Whether you’re looking to gain a bit of muscle, study better for an exam, become energized for vacation, etc. the number one recommendation you receive is to change or add certain food into your diet. Protein to help muscle gains, nuts to help you study better, and tons of fruits and veggies to help you glow on your next vacation. So it’s no surprise that making tweaks to what we ingest can also boost our efforts to prevent dangerous EMF radiation exposure and reduce EMF sensitivity.
You can easily add these herbs and supplements into your diet. They’re a great way for novice and experienced members of the EMF radiation community to step up your game. While EMF sensitivity may not always be within your control, you can still feel empowered and safe with these anti-radiation herbs and supplements.
1. Reishi
The Reishi Mushroom is known in a variety of different health circles for its plethora of benefits. It’s known to help prevent cancer, shrink existing tumors, fight off cognitive decline, boost the immune system, and even help fight against depression. Therefore, it should be a little surprise that this superfood has the number one spot on our list in its ability to help protect you from EMF radiation. Numerous studies reveal that Reishi can help repair cells that have faced radiation. For the past several decades in Japan, the Reishi mushroom is often recommended to be ingested alongside the standard radiation treatment. Studies are showing that Reishi allows the radiation to cancer cells but functions as armor for your normal cells.
This is a significant discovery for protecting yourself against EMF radiation and reducing EMF sensitivity. However, even this glorious mushroom has its drawbacks, but none that are too severe. You can eat the mushroom directly but it’s known to not have the most pleasant taste and may cause an upset stomach the first time around. Instead, we would recommend that you this high-quality supplement or brewing the Reishi, mushroom in tea.
2. Vitamin C
If you happen to be an avid member in the skincare community it’s likely that you’ve seen many sing high praises about Vitamin C. Or even if you just like having some oranges on hand to ward off that oncoming cold you’re aware of the multifaceted benefits of Vitamin C. Prepare to add another benefit to your list! Vitamin C may also be able to protect you against EMF radiation coming from your WiFi Router.
Research has found that when male rats are exposed to frequencies up to 2.45 GHz, Vitamin C helps to protect them against EMF-related damage to the liver enzymes and metabolism. If you’re worried that all of your increased time inside may have spiked your exposure to WiFi radiation, having that orange on hand might be helpful. But if you’re not a fan of oranges you can also look towards broccoli, bell peppers, potatoes, strawberries, and many more. Additionally, Vitamin C is often found in a multitude of multivitamins. But if you’d like to be ultra diligent, this stand-alone supplement certainly gets the job done.
3. Glutathione
Although it has a funky name Glutathione occurs naturally in plant and animal cells. It’s a great supplement because it helps the cells to protect themselves against damage from free radicals and heavy metals. Glutathione comes as a water-soluble antioxidant in supplement and even tincture form. This is all supercritical because this combination of properties helps the body gear up to protect against the often very damaging symptoms of EMF sensitivity
4. Turmeric
Turmeric is often considered a holy grail herb because of its extra versatile uses. If you eat a lot of Indian food you’ll find it in most if not all of the dishes. Not only does it help food smell aromatic and enhance the color but it’s known for its ability to decrease inflammatory responses especially resulting after EMF radiation exposure. The reason being that turmeric contains a compound called Curcumin. Not only can you consume turmeric through food and try new cuisines but you can add it to anything. For example, a turmeric latte, into smoothies, salads, and curries. The options are endless, and so are the benefits. Studies show that turmeric lowers blood pressure, fights inflammation, boosts heart health, protects against dementia, Alzheimer’s, and even against cancer.
For this to be effective you need to ingest 500-1,000 mg of curcumin every day which comes out to 2.5 to 5 teaspoons of turmeric. If this seems difficult to incorporate into your current diet, do not fear! You can always just take the supplement.
5. Melatonin
A decent shut-eye requires Melatonin and not just the handy jar of it you see in the corner. The body actually naturally forms Melatonin to help you sleep. But, exposure to blue light rays from your phone or TV and EMF radiation can significantly inhibit the production. This is obviously a significant issue since melatonin is key in regulating sleep cycles. If you are unable to produce enough you may be experiencing issues such as not being able to sleep through the night or unable to sleep at all. Numerous studies have proven that the lack of melatonin may also have severe long-term consequences. Some hypothesize that this impact on melatonin production is one of the reasons that EMF radiation causes cancer.
