Excessive Use Of Your Phone, Makes You Age Faster- Report

Our gadgets have become a major part of our lives but one fact a lot of people do not know is that excessive use of these gadgets have negative effects on our health. These electronic gadgets, including smartphones and tablets, do cause “tech neck” when used way too much.

“Tech neck” is a condition caused by overuse of gadgets. If you spend too much time with your head bent down, staring at your phone, you have probably developed some sort of neck and / or back pain. This leads to sagging skin, dropping jowls, under-eye bags, wrinkles above the clavicle and horizontal lines on the neck.

According to Gadgets 360, Vinod Vij, Cosmetic Surgeon, at Mumbai-based Fortis Hospital said :

“

People who bend down constantly for long hours while using any handheld electronic device, like smartphones, tablet or computers, are more likely to get wrinkles. The bending position while texting on mobile phones can cause neck, back and shoulder pain, apart from headache, numbness, tingling in the upper limb and pain in hands, arm, elbows and wrists.

Mohan Thomas, a Senior Cosmetic Surgeon at Cosmetic Surgery Institute, also said:

‘

As people do not realise the negativity they are causing to their neck bone and the skin, tech obsessed people should take necessary steps to avoid the overuse of the electronic gadgets.

He continued:
‘

Apart from shortening of the neck muscle it also increases the gravitational pull on the skin. Ultimately, this results in sagging skin, double chin, marionette lines (vertical lines from lips to chin) and loose jowls (drooping jawline). All these signs have been collectively labelled medically as “smartphone face.”

Before now, experts have warned about these dangers, the effects they have on our general health and precautions to take. Obsession with our gadgets may be doing us more harm that we think.
