How to Reduce Cell Phone Risk for Health

Here are some ways to reduce the amount of radiation you get from cell phones. Even if some final study says there is no danger, there is no risk following these tips. So lets start with the fact that not all cell phones are created equal. Some produce more radiation then other. Use a low radiation phone. Next, consider spending less time on your cell phone. When you knowthe conversation will be long one, use wired phone. The closer your cell phone is to your body, the more radiation you get. Holding a phone 2 inches from your ear dramatically reduces the amount of radiation zapping your brain. You'd think that using a hands-free earpieces is safe, but actually wired earpieces can serve as an antenna that actually concentrates the radiation that your phone received.
The safest way to use a cell phone is tho hold it away from your body and use the speaker phone setting. Almost every one agrees that radiation exposure in that mode is minimal.
Many may not routinely use the speakerphone setting. it eliminates privacy and isn't practical in many situations. But there is still a way to reduce radiation, even when you must hold the cell next to your ear. Simply shift the phone from one ear to the other at regular intervals. That means you are not concentrating all that radiation on one side of your head.
The last tip involves those bars displayed on the cell phone screen. The bars indicate the strength of the signal. Cell phonesare most dangerous when the signal is very weak. Here is why: In weak signal areas the cell phone cranks up its power automatically in an attempt to compensate. So you are exposed to more radiation during times like that.
Use cell phones wisely and take care of your health.
