Most people like to casually slip their smartphones into their back jean pocket or front shirt pocket and you are probably no stranger to that particular habit. But medical experts have been saying for a while that it’s not necessarily the best or healthiest thing to do. 

According to povidr, it may be safer to keep your smartphone away from certain areas of your body and here are eight good reasons for it:

1. Women should avoid keeping their phones anywhere near their chest area (in their bras or shirt-fronts) because there is compelling evidence of smartphone radiation being linked to cancer, including breast cancer.
On that note, it is probably a good idea to keep it away from the area where your reproductive organs are as well.

2. Smartphone radiation can also affect men’s sperm count and quality. If you care about your reproduction capabilities, it’s probably a good idea to keep your smartphone away from your groin area.

Not just directly your groin area though, it might be wise to keep it away from your lower half altogether.

That means trying not to store your smartphone too close to your body including in your back or side pants pockets.

3. Another reason to not put your smartphone in your back pockets is that your smartphone will affect your sciatic nerve.

Neurologists have noted that patients complaining of pain in legs and buttocks may have developed issues because of where they stored their smartphones.

4. Thirty per cent of calls of emergency/Save our Soul calls made in Nigeria occurred as a result of pocket-dialing. This is another good reason to avoid keeping your smartphone in your pants.

5. One more reason to avoid keeping your smartphone in your back pockets? You might sit on it and crack the screen or it just might accidentally slip into the toilet.

Not keeping your smartphone in your back pockets can help you avoid unnecessarily damaging your smartphone.

6. Your phone generates heat, but sometimes it can get so hot you might experience second or third degree burns.

7. Radiation from smartphones can affect your mental health. Research has shown that your brain’s metabolism can be affected.

Another point about mental health is that keeping your smartphone constantly near you can leave you feeling confused and depressed when you’re not actually using your phone.

8. Constantly using your smartphone can wreck your sleeping pattern and cause sleeping disorders

247nigerianewsupdate.co Jun 6, 2017 12:29 PM Here’s the 2014 report culled from Daily Mail;  “A married Premier League footballer who already has three children by his wife and mistress has just taken a second bride in his native Cote’Ivoire (pictured with second wife, Doukrou Laeticia ). Cheick Tiote, 28, who earns £45,000 a week playing for Newcastle United, reportedly wed Laeticia Doukrou in a traditional ceremony earlier this month, saying taking another wife was ‘nothing unusual’ given he is a Muslim. But news of the second wedding came as a surprise to his first wife, Madah, 25, who is said to have only found out about it on Facebook. Madah, who lives with Tiote and their two children in a £1.5m house in a village outside Newcastle, reportedly fainted with shock when she saw the photographs of her husband marrying another woman.

Where is Omar Borkan Al-Gala? | The man who was “deported from Saudi for being too handsome”

Image
By Roqeebah Olaoniye You may remember his face from April 2013 when almost every news outlet reported that the Saudi Arabian Police deported three men from the Kingdom for being too handsome. “Earlier this week, three men were forcibly removed from a culture festival in Saudi Arabia after religious police deemed the men “too handsome”. – UK’s Independent reported on the 26th of April 2013 . The Independent’s report relied on an “Arabic language newspaper Elaph”, which reported that a “festival official said the three Emiratis were taken out on the grounds they are too handsome and that the Commission [for the Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vices] members that concerns that female visitors could fall for them.” One of these three illegally handsome men turned out to be Omar Borkan Al-Gala: Ridiculously handsome right? Within a few hours, the internet was ablaze with photos of identifying Omar as one of the deported handsome men. Omar did nothing to quell the rumours. In ...
