Russian doctor, Olga Zaitseva, stated that the use of smart phones and mobile devices has negative effects on children’s immunity.
During a medical program on Russia TV, the doctor said: “The frequency of colds accompanied by sore throat and runny nose in children depends on their immunity, and parents can contribute to strengthening their children’s immunity by preventing them from sitting behind phone screens and mobile devices for long hours.”
She added: "There are many things that affect a child's immunity. I mentioned smart phones and devices because they are 'time killers'. When a child spends hours behind the screens of these devices, he will not walk or practice physical activities much, and this will negatively affect his health and immunity in general." “It has been proven that long and continuous use of these devices reduces the child’s immunity.”
The doctor pointed out that the use of mobile devices has a bad effect on the health of adults in general as well, but the health of children is particularly affected because they are in the process of development, and for their immunity to be normal, they need to move and walk in the open air, and not sit for long periods and surf the Internet.
Rightly said.
