In the recent past the news of linking mobile phones to brain cancer has been upbeat. Although, WHO has just given a warning, this is not yet proven.
My understanding goes like this....
There is something called as Glial cells that supports neurons inside the brain. It provides oxygen to neurons which keeps us going (probably thinking! and inking!). The brain cancer which they are talking about destroys these cells. So...just imagine the damage it could cause to our central nervous system and the brain.
While WHO is pursuing advanced research in this topic, all I can think of is "Why take the risk and get into trouble?". After all, life is hear to live and just not talk....!
I think we are in the era where it is just not possible to avoid cell phones....well possibly yes for a few....but probably a big NO for most of us. So, here are few tips that I can give you from personal front
1. Use cellphone just when it is required and avoid general blah blah....!
2. Wherever possible, use SMS instead of talking. You may use a cell phone with a QWERTY keypad which is quite common and affordable these days. It makes SMS easy.
3. As much as possible, use hands free to talk....well thanks to the contribution of Indian Cinema which has made the younger generation latch on to listening music while on the move/working.
4. Use a simple handset instead of touch panels unless there is a real need for one. The world is already complicated with too many confusions. Let us not add complex gadgets and devices and confuse ourselves.
5. Avoid exposing children to mobile phones. They already have too much exposure to radiation.
6. Last but not the least, convey this healthy message to your friends and relatives.
