The loop of these signals can harm our health in numerous ways. As per studies it was found that routers can endanger our health as well as affect the growth of children and plants. Wi-Fi has been found to affect our health and this article deals with the health risks of Wi-Fi. So, if you have been wondering how to protect yourself from Wi-Fi waves, read this article.

Further, we have also listed a few pointers that you can consider to limit the harmful influence of Wi-Fi and reduce their side effects. Just like wireless signals, electromagnetic radiation can pass through walls. Routers are not turned off at night; hence, you're exposed to the radiation 24/7.

1. Lack of concentration

1. Lack of concentration

Increased Wi-Fi radiation can lead to reduced brain activity and affect the power of concentration and memory in the long run.

2. Affects cell growth:

2. Affects cell growth:

Plants and humans are both affected by this. As per research studies, it was found that plants near the radiation area never grew and this is what happens with the cells in the human body as well. This is one of the top Wi-Fi health risks.

3. Fatigue:

3. Fatigue:

Chronic fatigue is one of the ill effects of radiations. Frequent feelings of tiredness and lack of energy to do our daily chores is quite common in this case. This is one of the ways in which Wi-Fi can affect our health.
