Respected neuroscientist Professor Andrew Scholey tells me screen addiction stems from a survival instinct ingrained in humans over the course of centuries .

Humans have evolved in such a way that negative information is more salient than positive.

It will take time for our brains to heal from brain rot, but it can be done.

Professor Scholey recommends a series of products he helped develop with drinks and supplements brand repa. repa's products feature the Neuroberry .

ScreenCoach app gives children the ability to earn additional screen time by completing choses, homework or playing outdoors.

It fosters a sense of responsibility and encourages varied activity.

Parents Oren and his family have noticed a massive change in their daughter's behaviour since using the app.

'There'd be a lot of arguments because we didn't like that she was on the iPad so much,' Oren says.
