With increasing environmental pollutants, pesticides and heavy usage of electronic devices (smart-phones, computers, iPads, tablets etc), the amount of natural photon energy we can absorb has decreased tremendously. Moreover, these modern devices also emit artificial electromagnetic fields (EMFs), which can continuously disturb your sympathetic nervous system. This, in turn, elevates your body’s fight-and-flight response, raising levels of the stress hormone, cortisol. Fluctuations in cortisol lead to a wide range of health concerns ranging from belly fat and thinning skin to accelerated aging, blood sugar imbalance, cardiovascular problems, erratic sleep patterns and mood disturbances (Dr Hyla Cass, 2011).
Unfortunately, such electronic devices are now part of our mundane lifestyle and most interventions have proven to be unsustainable and expensive.
