10 Health Risks Of Wi-Fi That You Probably Didn't Know
Almost every person in the world has Wi-Fi in their homes. Even if you don't have Wi-Fi surely your neighbors have them. also, everywhere you go there are Wi-Fi's; in restaurants, hotels, airports, coffee shops, even public parks. Even children as young as 5 years old have their own cell phone if not they know how to play their mom and dad's cell phones. We are simply surrounded by wireless network devices. With Electro Magnetic Fields (EMF's) everywhere it can damage your health. As you can see EMF's are all around us even in our home there are appliances that emit's EMF's such as washing machine, kitchen appliances, televisions, fluorescent lamps, water pumps, electric can openers, mixers and much more.
So exactly what are the risks involved with prolonged, uninterrupted exposure to these Wi-Fi signals? Take a look at our top 10 health risks:
1. Alters Our Ability to Learn
There has been an increasing number of reports, worldwide, that children especially are showing signs of deteriorating cognitive abilities due to the overuse of internet and mobile phone technology. The EMF's emitting from Wi-Fi and cell phone can cause a type of disorganization of the brain, which affects our ability to learn, as well as to remember.
2. Increased Risk of Certain Types of Cancer
A study conducted in the year 2011 shows that long exposure to these EMF's, especially the excessive use of cell phone can cause 9 type of cancer, including brain cancer, testicular cancer, cancer of the salivary gland, thyroid cancer, leukemia, and breast cancer.
3. Risk to Fertility and Sperm Count
If you noticed the infertility rate problems seem to be increasing? There are studies that show that the radiation from cell phones can have serious effect on a man's sperm count and it also affects the quality of the sperm itself
4. Possible Cause of ADHD
In a study done at Yale University, a cell phone was suspended above a cage full of pregnant mice.
The phone was transmitting the entire 17 days that the mice were pregnant.
The offspring of those mice were later tested and all showed signs of ADHD, as well as altered brain patterns that were permanent.
5. Interrupted Sleep
Cell phones that are kept next to the bed seem to affect REM sleep.
If you find that you are having difficulty sleeping, turn off all electronic devices before bedtime and see if you notice a difference.
6. Affects Immune System
In a report published in 2007, the BioInitiative Report had evidence that showed EMF’s were responsible for a dramatic change in the body’s immune system response, causing it to become confused and unreliable.
7. Alzheimer’s
Scientists have conducted research studies that show EMF radiation can lead to some very serious diseases of the brain such as cancer as well as Alzheimer’s, and Parkinson’s disease.
8. Chronic Stress
In the same study submitted by the BioInitiative Report, it was stated that the constant flow of EMF’s caused the body to respond in the same manner it would to chronic stress, by increasing stress hormones and proteins, which are one of the causes of heart disease and a lowered immune system response.
9. Causes Childhood Cancer
A group of international scientists stated their studies showed that continued exposure to radioactive EMF’s could be behind the rise in childhood cancers, especially leukemia.
10. Birth Defects
Other studies link the over exposure of EMF’s to enzyme changes that actually affect a person’s DNA and the growth of cells, which can result in birth defects in fetuses and various cancers later in life.
