Technology like Wi-Fi and tech devices emit radiation…
… which poses a serious health threat to your family.
It is especially important to take precautions when using these devices nowadays…
But there’s hope – by adding plants known to absorb radiation…
… you can minimize your exposure to those waves.
Hear it from Gretha!
I’m still a high school student, and I live in a period of time…
… where technology had conquered human lifestyle.
I cannot even ignore the temptation to go online constantly…
… because it’s as if my whole social life is surrounded in it.
Hence, I am afraid of the risks that may come in the upcoming years…
… especially problems related to radiation exposure.
So I searched on the web for any ways I can still minimize my radiation exposure…
And something interesting popped up…
I read that plants, several kinds of houseplants can actually do that…
But do they really?
There are several negative impacts of radiation…
… especially with prolonged and constant exposure.
It is obvious that ways must be found to combat the exposure…
The presence of these plants in your house…
… can reduce the effects of stress and help alleviate frequent headaches.
They also make your home look better – a bonus!
Let’s dive in!
The Dangers Of Electromagnetic Radiation
Ionizing radiation has sufficient energy to affect the atoms in living cells and thereby damage their genetic material (DNA). Fortunately, the cells in our bodies are extremely efficient at repairing this damage. However, if the damage is not repaired correctly, a cell may die or eventually become cancerous.
United States Environmental Protection Agency
Radiofrequency waves emitted by electronics are non-ionizing…
… meaning they do not alter the chemistry of molecules they touch.
They don’t, and do not, directly alter DNA structure…
There are no genetic mutations caused by electromagnetic radiation…
… but there are subtle, serious and long-term health effects after exposure.
Although your body doesn’t resonate with any wavelength…
… emitted by electronics and devices that send them signals, calcium ions within your cells do.
How Are They Dangerous?
Tiny bits of ambient energy can cause calcium to go into cells when it’s supposed to go out…
… and leave cells when it’s supposed to leave.
Calcium still helps power your muscles…
… but the timing may be a few thousandths of a second off.
This causes your endocrine organs to release hormones…
… that they wouldn’t have released anyhow (calcium triggers the release of hormones…
… from the organs that make them, such as insulin)…
… but may cause them to enter the bloodstream too soon.
There is something that continually pushes your accelerator, but you cannot pinpoint what it is…
Heat-Form Dangers
The electromagnetic radiation otherwise converts into heat…
Exposure to wi-fi wireless radiofrequency…
… may promote the body’s temperature by 0.1 to 2.0 ° C (0.2 to 3.6 ° F)…
… if you are close enough to your router.
Heat causes your enzymes to work a little faster, making dividing cells difficult…
Due to malfunctioning enzymes, DNA becomes defective in cells that are created…
DNA errors can cause an organism’s cells to become dysfunctional…
… autoimmune cells can remove them along with some healthy surrounding cells, and cancerous cells can grow.
You generate heat as a result of exposure to electromagnetic radiation in your body…
The good news is, it causes more harm to a plant than to you…
That’s why houseplants can be very helpful in absorbing and reducing electromagnetic radiation…
Can Plants Really Absorb Radiation?
Research indicates that there is no “anti-radiation plant”…
… but certain plants will actively absorb them from the environment.
We’re not talking nuclear fallout here (though sunflowers did come in handy at Chernobyl)…
… but rather EMFs that we come in contact with every day.
People are picking plants to reduce the harmful effects of electromagnetic radiation…
… both as an aesthetic ornament and as a natural air purifier.
However…
It is important to understand the role of plants in overall strategies to protect from EMFs…
Plants are not scavengers, meaning they do not seek out radiation and then eliminate it…
In short, plants don’t attract radiation. They simply help to mitigate it in a small way via absorption…
However, even though plants aren’t the almighty EMF defenders we wish they were…
… they still create a healthy environment within our homes.
Snake Plants As Radiation Absorbent
For radiation absorption, snake plants are a great alternative to cactus…
They are very effective for converting carbon dioxide into oxygen…
Snake plants are an ideal addition to your home…
… if you would like to promote cleaner air and improve lung health.
Studies have found that the sansevieria plant is capable…
… of actively absorbing over a hundred different types of poisons.
It is also a strong anti-pollutant, so it is useful as an antidote…
… against exposure to radiation in the form of EMF.
Furthermore…
The Snake plant is believed to help absorb harmful radiation given off by electronic devices…
… like television, air conditioner, microwave, laptops, Wi-Fi routers, and cell phones.
These harmful radiations can cause a multitude of diseases in humans…
… like cancer and cardiovascular disease…
To maintain a healthy and protective environment…
… it is advised to keep the Snake plant in the living room…
… or other areas of the house that have electronic devices.
This plant is best kept out of direct sunlight…
For best results, place it close to your computer, Wi-Fi device…
… or other electronic device that emits radiation…
This is a great way to keep your room and home healthy!
To sum it up…
Radiation exposure is now part of the human world…
The advances in technology blind sighted human on the risks…
… associated with radiation.
Hence, preventive measures need to be taken…
… to at least help us one step at a time.
Having snake plant as your friend on this one is highly recommended!
