Have you ever had an X-ray taken for you? I had dozens of them, but only because I had a car accident when I got to New Zealand in 2001. I bought a car and two days later I drove it on the right hand side of the road, ending up on the right side of an oncoming vehicle which saw what I was doing and pulled over. But he has recovered and I have recovered since then.

Because of that accident I sustained 14 fractures all over my body. You can imagine how many X-rays I had to go through over the years. When an X-ray technician takes the X-ray he or she always stepping out of the room. They then control the process remotely from another room. Have you ever wondered why this happens? This is simply because while being X-rayed you are being exposed to radiation and the technician wants to protect him/herself from that. Radiation can cause cancer as it penetrates the body thus damaging the cells. We are talking here massive amount of X-ray to cause cancer, but the longer and the more you are exposed to it, the more chances you would get cancer. this is why the technician always getting out of the room.

You are not in risk of getting cancer as a result of that because the risk is low anyway and you are being exposed to the radiation just once or a few times in a lifetime so you are safe.

Continuous Use of Microwave Increase the Risk of Cancer.

The microwave you have got at home works on a similar method. It projects rays that heat the food you have in it. If you use a microwave every day, several times a day and you stand near the device, you are of a relatively high risk to get cancer. I also believe that if you just eat food being heated in a microwave you eat cancerous food. I do not use a microwave at all. That is not to say we do not have microwave at home, so when someone uses it, I step away from it, just like your X-ray technician.

I believe it is all about these little things in life that counts towards our health and wellbeing. I believe it is also very easy and safe to avoid all these risks. A little common sense goes a long way.
