We have now been hearing it for a long time that mobile phones are injurious to health if used for a prolonged period of time. But many of us still are not aware how much is really true.

Cell phones are a big necessity in today’s time. In fact,Cell Phones Are Injurious to Health? Articles we have got so used to them that sometimes we even do not want to hear anything against using them. Mobile phones have made communication so much easier nowadays that it is practically impossible to expect anyone to stay without being connected.

There have been so many brain diseases that have been linked to cell phones and their harmful radiations. The fact that we are holding such a powerful radiation emitting device so near to our head is scary enough. But surprisingly it does not affect people when they are using them. Early ageing of brain tissues as well as permanent brain damage have been linked to misuse of mobile phones in many research studies without fail.

In fact research in this field has been going on for a long time. Around fifty years back, even before the rise of these microwave generating devices, a scientist named Allan Fray had realized that this is going to be hazardous to mankind. And since then, it is as if the whole world has just been ignoring it or rather they do not have a better option that can help them in resolving their necessity to stay connected at all times.

Research has proved that cell phones are more harmful for kids rather than adults. Since the brains and other body parts of kids are still developing, it is the best that they stay out of the reach of cell phones. The more they get exposed to these harmful microwaves, the more their brain gets permanently damaged. Also, pregnant ladies are asked to minimize their use of mobiles so that the fetus does not get affected from these rays. Cancer has been a common result where prolonged usage of cell phone has been noticed. Tumors of the brain as well as parotid gland which is our salivary gland has been noticed the most. Also, since men have a habit of carrying cell phones in their back pocket, research has shown that even sperm count gets lowered due to over exposure of sperms to these harmful rays.

The point to be noted here is that all those areas of the body which are either in direct contact to cell phones are affected or even those body parts that have more of liquid content in them are affected easily like brains, glands etc. This is because these harmful microwaves travel much easily via the liquid medium rather than anywhere else. But there is good news as well. It has always been noted that prolonged usage of mobiles affects your body but if you use these wonderful devices only for emergency, then these are truly a blessing. Mobile phones and their accessories have become an integral part of our lives and would be difficult to give up, so the only option left for us is to restrict its usage and search for other alternatives like internet, land phones, and even the older ways like letters and postcards too.
