The Dark Side of Technology: How to Protect Yourself From EMFs

In today’s ultra-connected world, most of us couldn’t even fathom going an entire day without checking our cell phones, logging into our laptops, or sitting down to watch TV. And while these modern wonders have certainly improved our lives in a myriad of ways – our reliance on technology has a dark side you may not realize. Our never-ending exposure to climbing levels of the electromagnetic fields, or EMFs, emitted by our electronic devices can have a serious impact on your health.

Today, we’re going to dive into exactly why these EMFs are so damaging – and most importantly, how you can protect yourself from their damaging effects without going “off the grid.”

Exactly What Are Electromagnetic Fields (EMFs)?

An electromagnetic field is an invisible field of energy created by the motion and flow of an electrical current. This invisible field of energy is considered a type of radiation and is emitted anytime a current of electricity travels in any given direction.¹

EMFs can come from a number of different sources. Some EMFs occur naturally – the earth, the sun, and even our own bodies create EMF’s. But since we’ve harnessed the power of electricity, most of the EMF’s we encounter today come from man-made sources such as:

• Computers
• Radio signals
• Televisions
• Power lines
• Cell phones
• Wi-Fi
• Bluetooth 
• Smart meters (digital electric and gas meters that measure utility consumption)
• X-rays
• MRI’s
• UV lights

And while exposure to this low-level radiation may not be visible to the naked eye, the effects of EMFs on our healths are anything but invisible.

Are EMFs Harmful to Humans?

Our bodies are designed to deal with a barrage of potentially harmful irritants – including EMFs. But when our exposure to the low levels of radiation emitted by EMFs is constant and cumulative over years and years – our bodies simply can’t combat the damage. Over time, exposure to EMFs can lead to some serious and even life-threatening conditions including:^2,3,4,5

• Chronic fatigue
• Skin conditions and rashes
• Muscle aches and pains
• Digestive issues
• Cancer
• Reproductive issues
• Neurological disorders and deficits

While more research is needed to understand exactly how EMF’s exert their harmful effects, we do have a pretty clear idea of one of the ways EMFs cause damage. Let’s take a closer look.

What Exactly Do EMFs Do to Your Body?

The damage caused by EMFs is likely a combination of factors, but one thing we know for sure is that EMFs wreak havoc in the body by causing an increase in harmful free radicals. It goes something like this:^6,7,8

• Exposure to EMFs causes a spike in free radicals: Free radicals are highly unstable and reactive atoms. They’re normal and healthy when levels are in check. But when free radical levels spike, these reactive atoms begin damaging healthy cells through a process called oxidation.
• Oxidative damage increases: As these free radicals make their way through your body, they begin oxidizing and injuring important components of your healthy cells. This accumulation of damage to your healthy cells can impair the cell’s ability to function properly and even cause cellular death.
• Oxidative damage leads to permanent injury: This oxidative damage can be destructive to the proteins, lipids, and even the DNA that make up your cells. This can lead to permanent damage that impedes the way cells function and alters their ability to reproduce. These changes at the cellular level are what cause the harmful and sometimes deadly conditions that have been linked to EMF exposure.

Chronic exposure to EMFs can have a serious impact on your health. And with our reliance on technology, you’re probably wondering how on earth you can protect yourself. So let’s dive into exactly how you can protect yourself and your loved ones from the harmful effects of EMFs.

How Can I Protect Myself From EMF’s?

If you take a look around you – whether you’re at the office, at home, or even outside – chances are you can identify more than a few electronic devices nearby. In fact, if you’re reading this, you’re likely staring at a screen right now. And you’ve likely also come to the conclusion that avoiding EMFS is all but impossible in our modern world.

The truth is, we’re all going to be inevitably exposed to rising EMF levels. Modern technology has improved our lives in so many ways, so of course, we want to enjoy the benefits – even if that means exposure to EMFs. 

The key to combating the damaging effects of these inevitable EMFs is being proactive and taking a “big picture” approach. Here’s what you can do to protect yourself and your loved ones:

Improve Your Body’s Ability to Cope With EMFs:

• Practice earthing or grounding to help stabilize your internal bioelectric environment (learn more about earthing while you sleep by clicking here).
• Eat a well-rounded, nutrient-dense diet to counteract oxidative damage caused by EMF’s.
• Take steps to reduce your overall toxic burden so your body is better able to process EMF exposure.

Minimize Exposure to EMFs:

• Keep devices like tablets and cell phones away from your body when not in use.
• Unplug your Wi-fi router when you’re not using it.
• Use an ethernet cord instead of Wi-fi whenever possible.
• Keep your devices in airplane mode or off when you’re not using them. 

While these steps to protect yourself from EMFs can go a long way, there’s still a hefty amount of EMF exposure entirely out of our control. Fortunately, there is another step you can take to defend yourself.

A Simple Solution to Protect Yourself Against EMFs

We can’t all move off the grid or start putting tinfoil in the windows to ward off EMF exposure. That’s why Aires Tech has developed cutting-edge research and technology designed to combat EMF exposure. Their patented technology has been rigorously tested and scientifically proven to protect against EMFs. Their products have been carefully designed to shield you from EMF exposure. 

They accomplish this with sleek devices that you can apply directly to your electronics, wear on your body, or even set up in your home or office. These devices work by absorbing and restructuring harmful EMFs – transforming them into a more biologically compatible form of radiation. This restructuring minimizes the conflict between the external radiation from electronic devices and the natural radiation emitted from your cells.  

Set Yourself Up for Success

EMF exposure is only growing as our reliance on technology grows exponentially. And like I always say, when it comes to your health, you are your own best advocate. Staying informed and being proactive is hands-down your best defense against the effects of EMFs.

And I strongly believe that investing in Aires Tech products is one of the best decisions you can make when it comes to your health and longevity. Aires Tech’s products are sleek, affordable – and most importantly – powerfully effective. Just take a look at the research and studies backing their technology.
