Nowadays people have become addicted to mobile. However, keeping mobile internet off for some time increases focus and the brain also starts becoming younger. This has come to light in research done in Canada and America.

Nowadays it has become difficult to live without a mobile phone. For some people, mobile has become a support and they remain glued to the phone even while standing in queue while travelling, while eating and while walking etc. However, if a setting is turned off in the phone for a few days, then the mood can improve and the brain of a person can become 10 years younger. This has come to light in a study.

Benefits of keeping internet off on mobile mentioned in the study

Some universities of America and Canada had done research on 467 iPhone users for a month. They asked the people participating in the research not to use the internet instead of completely stopping the use of the phone. An app was downloaded in their phone, which blocks the mobile internet on the phone.

Effects started showing in just two weeks

In a month of research, the effect of keeping mobile internet off started showing on people after just two weeks. People involved in the research said that they are happier than before, are feeling more satisfied with their lives and they feel mentally healthy. These improvements were equal to Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). People involved in the research said that their focus has improved and in the attention test, they performed as well as people with 10 years younger brains.

These were the other benefits

The attention of the people involved in the research improved and they were able to focus more than before. Apart from this, by leaving the phone, they spent more time with people and paid more attention to exercise. These people have slept 17 minutes more on an average every night.

Reduce internet use like this

In today's era, phone has become a necessity. In such a situation, it is very difficult to stop using it completely. The researcher says that in such a situation, it is very important to keep balance. Explaining the methods for this, he has advised to take steps like setting a daily time for internet use, blocking apps that cause more distraction, not using internet on weekends etc. and turning off notifications.
