You Might Have Heard About Electro-smog…

You might have heard about electro-smog and its possible effects on health. I have heard people throw this term around when referring to wireless devices, cell towers, or even our kitchen appliances. But what exactly is electro-smog, and why do some people worry about it?

Simply put, electro-smog—or "electromagnetic pollution"—is the invisible energy that surrounds us, produced by the everyday devices we rely on, like:

1. cell phones and smartphones

2. Wi-Fi routers

3. Computers and tablets

4. Microwave ovens

5. Bluetooth Devices like headphones, speakers, and smartwatches (the ones that use Bluetooth to communicate with other devices)

6. Smart Home Devices like smart TVs, thermostats, voice assistants, and smart light bulbs connecting to home networks

7. Household Appliances like refrigerators, washing machines, and even vacuum cleaners when they’re running

8. Power Lines and Electrical Wiring & Cell Towers and Radio Broadcast Antennas

9. Even Electric Vehicles!

I’m not here to scare you or suggest moving to the middle of the mountains to avoid electro-smog! Let’s be real—technology is a huge part of modern life. It brings us so many benefits. Every step forward in civilization has its perks as well as a few downsides, and electro-smog is just one of those things that comes with the convenience of our tech-driven world.

The key is to understand it so we can make smarter choices. By learning about electro-smog, you can make simple adjustments. This way, you can enjoy the best of technology while taking small steps to look out for your well-being.

Types of Electromagnetic Fields

1. Low-Energy Waves: Most of the electro-smog in our daily lives comes from low-energy waves, which don’t directly harm our bodies. These include (1) Radio Waves: These waves allow our cell phones and Wi-Fi to connect us to the world; and (2) Electric Waves: Found in everyday devices like microwaves, power lines, and other household gadgets.

2. High-Energy Waves: These are stronger waves, like X-rays, which are used in medical settings. Unlike low-energy waves, high-energy waves can have a more direct effect on our cells if we’re exposed to them too long. Luckily, we rarely encounter these in everyday life, so they’re not part of the electro-smog we experience daily.

With so many devices in use, scientists and health experts are studying whether daily exposure to electro-smog could have any effects on our health. While research is ongoing, experts are setting guidelines on safe levels of exposure to help us enjoy our tech-filled lives with peace of mind.

As we said above, electro-smog, also known as electromagnetic pollution, refers to the electromagnetic radiation (EMR) and electromagnetic fields (EMFs) emitted by various electronic and wireless devices. You can do your own research and see organizations like the FCC, IEEE, and ICNIRP that set exposure standards for EMFs.

A simple test

I am quite sure that you are aware of electro-smog, but since you cannot touch it, it seems almost impossible to prove it. Personally, I like to check things out and see them with my own eyes. So let's look at this very simple test with our character holding a cell phone and not holding a cell phone. Let's see how much power she ends up with.

Mitochondria

One great thing about your body is mitochondria. Mitochondria are organelles (any number of organized or specialized structures within a living cell) that produce energy for the cell's biochemical reactions. Mitochondria are often called the "powerhouses of the cell" because they generate most of the chemical energy a cell needs.

They’re like little power plants inside your cells. Some cells like your brain, heart, or nerves have a lot of mitochondria. This means that these cells can make more energy than others. That’s why "those cells" may feel stronger, more balanced, and faster. Mitochondria are super important because they control energy. They can make more energy just by changing the electrical charge in your body.

Simply put, the BionicBand touches your skin, sends energy throughout your body, and affects cells, especially in places like your heart, brain, and nerves. This can help with balance, strength, and coordination.

Should I change my Lifestyle?

No need to mention that urban areas generally have higher electro-smog levels due to dense networks of devices. However, one is still exposed to the electro-smog even in the household from the very childhood (even baby monitors emit these waves).

One way to go about the electro-smog is to limit the time spend on electronics, limit the usage of the mentioned appliances. Another way is to go outside and walk barefoot. Connecting with Mother Nature will help you ground your body and adjust the wavelengths. Or simply, wear the BionicBand that will do that for you. I hope this blog has helped.
