EMF from Microwaves: Why You Should Stand Back
Microwaves emit electromagnetic fields (EMFs), specifically radiofrequency (RF) EMF, which can penetrate body tissues. While modern microwaves are designed to limit EMF exposure, standing too close while they’re in use may increase your exposure. To minimize any potential risk, it's a good idea to step back 2-3 feet when using the microwave. Additionally, reducing close contact with other high-EMF devices like cell phones and Wi-Fi routers, and turning them off when not needed, can further lower overall exposure to EMFs.
How You Can Use the Drug-Induced Nutrient Depletion Handbook
The Drug-Induced Nutrient Depletion Handbook is an invaluable resource for patients who want to take control of their health while using medications. Many commonly prescribed medications can deplete essential nutrients from the body, leading to symptoms such as fatigue, muscle cramps, or mood changes. This handbook helps patients understand which nutrients might be affected by their medications and provides practical advice on how to address these deficiencies through diet or supplementation.
How MSG, a Flavor Enhancer Disrupts Your Hypothalamus and Metabolism
Monosodium glutamate (MSG) is a common food additive that enhances flavor but comes with hidden risks. Studies show that MSG can disrupt the hypothalamus, the brain's control center for hunger and hormones, leading to overeating, weight gain, and metabolic disorders. Compounding the issue, MSG often appears under misleading labels like "natural flavors" or "yeast extract," making it harder to avoid. Discover how you can protect your brain and support hypothalamic health through targeted nutrition and herbs from Standard Process and MediHerb.
