Are emf’s something I should avoid?

Electromagnetic fields (EMFs) are a concern that has been discussed on the Mind Pump Podcast, particularly focusing on potential health risks and the need for more research.

1. Health Concerns: EMFs are suspected to affect our DNA at a cellular level and could have long-term impacts on children, especially concerning ADD and IQ. Some researchers suggest that individuals with heavy metals in their body may be more susceptible to EMF exposure 1.

2. Practical Measures: Dr. Stephen Cabral mentions using EMF meters to ensure low exposure in living spaces, especially bedrooms, where people spend significant time. He also recommends avoiding mattresses with metal coils, which can amplify EMF exposure from devices like baby monitors and white noise machines 1.

3. Cumulative Impact: Paul Chek highlights the profound increase in electromagnetic pollution since the 1900s, emphasizing that now, with technologies like 5G, we're constantly surrounded by these frequencies. Even wireless routers in homes can influence sleep quality and overall health 2 3.

Overall, while the definitive long-term effects are still under investigation, it is prudent to minimize EMF exposure where feasible, especially in sleeping areas and for children, by using EMF meters, opting for coil-free mattresses, and turning off wireless systems at night.
