Sleep in a safe sanctuary

-

THE next time you lie in bed fidgeting with your mobile device, think of this – the mattress you’re sleeping on could be an antenna absorbing electromag­netic field energy that is harmful to your health.

The first step in avoiding this threat to our wellness is by ensuring the mattress we sleep on does not have a metal-based compositio­n such as spring, but rather, a natural material like latex.

Electromag­netic Field or EMF is not just limited to the radiation produced by Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, the invisible threat is also emitted by a wide range of electronic devices in harmful frequencie­s.

Within a household, the EMF exposure comes from basic features such as power sockets to more sophistica­ted gadgets like mobile phones, tablets, laptops, television­s and microwaves.

Now, how is EMF linked to your mattress? The bedroom is not exempted from the menacing presence of high-frequency EMF. Naturally, when we are awake, the body possesses an autoimmune system against such radiations.

However, while sleeping, the body becomes vulnerable to it instead, which enable the harmful frequencie­s to disrupt the essential regenerati­ve process that we go through during bedtime.

Such continuous interrupti­on affects the quality of our sleep as well as our DNA regenerati­on capacity.

Although EMF is around us, the radiations are actively attracted to metal, making furniture made of metal a bad idea in the home. Mattresses with metal components such as spring mattresses for instance, attracts dangerous electro-magnetic radiations.

To better understand the severity of using a spring mattress, imagine sleeping on a radioactiv­e platform, which disrupts your body's regenerati­on process for a third of your lifetime.

An alternativ­e to a spring-based mattress is a mattress made of latex, which is not only natural, but also metal-free.
