Limit Radiation Emitted By Your Phone

 

Limit Radiation Emitted By Your Phone

Another reason to try to limit the radiation emitted by your phone.

This study looked at the impact of mobile phone radiation on sperm quality. The researchers selected 32 healthy men with normal semen parameters. They divided each sperm sample into two portions. One portion was placed in a thermostat, while the other portion was placed near a mobile phone in standby/talk mode. After 5 hours, they evaluated the sperm samples for motility and DNA fragmentation.


The results showed that the group exposed to electromagnetic radiation from the mobile phone had a lower number of spermatozoa with progressive movement and a higher number of non-progressively moving spermatozoa compared to the group without exposure. The DNA fragmentation was also significantly higher in the exposed group.


The study concluded that there is a correlation between mobile phone radiation exposure, DNA fragmentation, and decreased sperm motility. It suggests that mobile phone radiation can have a negative impact on sperm quality.

Blue Light Alters Metabolic Function

 

Blue Light Alters Metabolic Function

This study looked at the effects of blue light on metabolic function, hunger, and hormonal measures in healthy adults.


The results showed that both morning and evening blue light exposure increased insulin resistance compared to dim light. In the evening group, blue light also led to higher peak glucose levels.


The researchers noted that extended or chronic exposure to blue light may further impact insulin resistance and potentially affect feeding behaviors, body composition, and body weight over time. Blue light alters metabolic function.


There were some limitations of this study like small sample size for example, but we can still use it as another reason to try and avoid artificial blue light exposure as much as possible. It is especially important to avoid blue light once the sun goes down.


The simplest way to minimize exposure is to wear some blue light blocking glasses. On top of this you can use dark mode or f.lux type software on devices to minimize blue light or avoid devices altogether. Then further on down the track you can change the type of lighting in the home if you get right into it.

Avoid Toxic Chemicals In Your Food

 

Avoid Toxic Chemicals In Your Food

For over 10 years I've been recommending organic over conventional food due to the toxic chemicals sprayed and fed to most of our food supply. This was thanks to the teachings of Charles Poliquin. In this podcast they mention a few in glyphosate, atrazine, and paraquat.

These chemicals are known carcinogens (cancer causing), endocrine disruptors (ruin hormones), impact neurological function, ruin gut function, and are toxic to the liver and kidneys to name a few things.
