We’re currently living in a world where we’re glued to our smartphones. But, there are many reasons why you should distance yourself from your screen.

Never Carry Your Phones in Your Pocket As It Poses Risk of Depression
Most of the people carry their phones in their pocket but it may be risky as it poses threat for many diseases.
Dr Devra Davis, an American scientist who has been studying the effects of mobile phone radiation for many years, has warned mobile phones could be doing more harm than good.

The scientist said mobile phone-like radiation was being used positively in the medical field to treat liver cancer, detect cancer and enhance the absorption of drugs in the brain.

But the reason it is able to do this was because the radiation broke down the blood brain barrier, which protects the brain from foreign substances that may injure it.

Hence it can also damage DNA, affect male fertility and change the brain`s metabolism.And that`s not all- researchers have also found mobile phone use could contribute to the development of depression, diabetes and heart irregularities.
