BLOG #1: TECHNOLOGY VS HEALTH

   First, this is the first time ever I've written a blog. The main purpose of these blogs is to share all knowledge and experiences about health and nutrition and I'll try to bring new topics about health and nutrition as much as I can. To start, let's discover about the relationship between technology and health. Personally, technology is something which people can live without it since it's 100% helpful for their life. People can not live without cell phone, laptop, TV because they are tools for people to communicate with the world. Maybe people will wonder how can technology and health be related to each other? When people are strongly dependent on technology, they can spend all of their time using their laptop and cell phone and these people don't want to leave their beloved ones just for a moment. There are several cons of using technological devices too much that I want to mention in this blog, some of them you may read before but some of them you don't know about it, so I hope that you can find it useful after reading my blog. 

          Sometimes you feel like loving your cell phone so much that you just want to spend all your time being together with it. You want it, but your health doesn't want it. If you seat in front of your computer for hours day by day, it's a good chance for your body to gain weight. Once you don't do physical activities, don't move and keep consuming energy, there will be one day that you even can hardly move. And I'm sure that all of you know what will come if you're obese, it can be heart risk, high blood pressure and tons of dangerous disease that can lower your lifespan.

          Also, you love your phone so much that you can't live it for charging it so you use your phone and charge it at the same time. In fact, it can injure and make you get burn

          There are tons of news articles on the internet warning people not to use cell phone or electric devices when charging it. It's continuing happening around the world and I just wonder that in 21st century, people can easily get access to the internet but they still can't learn a lesson from previous issue? The attraction of cell phone is possibly greater than their safety?The reason is because" batteries work in limited operating temperature range and while charging, the processor in the phone takes power from charger and battery will be charging during this time. When you talk on phone while charging, the processor generated heat and battery generated heat both increase the battery temperature to raise rapidly" (Retrieved from https://www.quora.com/Is-it-dangerous-to-use-a-smartphone-while-charging-or-is-this-just-a-rumor). And it leads to a possible outcome, which is explosion. If you're lucky, you get burn. If you're unlucky, you may die. I think that this isn't new knowledge, many people know it but they completely don't care about it. 

          However, besides from some danger that technology brings to health, there are many more health benefits that people can get from technology. In these days and ages, technological equipment are developing to make people's life better, included healthcare. More and more devices are invented to make it easier for people to check their health. For example, needle-free diabetes care is a device allowing people to measure their blood glucose, and then they are able to make their diet suitable for a good treatment.
