توجه : این مطلب کمی طولانی میباشد ولی خواندن آنرا به همه اکیدا توصیه میکنم
در عصر حاضر و با رشد تکنولوژی و ساخت ابزار و وسایل الکترونیک مانند انواع رایانه ها ، گوشی های تلفن همراه هوشمند ، تبلت ها ، بازیهای کامپیوتری و سایر اسمارت فون ها همه افراد به نوعی بخش زیادی از وقت خود را صرف استفاده از این وسایل میکنند . In this article, we want to talk in detail about the use of mobile phones, tablets, computer games and smartphones in general and their relationship with eye health and general body health. All people somehow have to use these devices in order to keep up with technology and to make it easier to do daily tasks, and naturally, every technology has its disadvantages as well as its many benefits. Therefore, it is necessary for each person, according to the demand and necessity of doing his work, to use these management tools to minimize the complications and harms of these tools on his body's health system and prevent health damage as much as possible. Excessive use of electronic devices with the title that it is necessary and obligatory is completely wrong, and just as we have to follow many rules in using vehicles to reach our destination safely and on time, here too we have to be extremely careful to preserve the health of our body, which is the greatest gift of God and is placed in our hands as a trust, because just like driving, arriving late is better than never arriving.
Direct effects of mobile phones and similar devices on the eye and vision system
Inappropriate and excessive use of mobile phones and similar devices will directly affect the eyes and vision system. These side effects are divided into short term side effects and long term side effects. Short-term side effects include: eye fatigue, burning and redness of the eyes, and finally lack of concentration and headache. Short-term side effects are annoying side effects that cause discomfort to a person, although these side effects are a prelude to long-term side effects, but they can be improved by observing some points. Long-term complications, which are more frightening complications, include the weakening of the eyes and the development of high-grade eye weaknesses, the development of corneal disorders such as keratoconus and corneal opacities due to the reduction of tears and prolonged dryness of the eyes, cataracts, and retinal problems such as the loss of the yellow spot of the eye, which each of these complications may cause a sharp decrease in vision or sometimes blindness. The most important factor that causes both short-term and long-term complications. There is an invisible blue light spectrum with a short wavelength in these devices, which is visible when using these devices, especially in low light and darkness, and is absorbed by eye tissues and causes damage to different parts of the eye. Long-term absorption of blue light in the cornea due to the loss of the tear layer and dryness of the eye, and due to frequent rubbing of the eye due to irritation and redness, may cause a change in the curvature of the cornea and weakness of the eye. And if the changes in the curvature of the cornea are severe, it causes keratoconus, and this keratoconus itself sometimes in severe degrees may cause a person to use glasses, hard contact lenses and sometimes surgery due to vision loss, and in some cases, despite the prescription and use of glasses, contact lenses and surgery, the vision may be irreparably reduced. The main reason that almost all welders suffer from cataracts is the presence of blue and ultraviolet light in welding, which is present in mobile phones and similar devices on a smaller scale. Fortunately, cataracts can be easily removed by performing a small and convenient surgery and a person's vision can be completely restored provided that the retina is not damaged. But the worst possible way is for the blue light in these devices to pass through the cornea and the lens of the eye and reach the retina and be absorbed by the retina and destroy the retina. When blue light reaches the retina, it is absorbed by the retinal cells and causes retinal cell toxicity and destruction and death of retinal cells. Unfortunately, when people use mobile phones and because people focus on mobile screens and similar devices, the most light absorption by the cone cells of the retina occurs in the area of the macula, and the most damage occurs in this area, and because the macula of the retina is responsible for ninety percent of color vision and the quality of vision, damage to this area unfortunately causes the loss of central vision and possibly blindness, for which there is currently no specific treatment.
Effects of mobile phones and similar devices on the general health of the body. First part
Generally, the human body is made up of billions of cells, and all the actions of the body are done through coordination between these cells. Coordination in the human body is done in two ways. The first method, which is accurate, fast and short-term, is related to the functioning of the nervous system, where messages are issued to a small number of cells. The effect of these messages is quick but short-term. Like the quick reaction when the hand burns and moving the hand away from the source of heat and burn, which is done and finished very quickly. But in the second method, messages are sent to a large number of cells. These messages have longer-term effects, which are related to transmission through hormones. Hormones are chemical mediators that are secreted in small amounts by delivering a message from a number of cells to a larger group of cells to create harmony in the body. Hormones are produced and secreted by glands (pituitary, hypothalamus, thyroid, thymus) and organs (liver, kidneys, pancreas) and by entering the blood stream, they reach all parts of the body and by affecting a group of cells, they control the activities of the body. The activities that are under the control of hormones include: regulation of growth and reproduction processes - regulation and maintenance of the body's stability and keeping the body's water and electrolyte levels stable to prevent diseases and increase the body's defense against pathogens - regulation and preparation of the body to react to stimuli such as dealing with dangers and avoiding danger - regulation of general mental and psychological states of the body such as happiness and unhappiness, fear, anxiety and stress, romantic relationships and feelings of joy and vitality - regulation of sleep quality and alertness and increasing activities memory

Hormones that are affected by inappropriate and excessive use of mobile phones and similar devices:
Melatonin hormone: This hormone is responsible for regulating the body clock and regulating sleep. . Factors that decrease the production of melatonin hormone include: insomnia, smoking and alcohol use, excessive use of phones in the dark and low light, sleeping late at night and sleeping during the dawn and sunrise, or sleeping for hours during the day. Factors that increase melatonin include: regularity in doing daily tasks, eating dinner early at night and sleeping an hour after dinner, waking up at dawn and not sleeping at sunrise. Sun, exercising, consuming vegetables and protein materials, proper ventilation and using clean air, especially mountain air.
