What Are Electromagnetic Frequencies and How Do I Protect Myself?

Electromagnetic fields (EMFs) that surround you 24/7 could be interfering with your immune system function, even triggering allergic and inflammatory responses while interfering with your body's repair mechanisms.shutting/Shutterstock

The amount of electromagnetic frequencies (EMF) we are exposed to has skyrocketed in the past couple of decades. With 5G technology now fueling the internet of devices, our near-constant use of smartphones, and ubiquitous hotspots, we must consider the ramifications that these long-term exposures bring.

Unfortunately, experts have told us for years that EMFs aren’t harmful to our health, but a growing body of research indicates that EMFs actually affect the human body in several detrimental ways.

What Exactly Are Electromagnetic Fields?

There are many different types of EMFs. Each type has its own frequency, or the number of waves that pass through a fixed point per second. Frequency is measured in hertz (Hz).
