What is a Digital Detox?

Just as physical detoxing helps remove toxins, poisons and harmful chemicals from your body, digital detoxing removes the negative effects of technology overexposure. The health problems created by a digital overdose which were mentioned above are just the tip of the proverbial iceberg where mental and physical health issues related to technology are concerned. 

A digital detox means dramatically reducing or totally eliminating your exposure to technology, digital devices and consumer electronics for a significant period of time. This can be a few hours each day, one day each week, every weekend or an entire week.

Studies show that unplugging from technology boosts your brainpower, improves feelings of happiness and peacefulness, and creates more free time for yourself. It improves both mental and physical health, and since a recent study shows that 65% of Americans suffer from digital eyestrain, a techno-detox can improve your vision. Another reason for freeing yourself of digital dependence is the positive impact this practice has on how efficient and productive you are.
