      Expectant mothers in the new era are indispensable in dealing with various electrical appliances in life and work, such as computers, printers, microwave ovens, etc., and these appliances will produce a certain amount of radiation, thus affecting the health of the abdomen. fetus The normal development of pregnant women, how to protect themselves from radiation has become one of the most concerned issues for expectant mothers.

      So, how should pregnant women protect themselves from radiation in daily life?

      1. Supplement nutrition

      Computer operators should eat more carrots, cabbage, bean sprouts, tofu, red dates, oranges and milk, egg , animal liver, lean meat and other foods to supplement the vitamin A and protein needed by the human body. You can also drink more tea. The active substances such as tea polyphenols in tea are beneficial to absorbing and resisting radioactive substances.

      2. Don’t stay behind the computer

      The placement of your computer is important. Try not to let the back of the screen face people, because the computer radiates the strongest radiation from the back, followed by the left and right sides, and the front of the screen radiates the weakest.

      3. Don’t let electrical appliances cluster together

      Do not place household appliances too close together or use them together frequently. In particular, TVs, computers, and refrigerators should not be placed together in the bedroom to avoid exposing yourself to the risk of excessive doses of radiation.

      4. Use water to absorb electromagnetic waves

      A good working environment should be maintained indoors, such as comfortable temperature, clean air, etc. Because water is the best medium for absorbing electromagnetic waves, you can put a few more bottles of water around the computer. However, it must be a plastic bottle or a glass bottle, and metal cups must not be used to hold water.

      5. Reduce standby

      When electrical appliances are suspended from use, it is best not to leave them in standby mode for a long time, because a weak electromagnetic field can be generated at this time, and long-term standby will also produce radiation accumulation.

      6. Wash your face and hands promptly

      There is a large amount of static electricity on the surface of the computer screen, and the accumulated dust can be transferred to the exposed skin of the face and hands. Over time, rashes and pigmentation are prone to occur, and in severe cases, it may even cause skin disease It will change, so you should wash your face and hands promptly after use.

      7. Don’t be impatient when answering the phone

      The electromagnetic radiation released by the mobile phone is the largest when you talk at the moment it is connected and when it is charging, so it is best to answer the call after the mobile phone rings for one or two seconds. Do not answer calls while charging.

      Finally, expectant mothers do not have to go overboard and not touch any electrical products at all. As long as they establish correct concepts, keep a distance when using them, and reduce the time of use, they can safely spend their pregnancy.

      Expert advice, If you must wear radiation-proof clothing to feel "peaceful," it is recommended that expectant mothers should not wear it all the time, especially when outdoors, and must take it off because it will block the infrared and ultraviolet rays in the sun. They can promote fetal development, kill pathogenic microorganisms, and improve the resistance of pregnant women.
