The immune system, as a homeostatic system, is an excellent marker of health and has also been proposed as an indicator of the rate of aging. The base of the age-related changes in the immune system, "immunosenescence", is oxidative-inflammatory stress. Studies have shown that long-term exposure to electromagnetic fields (EMFs) produced by technology causes inhibitory effects on the immune response and increases oxidation. The aim of the present study was to investigate the effects of resting on an EMF-insulated system on several immune functions, the oxidative-inflammatory state and subsequently the rate of aging (biological age).
Several immune functions, in peripheral blood neutrophils and mononuclear cells, of 31 volunteers were analyzed before and after 2 months of using a bed with the patented HOGO system, which insulated participants against EMFs. Several oxidative and inflammatory parameters, in whole blood cells, were also studied. The biological age was calculated using a mathematical formula, which was based on several immune function parameters. A placebo group of 11 people using beds without that property were used as a control.
The results showed a significant improvement of immune functions and antioxidant and anti-inflammatory defenses after using the HOGO system for 2 months. In addition, a decrease in oxidants and pro-inflammatory compounds, a lowering of oxidative damage in lipids and in DNA as well as a reduction of calculated biological age was also observed. The placebo group did not show any changes.
In conclusion, 2 months of resting on a bed insulated from EMFs demonstrates improvement in immune function, oxidative-inflammatory state and biological age.
免疫系统作为一个内稳态系统，是健康的极佳标志物，也被提出作为衰老速度的指标。免疫系统与年龄相关变化的基础是“免疫衰老”，即氧化-炎症应激。研究表明，长期暴露于技术产生的电磁场（EMF）会对免疫反应产生抑制作用，并增加氧化。本研究旨在探讨在 EMF 屏蔽系统上休息对几种免疫功能、氧化-炎症状态以及随后的衰老速度（生物年龄）的影响。
在使用具有专利 HOGO 系统的床 2 个月前后，分析了 31 名志愿者的外周血中性粒细胞和单核细胞中的几种免疫功能。还研究了全血细胞中的几种氧化和炎症参数。生物年龄是根据几个免疫功能参数的数学公式计算的。使用不具备该特性的床的 11 名安慰剂组作为对照。
结果表明，使用 HOGO 系统 2 个月后，免疫功能以及抗氧化和抗炎防御显著改善。此外，还观察到氧化剂和促炎化合物减少，脂质和 DNA 氧化损伤降低，计算出的生物年龄降低。安慰剂组没有任何变化。
总之，在 EMF 屏蔽床上休息 2 个月可改善免疫功能、氧化-炎症状态和生物年龄。
