Unless you're ready to go “man-purse” then you better find a pocket because that's all we guys have. Scott Kinnaird, 50s, executive chairman, A La Mode Inc.: If you don't already wear pants loose enough to carry a cellphone in your front pocket, you need to start, because that's where men should carry their cellphone.
'The findings indicate electromagnetic waves from a portable Wi-Fi router decrease the motile rate and increase the death rate of human sperm,' Kumiko Nakata, Head of the Research Division for Reproductive Medicine at the Yamashita Shonan Yume Research Centre in Japan, told newsGP.
In the testing procedures the FCC uses to certify that cell phones don't exceed the 1.6 watts per kilogram SAR limit, the commission chose to test the phones at a distance of between 0.59 inches and 0.98 inches (1.5cm to 2.5cm) from the body.
Here are 10 science-backed ways to boost sperm count and increase fertility in men.
- Take D-aspartic acid supplements.
- Exercise regularly.
- Get enough vitamin C.
- Relax and minimize stress.
- Get enough vitamin D.
- Try tribulus terrestris.
- Take fenugreek supplements.
- Get enough zinc.
Long-term exposure to mobile phone radiation leads to decrease in serum testosterone levels. Exposed to 30 min per day, 5 days a week for 4 weeks to 900 MHz EMF causes significant decrease in serum total testosterone level [7].
Hong Kong - A new study has found that exposure to Wifi connections lowers male fertility rates and reduces couples' chances of having children by killing sperm, adding to mounting evidence that electromagnetic waves are harmful.
The conclusions of their study, published in the Central European Journal of Urology, indicate that intensive daily exposure to a switched-on mobile phone could be linked to erectile dysfunction.
A survey found out that some 35% of people hold their phone in the non-dominant hand (right-handed people holding it in their left, left-handed people holding it in their right). Based on this, it is easy to conclude: Close to 35% of humans keep their phone in their left pocket, the rest keep it in their right pocket.
And you're going to be concerned because that
phone holds a
pocket-sized summary of your digital life.
Before your smart phone is gone
- Step 1: Use a strong screen lock.
- Step 2: Use a 'find my phone' app.
- Step 3: Attach a note.
- Step 4: Back up your photos and videos.
Cell phones emit low levels of non-ionizing radiation when in use. The type of radiation emitted by cell phones is also referred to as radio frequency (RF) energy. As stated by the National Cancer Institute, "there is currently no consistent evidence that non-ionizing radiation increases cancer risk in humans.
The blue light emitted by your cell phone screen restrains the production of melatonin, the hormone that controls your sleep-wake cycle (aka circadian rhythm). This makes it even more difficult to fall asleep and wake up the next day.
The authors of this study say devices can cause people to experience "heart arrhythmia, heart palpitations, heart flutter, or rapid heartbeat and/vasovagal symptoms such as dizziness, nausea, [and] profuse sweating."
When turned on, cell phones and other wireless devices emit RF radiation continually, even if they are not being actively used, because they are always communicating with cell towers.
Excessive use of mobile phones is bad for your psychological health. Constant over-use of mobile phones leads to increased anxiety, feelings of loneliness, and low self-esteem. Reliance on mobile phones can also cause irritation, frustration, and impatience when they cannot be used.
Just make sure the pocket is big enough for your phone, (many won't be), and avoid garments with just a stash side pocket. There's a lot of up and down movement when you run and you don't want to end up with your phone falling out and hitting the pavement. Look for shorts with a secure zip pocket or something similar.
A doctor may order other tests to check for fertility problems. You may get a blood test to check your levels of follicle-stimulating hormone, or FSH, which triggers your ovaries to prepare an egg for release each month. High FSH can mean lower fertility in women.
Laptops do not pose the same threat to women's fertility as it does to men's. Female reproductive organs are inside their body and are protected by layers of skin, muscle and different organs.
The effects of RF-EMW on DNA damage have been demonstrated in different tissues and in various studies in the last decade (94-98). De Iuliis et al. have shown high level of sperm DNA damage due to RF-EMW and reported that this damage is mainly oxidative in nature (21).
Radiation therapy to the reproductive organs as well as radiation near the abdomen, pelvis, or spine may lower sperm counts and testosterone levels, causing infertility. Radiation may also destroy sperm cells and the stem cells that make sperm.
We know that very high radiation doses can damage or kill eggs or sperm. However, diagnostic radiology (e.g., x-ray or CT) uses only low radiation doses. These doses are much lower than those that could produce destructive effects to eggs or sperm.
Conclusion: Radar radiation damages sperm quality, as shown in the reduction of sperm motility and elevation of sperm abnormality. Cease from the exposure may effect an easy recovery in sperm morphology.
