“Electromagnetic radiation consists of waves of the electromagnetic field, propagating through space, carrying electromagnetic radiant energy. It includes radio waves, microwaves, infrared, ultraviolet, visible light, X-rays, and gamma rays. All of these waves form part of the electromagnetic spectrum.” – Wikipedia.
Electromagnetic radiation has both electric and magnetic fields and travels in waves. It comes from natural and man-made sources and can vary in intensity from low to high.
Exposure to electromagnetic radiation can be harmful for humans, animals and plants. Research has shown that exposure to electromagnetic fields increases the risk of developing leukemia, cancer, brain tumours and other health problems.
Examples of Electromagnetic Waves
- Radio Waves
- Television Waves
- Microwave Ovens
- Medical Examination (X-rays)
- Communication Devices
- RADAR
- Heat (Infrared Radiation)
- Light
- Ultraviolet Light
- Military Equipment
- Short Waves
The most common form of radiation we are all familiar with is visible light.
Of all the products in our lives that emit radiation, our mobile phones are the strongest sources of EMF radiation. Electromagnetic waves emitted by mobile phones are absorbed into the brain, which can affect the activity of neurons. There are over 140 proteins in our brain that are negatively affected by EMF exposure.
Things you can do to reduce harmful electromagnetic radiation in your environment include:
- Turn off wireless devices such as routers, printers, laptops, tablets and computers
- Obtain a wired instead of wireless version of keyboard, mouse, microphones and speakers
- Keep EMF devices at a distance
- Use your smartphone safely
- Get rid of your microwave oven or use it safely
- Use a Himalayan Salt lamp
- Use EMF harmonisers for your home, mobile phone and car
One of the best ways to protect yourself is through nutrition – by eating foods rich in vitamin C, vitamin E, omega-3 fatty acids, selenium and glutathione, such as:
- Almonds
- Broccoli
- Cherries
- Sunflower seeds
- Flaxseed
- Kiwi
- Oranges
- Wild-caught salmon
- Spinach
- Mushrooms (especially chaga)
- Strawberries
Protein-rich foods that can help with radiation include:
- Eggs
- Nuts/nut butters
- Seeds
- Soy/tofu
- Dairy products
- Meats
- Poultry
- Fish
In addition to the above, stay well hydrated and eat garlic, onions and fresh foods, as this can help remove heavy metals from your body and support your immune system.
