Plug It In

Wireless everything sure is convenient – but is it really bad for us?

Most of us are pretty much wireless most of the time. According to Camilla Rees, author of “Public Health SOS,” the fewer wires we have the more radiation we’re exposed to. WiFi signals are a strong source of electromagnetic radiation. As long as we’re using a device without wires, we’re being exposed. That goes for computers, smartphones, and even cordless phones.

It’s actually better to hardwire our stuff whenever possible. If you just can’t stand wires – consider keeping your router as close as possible to the equipment it’s feeding. If you’re already hardwired, don’t forget to disable the WiFi settings on your devices so they’re not constantly searching for a signal.
