Over the last few years our cell phones have become a source of all sorts of support. They are our calendars, access to social media, email, GPS and an actual phone – just to name a few. It seems we are never apart from our phones. But if you were asked to put it down for your health, could you?
One town in South Florida has urged its citizens to take some serious safety precautions after a local resident suffered a tumor above his left ear and thumb. While it’s not definite, the tumors could be linked to cell phone radiation. Rather than ignoring the possible issues, why not check out this list for practicing cell phone safety, today.
Ever Thought About Practicing Cell Phone Safety?
- Keep the phone away from your head. Use speakerphone or a headset whenever possible.
- Make calls when the battery is fully charged. A low battery makes the phone work harder, which increases radiation exposure.
- Store in your bag. Keeping your phone out of your pants pocket gives you a healthy distance, lessening your exposure to radiation.
- Don’t sleep with your phone right next to you.
What do you think – do you practice cell phone safety? Will you start now that you’ve read this post?
