Hardening of arteries......?
Is it possible that once you keep on putting your cellphone in you breast pocket, there's a tendency that your arteries will harden? I am just curious. Thank you.
Thank you so much for your informative answers.
I mean to your informative answers. From now on, I will not put my cellphone in my breast pockets or use my crochetted cellphone holder that I hang on my neck.
Again, thank you so much and GOD BLESS ALL OF US.

Keeping your cell phone in the chest pocket may interfere with the electrical conduction system of your heart. If you keep it in your trousers (pants), your gonads may affected by its electromagnetic radiation.
Atherosclerosis (also known as Arteriosclerotic Vascular Disease or ASVD) is the condition in which an artery wall thickens as the result of a build-up of fatty materials such as cholesterol.

Hardening of the arteries, Atherosclerosis, is a genetic disease. Cell phones and their electromagnetic effects, which cannot be that much, may or may not have any relations to the disease.
There has never been a recognized study that supports this theory.
All of those who say it does, need to point to the research study supporting their response.
Billions of people across the world, including the President of US carrys a cell phone, at least he used to. If the harm was proven, wouldn't they talk about it in the news...all the time?
In order to avoid this fear, you must attach a pole, 2 meters in length, to your body and hang your phone from the end of it, away from any part of your body....

Scientists have proved that mobile phones affect the organs of the body. Are we carrying a hazard with us everyday?
* The electro-magnetic radiations that radiate from a mobile phone are known to affect the pacemaker, S.A node of the heart and affect the rhythmic heartbeat.
* They interfere with the impulses which the S.A node produce.
* These radiations also are known to affect the neurones in the brain. The radiations interfere with the electrical impulses that two neurones connect each other with.
* So when you are talking on the phone, with the phone placed around the ear, the neurones around the ear get affected. This can lead to deafness and migraines.
* The phones placed in the front pockets can affect the heart leading to arrhythmic heartbeats.
* These radiations have been known to affect the fetus in pregnancy.
Measures to prevent or reduce these hazards!
* Always make sure the phones are kept in not your front pockets but in the pockets of your trousers or pants, away from the heart. specially when using pace-makers
* Avoid using vibration mode of the mobile phone.
* If possible use handsfree or loudspeakers on your phone.
* Avoid overuse of mobile phones.
* Use landlines more than mobile phones if possible.

No, I don't be;ive there is any evidence of cellphones causing atheroscelerois. This condition can be caused by many factors such as age, genetic factors, or lifestyle and diet. I don't believe that the cellphone is a contributory factor.