As always though, here are EMF Know How we have solutions for you. If you find your body needing a little melatonin boost then you can take it either in the powder or pill form. It’s best to start with a small dosage and move up from there. Obviously, you should take it before you go to bed but be aware that depending on the dosage you may feel a little drowsy in the morning and dreams may be more vivid.
6. Spirulina
Like the Reishi Mushroom, Spirulina is also a fantastic superfood. It comes as blue-green algae that are considered very healthy. It’s dense with nutrients since one tablespoon of the powdered supplement contains about 11% of the daily recommended intake of iron and has four grams of protein. It’s known to aid in lowering your LDL which is the bad cholesterol and increase your HDL which is the good cholesterol. Spirulina also helps with allergy symptoms and cancer. Putting aside EMF radiation, the other benefits alone are enough to add Spirulina into your lifestyle. It has anti-inflammatory and antioxidative characteristics which can help reduce the damage caused by EMF radiation. Although it hasn’t been studied specifically for EMF sensitivity, we believe that Spirulina is still worth trying.
You can have it in a class of water or other beverage and drink it plain. Or you can have it with some yogurt or in a smoothie!
7. Selenium
Selenium is a mineral that also has a plethora of benefits (although it can’t turn you into Selena Gomez). It protects the brain and the heart, can help guard against cancer, and even helps thyroid function. The body requires selenium the same way it needs iron, magnesium, and other minerals. Although you can take the supplement, we recommend that you eat it directly in your food. For example, this includes eggs, shiitake mushrooms, chicken breasts, oysters, and brazil nuts. Additionally, you should note that the way your food is prepared is also critical. Microwaves should be avoided since they can get rid of vital nutrients. The body can best process seem in good form so we don’t recommend the supplement unless necessary.
Selenium is great for EMF radiation specifically because of its well-known cancer-fighting characteristics. Research has illustrated that it can be protective against up to 2.4 GHz in frequency and protect the cells from oxidative stress that can lower lifespan.
8. Turkey Tail
Yup, mushrooms are making a comeback! Turkey Tail boosts the immune system, which in theory can protect your body against the harms of EMF radiation. Essentially a fortified and healthy immune system response helps reduce the risk of cancer which is one of the largest side effects of EMF radiation.
While research hasn’t been conducted into the anti radiation properties of Turkey tail, there are many that have studied its cancer-fighting properties. The polysaccharides — which is a carbohydrate — is being studied for its potential ability to inhibit colon cancer growth and shrink tumors. It’s also been recommended to those who are in chemotherapy to help combat the radiation.
But, if you’re not a fan of mushrooms, that’s ok. Turkey’s tail isn’t eaten directly. You can still glean all of the health benefits by ingesting it in supplement or tincture form. Or if you’re feeling particularly adventurous you can even make tea with it.
9. Ginkgo Biloba
Ginkgo Biloba is a tree that is native to China and often known in the US as the Maidenhair tree. Ancient Chinese physicians used it to unblock energy to vital organs and even stimulate blood flow. Currently, people use Ginkgo for breathing issues, to combat depression and anxiety, protect the brain from aging, and even soothe headaches. Additionally, we know it to be rich in its antioxidant properties.
Recently a study has shown that the Ginkgo Biloba may protect the body against EMF radiation. Specifically, from cell phones which is probably one of the most pertinent forms of EMF radiation worldwide. In one study, scientists exposed rats to RF-EMF radiation throughout the day and treated some using the Ginkgo Biloba. The ones that were treated with had noticeably less tissue damage than the ones in the control group.
Luckily Ginkgo is found both as a supplement and as a tincture that can be brewed into tea. However, you cannot eat the tree itself and the seeds are poisonous. So if you plan on adding Ginkgo Biloba into your EMF radiation protection regimen the pill is probably your best choice.
10. Ginseng
Ginseng is actually not a herb but a root that belongs to the Panax family. It has tons of beneficial properties and those practicing Homeopathy use if often. Research has also shown that it has a multitude of benefits which include neuroprotection and anti-cancer characteristics. Some studies have even shown that it might be radioprotective. This means that if you regularly incorporate it into your diet it may help prevent the DNA damage that occurs from prolonged EMF radiation. Patients battling cancer all over the world often take Ginseng to combat the effects of chemotherapy.
Again, it hasn’t been studied specifically for EMF sensitivity but it’s impossible to ignore proof of its radioprotective capabilities. It is certainly possible that taking Ginseng supplements could help you reduce the harmful side effects of EMF radiation. Plus, unline Ginkgo Biloba it isn’t poisonous so you can have it as a supplement, in a tea, or steam it and eat it directly!
