A study published in Express reports that spending too much time on your phone can increase your risk development of high blood pressure by 25 percent.
A sedentary lifestyle, non-compliance with a diet, alcohol abuse and smoking – all this can provoke the appearance of hypertension.
There are also non-obvious reasons. A study published in Express found that phone calls and social media have a negative effect on blood pressure. Just 30 minutes a week can increase your risk of developing hypertension.
Hypertension is a condition in which blood pressure is consistently higher than normal. The danger is that it can become a symptom of more serious diseases, such as stroke and heart attack.
Whether you're on the phone with a friend or chatting for work, researchers recommend keeping your phone to a minimum.
The results of the study showed that people who talked on the phone for more than half an hour a week, 12 percent more prone to hypertension. What's more, six hours of phone calls a week increased your risk by 25 percent.
“For heart health, the number of minutes people spend talking on the phone is important: the more minutes, the higher the risk of developing hypertension,”says Professor Xianhui Qin from Guangzhou Southern Medical University.
The professor also suggested that social networking may not affect the risk of developing hypertension if the duration of weekly calls does not exceed 30 minutes.
It is important to remember that you should not sleep next to the phone. Electromagnetic radiation affects our biorhythms, which leads to insomnia, nightmares and frequent nocturnal awakenings.
In another study, researchers followed participants for 12 years, taking into account factors such as age, gender, smoking, blood pressure, and more.
The results showed that the percentage risk of developing hypertension is directly related to the time of using mobile phones per week:
from 30 to 59 minutes – 8 percent
from 1 to 3 hours – 13 percent
4 to 6 hours – 16 percent
More than 6 hours – 25 percent
Mobile devices emit RF energy, which is absorbed by almost all of our body. Based on this, not only blood pressure is negatively affected, but also vision, memory, hearing and psycho-emotional well-being.
Children are more affected by mobile devices than adults. The impact of radio waves on a child's body can lead to a decrease in immunity, memory impairment and anxiety.
Scientists emphasize that these data need better research. The final conclusions can be drawn in the future, when the material accumulates.
