body level: Whenever we talk over the phone especially when picking up incoming calls or initiating out-going ones, the GSM device has to connect to the closest network cell “dial up” and wait for initialization of remote or local connection (levels of radiation waves during the two mobiles connects up is higher). Therefore if one moves the phone near his ear listening for the status of call the amount of radiation that enters our brains is slightly higher.
Blood–brain barrier
Cancer
Male fertility: A decline in male sperm quality has been observed over several decades. Studies on the impact of mobile radiation on male fertility are conflicting, and the effects of the radiofrequency electromagnetic radiation (RF-EMR) emitted by these devices on the reproductive systems are currently under active debate
Glucose metabolism: According to the National Cancer Institute, two small studies exploring whether and how cell phone radiation affects brain glucose metabolism showed inconsistent results.
Negative effect of continuous mobile phones use on human brain: Knowing about the increased radiation on connection initialization thanksfully one can protect himself by simply not putting the mobile headset near ear on call initialization. Though this “problem” can be partially solved, next comes the health brain damage (tumours) which according to some researches are higher among people who do frequent long phone call conversations.

Incredible Benefits of Getting a Good Night's Sleep

In today's fast-paced world, where we often find ourselves juggling multiple responsibilities and tasks, sleep is often sacrificed in the pursuit of productivity. However, this approach is counterproductive, as sleep plays a crucial role in our overall well-being. A good night's sleep is not just a luxury; it's a necessity that offers a wide range of benefits for our physical, mental, and emotional health.  Let us delve into the incredible benefits that come with prioritizing and getting the sleep we need. Enhanced Cognitive Function: Sleep is essential for optimal brain function. During sleep, the brain consolidates memories, processes information, and clears out unnecessary neural connections. This enhances our ability to learn, make decisions, solve problems, and think creatively. A good night's sleep ensures that your mind is sharp, focused, and ready to tackle challenges effectively. Improved Mood and Emotional Well-being: Lack of sleep is closely linked to m

Why weight loss produces remission of type 2 diabetes in some patients Summary: A clinical trial recently showed that nearly half of individuals with type 2 diabetes achieved remission to a non-diabetic state after a weight-loss intervention delivered within six years of diagnosis. Now a new study reveals that this successful response to weight loss is associated with the early and sustained improvement in the functioning of pancreatic beta cells.

Bulgur Wheat

Bulgar wheat is a staple of Middle Eastern cuisine, traditionally used to make tabbouleh and pilafs. This ingredient is very popular in side dishes and is able to cook very quickly, which makes it a convenient and versatile food. Bulgur wheat can be made in many forms, including pasta, bread, and warm or cold grain salads. The key components of bulgur wheat include high levels of iron, magnesium, potassium, zinc, niacin, copper, phosphorous, manganese, fiber and dietary protein. While there are many varieties of cereal in the world, many of them come from refined wheat, which is then used to produce refined carbohydrate foods. Low in fat, high in fiber and rich in minerals, bulgur wheat is a healthy dietary choice. These are good for your health, but they don’t compare to the raw, nutrient-packed nature of bulgur wheat. This varietal offers a higher concentration of minerals, vitamins, antioxidants, and fiber than refined wheat, making it even more beneficial for human health.
