\"\"Smartphones have become the most-popular way to enjoy online slots these days. Unfortunately, too much smartphone slots may be contributing to an early death.<\/p>\n

Of course, internet slots themselves aren’t the sole cause of smartphone-related health problems. But they add to a growing epidemic, where people spend far too much time with their phones.<\/p>\n

I’m going to discuss a recent study on the matter here. I’ll also cover how slots factor into the equation.<\/p>\n

People Are Wasting Too Much Time on Their Phones<\/H2><\/p>\n

New research finds that people are spending entirely too many hours on their phones. This wasted time is leading to a decrease in our sleep, attention span, creativity, productivity, memory, relationships, and self-esteem.<\/p>\n

Worse yet, phones are causing our cortisol level to rise<\/a>. Cortisol is the stress hormone that, in abundance, can lead to negative health consequences.<\/p>\n

Previous studies have focused on the dopamine spike that smartphones cause. Dopamine is the “pleasure chemical” that rewards us for various habits and addictions.<\/p>\n

David Greenfield, professor of clinical psychiatry at the University of Connecticut School of Medicine discussed this matter.<\/p>\n

“Your cortisol levels are elevated when your phone is in sight or nearby, or when you hear it or even think you hear it,” said Greenfield. <\/p>\n

“It\u2019s a stress response, and it feels unpleasant, and the body\u2019s natural response is to want to check the phone to make the stress go away.”<\/p>\n

How Does Too Much Smartphone Slots Weigh Into the Matter?<\/H2><\/p>\n

Smartphone slots alone aren’t causing your cortisol to increase. But they’re one of many activities that can cause you to spend more time on smartphones.<\/p>\n

I’m obviously not saying that you have to quit playing smartphone slots. But you might consider playing them less and doing other phone-related activities less as well.<\/p>\n

The overall goal is to stop spending so much time on your phones. Doing so will allow you to live a longer and healthier life.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
