How to reduce their negative impact on our health? It would be best to completely avoid them and not to use them. Nowadays, however, many cannot imagine life without them, so another solution needs to be found. Fortunately, there are several ways to do this:

• move away from EMF source whenever possible
• turn off the source of EMF when not in use
• for frequent and long calls use earphones with rubber ear ducts or loudspeaker mode
• preffer cable (Ethernet) over WIFI
• if you want to protect yourself properly from EMF emissions, use shading pads, foils, paints, curtains, etc.

Other factors affecting our health

• environmental factors (air, soil and air pollution)
• heavy metals (amalgam tooth fillings, vaccines, marine animals, cosmetics,…)
• plastics
• mold
• VOC (volatile organic compounds)
• non-stick cookware like teflon pans (PFOA)

I will guide you through all these factors, as well as others, and teach you to choose the healthiest, avoid the most harmful, and reduce the negative impact of those we cannot imagine life without.
