Nigeria’s heavy reliance on smartphones, Wi-Fi, and digital tech may be doing more harm than we think. With an average life expectancy of just 55, far below the global 73.5, experts are raising red flags. Professor Abiodun Adebayo believes constant exposure to electromagnetic radiation (EMR) from our everyday gadgets is quietly affecting our health, contributing to sleep issues, anxiety, and even infertility. And it’s not just the radiation, our increasingly indoor, screen-focused lifestyles are cutting us off from natural sunlight and vital physical activity.
Adebayo’s findings show alarmingly high EMR levels from common devices. His advice? Don’t sleep with your phone nearby, soak up sunlight daily, and use earphones instead of pressing your phone to your ear. He also suggests using EMR-reducing tools like the Bio Disc, Chi Pendant, and eGuard X.
With 5G and mobile use rising fast in Nigeria, experts say it's time for more public awareness, and simple changes that could protect our health in the long run.
