Blue light blocking glasses... critical to the health of every cell in your body.
When you work indoors under artificial lighting or work on computers much of the item, you are exposed to a constant abnormal strong peak of blue light. This intense peak of blue in the wavelength spectrum is not in line with the normal healthy wavelength of blue that exists in the light that comes from the sun when you are outside. You have receptor sites in your body to receive energy from the sunlight for healthy purposes. An example of this would be the normal circadian rhythm of the body knowing when its time for bed and time to wake up according to the sun setting at night and rising in the morning.
Just as plants use energy from the sun to produce flowers, fruit and to grow etc.. we gain energy from the sun as well. Two fo the key places on the body are eyes and skin. The direct negative affect of constantly being exposed to intense peaks of blue light (artificial light, TV, or computer screens) is that it makes it harder on your cells to produce energy. Energy is the foundational resource that your cells need to do any activity in the body. This happens in the mitochondria, which is the power house that produces energy (ATP) for every cell in the body that has a nucleus. When the mitochondria in a cell stops producing energy, it dies or becomes senescent. Either way, both of these scenarios equivocate to advanced aging and poor quality of life.
What might this look like for you in your every day walk? Well, I can tell you what my experiences have been and those of whom i have witnessed. Headaches eliminated, eye strain reduced, easier to fall asleep and stay asleep, more energy, stronger immune system, increased metabolism. The list goes on... We all like immediate results but I believe where we could experienced the most benefit is with prevention. Why wait until there is a diagnosis of macular degeneration, glaucoma, or cataracts or any other mitochondrial disease of which there are many.. Layer this habit into a healthy life style.
