Protect Your Home from EMF Radiation

Our homes should be places of sanctuary, rest, safety and rejuvenation. Yet, while most of us do our best to create a safe space for ourselves and loved ones, many of us are unaware of critical sources of potential danger—Electric and Magnetic Fields (EMFs).

EMF radiation is emitted from our wireless electronics, appliances, laptops/computers, and Personal Assistants (Alexa, Google Home, Facebook Portal, etc.). These technological conveniences, found in many homes, could be polluting our homes and harming our health and well-being.

Dangers on the home-front.

Smart technology, including wireless phones, televisions, ovens, refrigerators, dishwashers, washing/drying machines all wirelessly communicate constantly with satellites and the cloud, to collect and receive the data they require to function properly. This constant chatter creates electro-smog within the walls of our homes.

In addition, non-Smart appliances and smart meters also emit radiation due to the electrical wiring in homes. It’s commonly referred to as “dirty electricity”.[1]

What is dirty electricity?

Dirty electricity is caused when we plug our direct current (DC) electronics into our alternative current (AC) electrical wired houses. Direct current is a constant flow of electrical current, going one direction, while alternative current changes its flow direction periodically. When DC electronics are plugged into an outlet in your home, it interrupts the AC. The interruption causes fluctuating, high-frequency voltage noise, spikes, pulses, and distortions. The disruption leads to your electrical wiring to create RF (Radio-frequency) and EMF radiation, which seeps into homes through the walls.[2]

Staying safe.

It is probably impractical and undesirable for most to live in a house without any form of electrical lighting. And since we have become so dependent upon cell phones, it’s hard to imagine a future without them. So, how does one stay safe at home? Here are a few helpful tips.

Plug-In Instead of Connecting

Attempt to use more wired devices. This includes wired phones, wired baby monitors etc. When you can, use an Ethernet cable to connect to the internet on your laptops or computers instead of using WiFi.

Keep Your Bedroom EMF Clean

Keep all electronic devices out of your bedroom and unplug things like your televisions before you go to sleep. Charge your devices away from sleeping areas. Instead of using mobile phones and tablets, invest in an old-fashioned alarm clock.

Maintain a Good Diet

Healthy food choices will help fortify your body against the harmful radiation of EMF’S. Choose foods that have high ORAC (Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity). This means, you want eat a lot of antioxidant-rich foods, also called “superfoods”. The list includes: spinach, berries, oranges, bell peppers, nuts and seeds, watermelon, green leafy vegetables, carrots, and most fruits. All of these foods are rich in Vitamin A, B, C , Lutein, and Beta-carotene.[3] [4]

Invest in EMF Protective Products.

If you have the resources to spare, invest in the many products now available that will help shield you from and lower your exposure to radiation. There are lap shields for you to place under your laptop when you’re not working at a desk. Window shields for windows in your home. There are also shielding paints that reduce the radiation seeping into your home from the wiring inside the walls. There are many other products including: jewelry, blankets, phones cases, bed canopies, and more.
