EL PASO, Texas (KFOX14/CBS4) — In today’s digital age, the concept of “phone detoxing” is gaining traction as individuals seek to manage their mental health by taking breaks from social media.
While unplugging can lower stress levels, for some, going completely off the grid may increase anxiety.
“The key isn’t no phone, but less phone,” Dr. Rohan Divecha suggested in this Medical Myth Busters.
Reducing mindless scrolling and setting app limits can enhance focus and mood.
“Think of it like sugar. A little is fine, but a lot of it can really mess with your health,” they said.
Ultimately, it’s about balance. If a detox helps you set limits on your phone use, then it’s beneficial. Setting boundaries can lead to a healthier lifestyle, experts advise.
