Cactus cannot protect against radiation.
The reason why cactus is widely regarded as a "radiation protection artifact" is related to its growth environment. Sunlight contains very high intensity ultraviolet rays, and cactus can survive in desert areas with strong sunlight, indicating that it has strong resistance to ultraviolet radiation.
Therefore, people take it for granted that cactus can also protect against computer radiation. In fact, this is because people confuse the concepts of optical radiation and electromagnetic radiation. The cactus can resist the former, but the latter is not within its ability.
Radiation is an energy wave that travels in a straight line. Currently, there is no substance that can make its radiation turn. In addition, no study has reported that cacti are better at protecting against radiation than other plants. Therefore, the idea that placing a pot of cactus in front of the computer can reduce the harm of computer radiation to the human body is just an inference and has no scientific basis.

Tips for radiation protection:
1. Always keep moisturizing spray. Long-term computer radiation oxidizes the skin, causing dark yellow skin, dark circles and many other problems. Keep a bottle of moisturizing spray at your desk or next to your computer. Wash your face after work and apply moisturizing products to refresh your skin. .
2. Do a cleansing mask once a week. The static electricity around the computer will attract dust floating in the air. People who have been in contact with the computer for a long time will have their pores more likely to be clogged by dust. Regularly doing deep cleansing masks can help remove impurities from the skin.
3. Use barrier cream. It can effectively prevent dust from contacting the skin, and can also block some radiation.
4. Drink a cup of yogurt every day. Yogurt is rich in vitamin B, which can effectively resist radiation damage and repair problems such as dark and yellow skin caused by computer radiation.
