Foods to Help Protect Against Radiation

 Now radiation is a huge topic. Also known as EMF’s or electromagnetic frequencies we have to be very careful because there’s no way of getting around this toxin. With our constant use of computers, cell phones, iPads, Bluetooth headphones, Bluetooth everything we are bombarded with EMFs. At Healing Arts our goal is to minimize the effect of radiation on the body by healthy lifestyle choices and support the body with the right nutrition to help detox it.  The first step is to get an EMF blocker for your cell phone. Unfortunately there are a lot of EMF blockers out there on the market that do not work so do your research and find one that works. We like to use EMF Harmony. They have ones for the cellphones but other products as well. 

Lifestyle changes include not having your cellphone in your pocket. Carry it in a bag instead and do not charge it by your bed. At least have it across the room on airplane mode and better yet would be to have it charging in a different room but I know a lot of us use it as an alarm. Try not to have laptops or iPad directly on you when using them but on a table or at least on a pillow. Now the bluetooth headphones people have are an EMF disaster, having that sit right there in your ear, so close to your brain drives me crazy.  For those of you who have them I”m sure you love them and they do look nice but it’s better to go without especially if you are suffering from high blood pressure, headaches, neck pain or other joint inflammation.  Go back to the headphones with a wire and actually I like those headphones better than holding the phone to your ear too.  So when you are using your phone and you can use your headphones with a wire or put the phone on speaker and off your body  that is the safest way to use your phone. 

At Healing Arts we are all about using food to heal.  Food that you want to add to your diet specifically to help detox radiation includes chlorella, spirulina, broccoli, Brussel sprouts and seaweed.

Spirulina is nutrient-dense, with just one tablespoon of this powdered supplement containing 11% of the recommended daily intake of iron and four grams of protein. After the Chernobyl incident in 1986, the Institute of Radiation Medicine in Minsk proved that children experienced enhanced immune systems, T-cell counts and reduced radioactivity with 5 grams of spirulina a day for 45 days. Spirulina can be found in most health food stores as a green powder that can be added to smoothies. I personally add a raw paste one from https://www.rawlivingspirulina.com/ that is organically harvested from Florida.  

Chlorella is another type of algae and has the highest chlorophyll content. Studies show it helps protect against gamma radiation. So eat your green veggies to have more chlorophyll in your diet.  Chlorella and liquid chlorophyll can also be found in most health food stores.

Brassica vegetables and high beta-carotene vegetables – Researchers have found that all the brassica family plants protect your cells from the damaging effects of radiation. Beta-carotene has also been researched and found to protect your cells against radiation. Brassica vegetables include broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cabbage, cauliflower, turnips, broccoli rabe, collards, kale, kohlrabi, mustard, and bok choy. Beta-carotene can be found in concentrated amounts in foods such as sweet potatoes, carrots, kale, spinach, turnip greens, winter squash, collard greens, cilantro, fresh thyme, cantaloupe, romaine lettuce and broccoli.

Beans and lentils have high nucleotide concentrations. Nucleotides are the building blocks that make up RNA and DNA. Nucleotides also carry out several critical functions needed for cell replication, as well as neutralizing toxins, increasing cellular metabolism, improving the response and efficiency of the immune system, enhancing the effects of antioxidants and increasing the body’s ability to heal and repair. Other foods high in nucleotides include spirulina, chlorella, algae, liver, anchovies and mackerel.

Fatty acids, such as cod liver oil and olive oil can protect against radiation. Studies have been done to show olive oil helps protect the liver against radiation given during cancer treatments.  

Make healthier choices when it comes to using electronics and eat your veggies to protect yourself from EMF toxicity.

Radiation: Damaging Effects From Your Cell Phone and Other Technology By Addison Landry

Technology is with us everywhere we turn and the amount and complexity of what we encounter is growing at a startling rate. With so much attachment, ease and connection to our devices what we have failed to notice is the effects it has on our body.

I am going back to basics of the body’s physics to relearn the important premises that determines how our body reacts to our surroundings and its capacity for healing. The first premise is that the human body has an Innate Intelligence that is constantly adapting to its immediate environment, for better or for worse. The body is attracted to a wholesome, nurturing environment and is repelled by a negative or toxic environment. The second important premise is that each body has a field of energy that surrounds it and can “read” the environment for the purpose of maintaining it’s balance. Understanding that the body has an energy field that is constantly emitting and changing can now allow us to understand how the energy emissions (radiation) can affect our health and balance.

All technology we use emits some sort of electromagnetic radiation. There are electric fields that develop through the amount of voltage it uses and then there are magnetic fields that develop from the flow of electric current. These radiation fields are large so they can connect with wireless devices that we use, wireless devices need to be connected to a source to function and through these radiation fields it occurs. Our text messages don’t come from thin air. The higher the electric field or the greater the magnetic field, the stronger the electromagnetic radiation.

Currently almost everything is going cordless which means extra radiation to transmit information. The frequency used is getting higher. Mobiles phones, smart watches, computers, ipad’s, televisions, navigation systems, microwaves, smart meters, wireless network connections (Wi-Fi routers) honestly any electric device you use is producing a varying magnetic field which interferes with your body's frequency and energy field.

These signals interfere with our nervous system, confusing or distorting the messages to and from the brain. Radiation is damaging to the body and can cause symptoms that include: headaches, rashes, fatigue, mood swing, irritability and sleep disturbances. On a cellular level, exposed over long periods of time they also can cause “blow out “in your cells resulting in “holes” in the membranes causing inflammation. The higher the frequency, the greater the energy transmitted, the greater the damage.

The good news is there are ways in which we can protect our bodies from these harmful emissions to keep our body in balance and healthy.

• Use headphones when possible to keep the cell phone away from your head.
• Use speaker phone instead of Bluetooth to reduce radiation emissions.
• Earthing- connect with nature, walking bare foot in a park or on the beach, it reduces the ambient voltage from everyday electricity power sources.
• Unplug Wi-Fi when not in use.
• Purchase a Himalayan salt lamp.
• Unplug appliances when not in use.
• Radiation protection: EMF cell phone protection chip can be placed on your cell phone, Wi-Fi, router and computer to protect you from the emissions.
• Purple plates are used to protect the body from the negative radiation field.


The fact is electromagnetic radiation is all around us every day but we have never really seen how it can affect us long term. That is the perfect reason to protect ourselves and take extra precautions, because our health is too priceless not too.
