0:00.0 | All right, so I had another question from someone that wanted to know, am I getting radiation |
0:03.6 | when I'm traveling, when I'm flying from coast to coast? |
0:07.8 | So we're going to talk about that. |
0:09.7 | Well, when you're going from coast to coast in America, you're getting the amount of radiation |
0:14.8 | that would be just less than one chest x-right, okay? |
0:19.0 | So there is some radiation not too much. |
0:22.0 | It's not like a cat scan. |
0:24.4 | When you're doing a transatlantic flight, you're probably getting the radiation that would |
0:28.9 | be equivalent to three dental x-rays, not too bad, okay? |
0:33.0 | So the radiation exposure really depends on three things. |
0:37.6 | How high your flight is, how long your flight is, and the latitude, for example, the further |
0:48.0 | away you fly from the equator, the more the radiation. |
0:52.5 | Because at the equator, you have certain magnetic fields that deflect radiation. |
0:59.4 | Now when you're flying small planes underneath clouds, for example, you're getting less radiation. |
1:05.2 | If you can avoid mid-day flights and fly more at night, you're going to avoid radiation. |
1:10.3 | And lastly, there are certain foods and things that you can do to protect the cells against |
1:14.6 | damage from radiation. |
1:17.6 | So there's a whole long list of those foods. |
1:18.6 | Phytonutrients in general can repair that damage. |
1:20.6 | All right, thanks for watching. |
