Nine Effective Tips to Prevent Computer Radiation
A useful guide helps to prevent computer radiation.
- Place several potted cactus beside your computer as they can effectively absorb the radiation released by the computer.
- For those who have a tight schedule or have to rush for work, the simplest way to curb computer radiation is by simply drinking 2 to 3 cups of green tea and eating an orange. As green tea can be assimilated by the body easily into a form of vitamin A, which is later synthesised into a substance called rhodopsin, it helps reducing radiation. Also, rhodopsin helps keeping our eyes see things clearly in the dark by improving the visual ability, and at the same time protects us from the hazard of the computer radiation. Besides green tea, chrysanthemum tea, spirulina, Sea buckthorn oil also has the role of anti-radiation.
- Make sure you do a skincare protection before sitting in front of the computer. Apply a layer of facial mask to prevent yourself from the hazard of radiation. Remember to rinse your face with clean alkaline water to eliminate some electromagnetic radiation particles that may have attached to the surface of your face. Make sure you wash your face promptly after using the computer in order to reduce 70% of the radiation.
- It is advisable to attach a radiation filter plate in front of your computer’s screen to reduce the hazard of radiation. Avoid putting any metal substances within the place where you place your computer as these metal substances may have reflected some of the electromagnetic waves that are harmful to your health. Adjust the brightness of your computer before using it. The brightest the screen the highest the radiation there will be and vice versa. Thus, try to adjust the screen brightness that is not too bright or too dark for your eyes to capture. In contrary, lowest level of brightness may irritate your eyes and cause your eyes strained easily. Take note that the brightness of the screen should make your eyes feel comfortable to gaze at.
- If possibly, purchase a new computer instead of using an old model computer. Old computer in general, has more radiations released than the new one within the same distance. Its radiation is usually one to two times higher than the newly developed computer.
- The position where you place your computer is important in reducing radiation. Do not let the back screen of your computer overlooking the place where people are walking around. For your information, the strongest radiation is released from the back of the screen, followed by the right and left of the screen, while the front screen releases less radiation. Make sure your eyes are placed in a distance of 50 to 75cm away from the screen to reduce the hazard of an electromagnetic radiation of the computer.
- Pay attention to the indoor ventilation. Recent research shows that the computer screen can produce a carcinogenic substance called bromine dibenzofuran, which is harmful to human’s health. Therefore, make sure the place you put your computer is ventilated by a fan or a cooler. Otherwise, you have to search for a well-ventilated place before using the computer.
- Take some foods which are rich in vitamin A and C such as carrots, cherries, apples, bean sprouts, tomatoes as a good measure to reduce the harmful effect of an indoor radiation.
- For those who have to use a computer regularly while at work or at home, their eyes may get tired and pain easily after spending longer hours looking at the screen, so it is advisable to eat some bananas. The potassium in the banana helps easing the eyes disorders. Therefore, when your eyes feel dry, pain, irritated and dull, eat some bananas to relieve these eyes symptoms. Not only it eases eyestrain but also avoid premature aging of your eyes.

Hi Marie,
Of course, you can use acidic water, but alkaline water is recommended here as it is suitable for all types of skins.

Thank you so much! I was on a hunt to get air filtering plants and didn’t see any of them listed in helping combat computer radiation. This is valuable information.

What about having the screen below below one’s eyes? If this is true I wonder what I should do with stiff necks…

Chan, I agree with the tips. I’m just wondering what I tell those who are skeptical about these tips when I tell them about it. They always want to see scientific studies or read what a doctor (MD) says about these things. Do we have medical or scientific references or other studies that back up the tips? Thank you.

Does computer radiation affect when you are pregnant?
CHAN LEE PENG | Jan 4, 2009 | Reply
To jessie,
Of course, computer radiation will affect the pregnant mothers. Therefore, pregnant mothers are strictly prohibited to stay in front of the computer. Pregnant mothers are also not allowed to use computer during pregnancy to avoid any unshielded radiation that may impact their babies.

May I request additional information on how to prevent Computer hazard?
CHAN LEE PENG | Feb 25, 2009 | Reply
To all readers,
I just say that these are the ways to PREVENT and REDUCE the computer radiation. I DON’T mean that these methods can ABSORB radiation from your body. I hope this eliminates some misunderstandings.
Take care and regard,
Chan

I think that the problem is that the industry doesn’t want us to know it, and the big companies hush up any reasearch perjudicial to them. What you expected they would say? That their produce is harmful? They will never say that! The tobacco industry has been telling us for decades that smoking is not dangerous, and yet it is.
I have seen my father investigating that issue for a many years, and I am absolutely convinced that there is a real danger.
Look, for instance, look that article: Temperature measuring of personal computer operator’s hands with the help of infrared thermography
The use of computers (another thing that big companies don’t want us to know) INCREASE the body’s temperature, and it’s proved that mobiles have similar effects.
That other article is about mobile phones effects. For this test, the device Aurospectrophotometer 2100(USA) was used. That device was developed for objective estimation of physiological and psychological state of human organism through high-frequency glow color gamma fixation. And you can see through the images that that state changes when we use a mobile phone.
Once and for all, please…open your eyes and your mind.
PS: I’m not telling that using a mobile phone or a computer will kill you immediately. I’m not a paranoic. I know that there are LOTS of more dangerous things. But is a fact that that they are not absolutely innocuous.
By the way…useful tips =)

I work with radioactive material on a daily basis… the only thing on this site that has any bearing is… and this is a stretch, the dietary stuff for antioxidants… and that is a maybe. The rest is all bull hockey and computers dont produce radiation. computer monitors of cathode ray design do however its so small it will never cause a change, unless of course you want to strap a computer monitor to your pelvis for the next twenty years then maybe you could cause something in a future generation… but you will probably just hurt your back.
GET REAL PEOPLE, open a book read about radiation, hell even search wikipedia.

In fact, I still adout these so-called tips, many scientists say there is no evidence to prove the cactus can aborsb the radiation!!!
