Is there a relationship between smartphone use and hypertension?


Have you noticed that your own or a family member's behavior has changed in the last few days ? Have you noticed that their temperament has become irritable or awkward in conversation ? It may be that excessive use of smartphones is responsible for it! Various experts around the world are conducting studies to check the possible relationship between smartphone use and hypertension.

In this regard , according to a new study published in the European Heart Journal, if the total time spent talking on the phone exceeds 30 minutes per week, it greatly increases the likelihood of high blood pressure. Pay attention that here the talk is only about the conversation on the smartphone! It is different whether the phone is constantly playing games , watching videos or browsing.

However, many experts also say that more research is needed in this direction before coming to a definite conclusion. But ' ati sarvatra varjayet ' means that if there is an excess of anything, its negative effects are certain. The study looked at over two lakh people who had no history of hypertension and their use of smartphones.

Are there other apps connected to your Facebook-Google account?

Image
In most of the sites/apps we can open our account by either giving a new username or our e-mail address , setting a new password for that service.

Online shopping sites will double down on giving us 'hefty discounts' and we will all be addicted to e-shopping. Whether we go to shop in a physical store or an e-shop, it is understandable that salesmen try all the smart marketing tricks to extract money from our pockets, but on online shopping sites such tricks become dark. When you go shopping online, you may browse the site with certain items in mind and a small budget for them, but most of the time, you end up buying things you don't need and end up spending more than you budgeted for!

In reality, this is not human nature, especially when it comes to online shopping. E-shops try many tricks due to which we fall into their clutches. If you...
