Dr Touseef Ahmed said that body postures and typing styles are closely related. awkward posture of listening phone causes multiple issue related to spinal and nervous system. Speaking in the programme, psychiatrist Dr Muhammad Javed Sheikh said excessive use of mobile phone is associated with behavioral changes which leads to depression.

It also leads to social isolation and a decreased interest in things like nutrition, exercise and enjoyable activities. The experts said that people could also reduce their risk of brain cancer by carrying their phones in a bag or purse - not in their pockets.

Reduce or avoid using phones when it only has one or two bars of signal. Using wireless headsets could lower the risk of cancer, as they emit much less energy than mobile phone. The experts recommend keeping phones away from the body when they're not in use in a backpack, for example, rather than a pocket and sleeping with phones away from the bed.

People may also choose to use speakerphone or a headset to make calls, rather than holding the phone to their heads.
