Heart disease is a lifestyle disease. Yes, there are genetic or hereditary factors that play a role, but how you choose to live has a major impact. By lifestyle this makes me automatically think diet choices and activity level, but there are other factors that fall under "lifestyle".

Some of these factors would include:

Do you smoke?
Do you live under high levels of stress?

Have you ever thought about wifi or cell phone radiation as contributing?

You are probably familiar with the concerns about living too close to high voltage power lines. Power lines emit electromagnetic radiation. Did you know many other things you probably bring into your home emit this same radiation? Microwave ovens, cell phones, wireless routers, game stations, cordless phones, etc.

Granted at lower levels, but still you are living in an environment receiving constant exposure to low dose radiation.

Before I go further, let me clarify that there are researchers on both "sides of the fence" on this issue. Some studies show no connection between the constant low dose radiation exposure and health (many of which are funded by wireless companies) and other studies that show a direct correlation.

In this article I'm not able to share with you everything you need to know to explain why you need to be concerned and the steps you can take, but my goal is to make you aware of this so you can look further and learn more about what you need to do to protect yourself and your family.

Health Connections

Here are the different conditions and symptoms that have a link to electromagnetic radiation:

Allergies
ALS
Alzheimer's
ADD/ADHD
Asperger's syndrome
Autism Spectrum Disorder
Cancer
Cataracts
Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
Depression
Dizziness
Headaches/Migraines
Infertility
Insomnia
Immune Suppression
Tinnitus
Parkinsonn's
Sleep Disorders

Cardiac conditions including angina, arrhythmia, hypertension, and tachycardia

Electrical impulses are what trigger the heart to beat. This internal electrical system is vulnerable to outside electromagnetic fields.

If you are consistently exposed to electromagnetic radiation you may feel irregularities in your heart rate and rhythm. The electromagnetic radiation can also lead to increased levels of free radicals, which then impact inflammation. Inflammation has a direct connection to heart disease.

Here are a few of the biological effects of electromagnetic radiation:

• DNA damage and disrupted DNA repair
• Immune system suppression
• Irregular functioning of neurological, cardiovascular, and endocrine systems
• Leakage between the blood-brain barrier
• Impaired cognitive function and reaction time
• Increased sleep disruptions and agitation
• Disrupted communication between cells

What can you do to reduce your exposure?

Connect your home computer to the internet via an Ethernet cable, shut off/disable the wireless router. If you must have wifi access, only turn it on when you are using it.