Dopamine hormone: Dopamine is a hormone in the body that is responsible for establishing alertness, creating positive energy in the body and maintaining balance in the body's voluntary actions.
Factors that increase the release of dopamine are encouragement, rewards, discipline and regularity, listening to quiet music, Consuming carbohydrates with high fiber, such as sweet fruits such as apples, bananas, pears, etc.
Factors that reduce dopamine in the body, such as drinking too much coffee and carbonated and energy drinks, irregularity, insomnia, excessive fatigue and anxiety and stress.
Dopamine deficiency in the body causes mood disorders, lack of concentration, insomnia, laziness, dullness, and the loss of the sense of balance of the body's voluntary actions. Serotonin hormone: Serotonin is an anti-depressant hormone.
Factors that increase serotonin include exercise, orderliness and cleanliness, sunlight, drinks infused with lemon juice and consumption of antioxidants.
Factors that decrease serotonin production such as inactivity, disorder and poor sleep, use of fast foods and canned foods containing preservatives, use of inappropriate interior design of places with dark colors and lack of sufficient light in buildings and homes.
Oxytocin hormone: Oxytocin is the hormone of love, vitality and breastfeeding in women. This hormone creates mental stability and increases the level of people's satisfaction with life. Factors that increase oxytocin include walking in nature, socializing with family and friends, factors that decrease oxytocin such as inactivity, lack of socializing, being cis, not using life's facilities properly, and the harmful and destructive feeling of jealousy. Estrogen: Estrogen is a hormone that protects against anxiety and stress.
Factors that decrease estrogen such as: menopause in women, smoking, intense exercise, frequent daily stress.
Decreasing estrogen in the body causes mood disorders.
Progesterone-reducing factors such as women's menopause, unhealthy diets, consumption of colored fats, carbonated drinks and stress
Endorphin hormone: Endorphin is a pain-relieving, relaxing and natural pain-relieving hormone of the body.
Endorphin-increasing factors such as light exercise and walking, sweating while working, eating foods Laughter and cheerfulness
Cortisol hormone: Cortisol hormone is released in the body when the body is faced with sudden and emergency actions such as fear and running away from danger, and it causes a rapid increase in energy to confront the body against dangers, increase memory activities, increase the body's defense power and help maintain the body's natural balance. If the body frequently has sudden and emergency actions and the secretion of cortisol hormone in the body increases in an abnormal way, it will leave many negative effects on the body's system and organs, such as reducing the quality of sleep, feeling extremely tired after even a long and deep sleep, weight gain and obesity, weakening of the immune system, stress and anxiety, and a constant feeling of sadness and digestive problems, especially in the stomach. Factors that reduce the secretion of cortisol hormone and reduce the negative effects of this hormone in the body include: Setting the bedtime and having enough and quality sleep, especially sleeping early at night until dawn, listening to soothing music, doing yoga and activities to increase concentration, hanging out with happy and positive people, using light massages, dealing with spiritual matters, drinking soothing teas such as chamomile and lemon balm and using mild perfumes and clubs, wearing cheerful and clean clothes, neatness and cleanliness.

God Almighty has created the universe for the use of living beings, especially humans, in the best and most beautiful way possible. All the physical beauties of the creation world are based on colors. When we look at the world around us, we are faced with two types of colors. The first type is warm colors: warm colors are bright colors such as yellow, orange, sky blue, bright red, turquoise blue, light purple, or actually the colors of the rainbow. The second type is cold colors: cold colors are dark colors such as black, dark purple, and dark brown. We look at bright colors or we use bright colors in our clothes and in our buildings and clothes, a kind of peace and vitality arises in us and it increases vitality and we perform our physical and mental activities better and more accurately. In fact, bright colors are the colors responsible for creating activity and excitement, vitality and vitality for us. The reason for this is that when we look at bright colors, the level of dopamine, endorphin, serotonin, and oxytocin hormones in our body increases, and as I explained in the previous part, the increase of these hormones in the body causes cheerfulness and relaxation, increases the quality of sleep, acquires positive and positive energy, adjusts the body's biological clock, discipline, improves the functioning of the body's organs, strengthens the body's immune and defense system, and increases the level of life satisfaction.
When we look at cold colors, the level of the hormone melatonin increases, and because this hormone is responsible for regulating sleep and regulating the body clock, when the level of this hormone in the body is increased, the muscles relax and the brain is in a state of rest and the level of activity is reduced, and gradually the state of sleep prevails in the body and causes us to fall asleep.
