Technological advances are supposed to improve our lives, but what happens when we are checking the phone every five minutes?
The existence of smartphones, chats and social networks has made us need to check our mobile on a very regular basis, even if it is not ringing, almost compulsively.
Stress caused by mobile phones
The British Psychological Society published a study on the influence of smartphones on stress, in a conference titled “Super Useful and Super Stress Cycle”. In it, how people acquire a smartphone to manage their heavy workload is raised, but this clashes with the need to keep up with their social and virtual life. All this leads to a state of stress and worry that, like a fish that bites its tail, leads to constantly checking the mobile.
In addition, researchers say that talking for more than eight hours on a cell phone causes oxidative stress in the salivary glands and tissues on the side of the head on which it is spoken. Coming to consider this as a risk factor for cancer.
In line with these studies, there are many more that link behavior problems as well as irritability and stress to the excessive use of smartphones.
Avoid reaching a situation of pressure, bad mood and stress due to your personal and work life through your mobile and treat yourself to a few hours of disconnection daily, practice sports, do meditation or simply look for an alternative that takes you away for at least an hour daily use of the mobile. Your physical and psychological health will thank you and you will look and feel better.
