Can cactus really absorb radiation when placed in front of a computer?

I don't know when the cactus has put on the "radiation protection" hat. Some people who often use computers will put a cactus next to the computer, but can cactus really prevent radiation?

First of all, we need to understand that electromagnetic radiation is not equal to optical radiation.

Electromagnetic radiation is a kind of radiation, an invisible and intangible magnetic field. It is a phenomenon that part of the electromagnetic energy generated by the field source travels far away from the field source and then returns to the field source. Energy travels outward in the form of electromagnetic waves and travels in a straight line at the curved speed of light. The earth itself is a huge magnetic field. Both thermal radiation and lightning will produce electromagnetic radiation, and planets such as the sun will also produce electromagnetic radiation from outer space. The electromagnetic radiation around us mainly comes from electronic products and household appliances that we often use in our lives.

Cactus live in a sunny desert, and sunlight can produce a kind of "radiant energy". As a radiation-proof plant, cactus absorbs ultraviolet rays from sunlight, and its absorption capacity is higher than other plants, but it does not absorb electromagnetic radiation. Not only cactus, but also other plants that can absorb radiation and protect human body from radiation have not been found.

Cactus can't protect against radiation. What's the use of putting it in front of a computer desk?

First of all, cactus, as a green plant, can purify the air and beautify the environment. Through photosynthesis, the indoor oxygen content is increased and the air quality is improved.

2. Cactus and cacti with different shapes have special shapes and beautiful appearance. Staring at the computer for a long time is easy to cause visual fatigue. Turning your eyes to plants can relieve eye fatigue and relax people.

Using electronic products such as mobile phones and computers for a long time will not only cause problems to our skin, but also seriously damage our eyesight. So how to prevent radiation?

First of all, the most fundamental way is to stay away from radiation sources and reduce the time of exposure to electromagnetic radiation. In other words, in the process of work, we take a few minutes away from the computer every 2-3 hours to give our eyes a short rest.

Secondly, do a good job in facial care and maintenance. Put skin care products in front of your desk and computer, such as moisturizing spray, cleansing mask, cream, etc. After work, washing your face and applying moisturizing products can make you and your skin look brand new.

In addition, in terms of diet, drink more yogurt and eat more fruits. Both contain vitamin B, which can effectively resist radiation damage and repair problems such as dark skin caused by computer radiation.