The beautiful thing about creation and the universe is that God has set the hours of the day and night in such a way that during the day and in full sunlight, warm colors can be seen in our surroundings. come and this causes the vibrancy and activity of creatures, especially humans, and at night time, because most of us are faced with cold colors, it causes us to reduce our activities and the body moves towards relaxation and sleep by increasing the level of secretion of related hormones such as melatonin.
Effects of mobile phones and similar devices on the health of the body part 4
As I explained, when the night comes, the environment around us falls into darkness and the gravitational force of the earth also changes due to the rotation of the earth. At this time, our body increases the secretion of the hormone melatonin, on the one hand, under the influence of the change of the earth's gravity and on the other hand, due to exposure to cold and dark colors caused by the darkness of the environment and the blackness of the sky. And at the same time it reduces the activity of the brain. In this state, the muscles are gradually relaxed and the body slowly goes to sleep. In this state, if we surrender to the forces of nature and adjust our activities in such a way that we go to sleep early at night and the body stays asleep throughout the night and until dawn, which is the best time to sleep, the quality of our sleep will increase, and the increase in sleep quality will increase the quality of the body's metabolism, increase the body's defense power and increase the body's energy level, the body will stay away from fatigue and reduce the level of stress. and the health of the body is guaranteed. But unfortunately, in this day and age, when the sun sets and the night begins, with the help of technology and the use of artificial lighting, we artificially light up our surroundings like daylight, and by using devices such as televisions, computers, mobile phones, tablets, computer games, etc., we expose the visual system and the body to warm colors. and other hormones.
In this state, on the one hand, in the face of nightfall and the change in the gravitational force of the earth, our body automatically increases the level of melatonin secretion to prepare the body for sleep, and on the other hand, by using artificial light, we keep the body's electricity in an active state and in order to provide the energy level for activity and staying awake, we have forced the body to secrete hormones that stimulate alertness and activity. .
In this case, the body is under stress due to the hormonal disturbance and due to the fatigue caused by work and daily activities that should be in a state of rest, but it is still awake and active, and to deal with this situation and provide the necessary energy to keep the body awake and active, it increases the secretion of the hormone cortisol. Cortisol hormone is also a hormone that the body needs in an emergency and in a balanced and small amount to protect the body in the face of sudden actions such as fear and escape, but if we make this increase in the secretion of cortisol hormone every night and by staying up until the end of the night and using mobile phones and similar devices as a habit, the body will suffer from the negative effects of hormonal disturbance and frequent increase of cortisol hormone, the immune system will decrease, the energy level and body organs will decrease, and the quality of sleep will decrease. And we have disrupted the body's biological clock, causing changes in mood and aggressiveness, and the emergence of severe anxiety, anorexia, and general weakness. Here the law of nature dictates to us, just as a weak country is unable to fight against the threats of its enemies and is forced to surrender, the body also succumbs to the invasion of all kinds of diseases and it will reduce the quality of life and encounter diseases and reduce our natural life expectancy. One of the major and important reasons that in ancient times, despite the fact that people were deprived of the level of health and food security and access to modern medical facilities, they had healthier and more resistant bodies and longer life spans. Due to the darkness of the environment and the fact that they stopped their physical activities and went to bed early and woke up at dawn with full energy, this proves that it is important and key to wake up early in order to be a good person.
Conclusion: contrary to the general belief that people think that excessive use of mobile phones and similar devices, especially at night and in low light and staying up late, only causes vision problems, this is a very wrong belief and we must know that excessive use of these devices and spoiling night sleep, which is a very important principle for the health of our body and soul, and replacing it with daily sleep until around noon or the next evening will cause very destructive effects on our body and disrupt our whole life system. Therefore, it is better to submit to the force of nature, which is much stronger than us, and follow the instructions of God, who says, We created the day for you to walk and work in nature, and we made the night a source of peace for you.
Ways to prevent the negative effects of mobile phones and similar devices on the visual system and general health of the body.
Today's world is a world of tremendous technological advancements, and we are all inevitably involved in the use of these advancements. But we can minimize their side effects and negative effects by using the relevant facilities and technologies. To use mobile phones and similar devices, it is better to follow these points. The first step is to perform an examination of your vision system, preferably by visiting an optometrist or an eye surgeon, so that if there are any problems such as eye weakness and other problems, we can fix them. Or use block and block control filters.
After every one hour of using these devices, rest your eyes for at least ten minutes.
During the time of using these devices, blink more so that our eyes do not get dry, and maybe those who have dry eyes should use artificial tear drops to maintain the quality of tears. Maintaining the health of the body and improving the quality of sleep and regulating the body's biological clock and creating a hormonal balance in the body. Regulate your sleep regularly and go to bed every night regularly and regularly in the early hours of the night and wake up early in the morning before sunrise and do not sleep again. Have regular and light daily activities, especially walking in the morning.
Avoid anxiety and stress.
Sociate with friends and family and go for walks in nature.
Keep negative thoughts away and think positively.
By doing spiritual things and having a romantic relationship with Almighty God, increase positive energy.
