Did you know that the average smartphone user checks their phone 150 times a day? In this day and age, most people use different gadgets in organizing their calendar whether it’s for work, communicating with family or friends, and playing or reading ebooks. These days, almost everything is done right from the palm of our hands. In fact, there is an enormous increase in mobile phone usage throughout the world. Surely, it’s great to have new technology advancements which we all enjoy, but it’s not really all fun and games.

Technology has a dark side and one of them is radiation. It is a growing threat which we face today. Mobile phones for instance, emit electromagnetic radiation, which studies have linked to development of brain tumours, brain dysfunction, sleep disorders and other exposure-related conditions. Every time our cell phone’s power is on, it exposes areas of our body to the harmful effects of mobile phone radiation.

High mobile phone radiation levels pose serious health effects and harm people’s well-being. People living in the city are more exposed to high levels of radiation as they are constantly tied down to their work phone and home phone. As an escape from the harmful effects of mobile phone radiation, it’s a good idea to take a break in the country and enjoy the beauty of the rural surroundings.

There is no better way to escape the stresses and strains of modern living than to take a break in the countryside. It’s the perfect refuge to clear your head and relax as colours and landscapes provide the tranquillity and serenity of a perfect escape.

There are simply less distractions in the countryside and it is generally quiet and peaceful so you’re sure to have peace and solitude.  Get closer to nature and breathe clean, fresh air while strolling the streets and meeting friendly people.

The countryside offers so much to see and do – from beautiful sceneries, romantic landscapes and exciting activities in the great outdoors, a holiday to the countryside never fails to fascinate.

So turn off your mobile phones, head on to the countryside and enjoy the joys of simple living!
