Be aware of the Blue
Light
While technological advances have made our
life easier, it has also brought upon us, some unexpected disadvantages. One of
them is the blue light. Historically, the sun has been the only source
of the blue light, but due to the explosion of
personal screens and artificial lights, things seem to have worsened.
Is it that bad?
Yes & no.
- No, as blue light exposure during the day enhances
alertness and cognitive performances.
- Yes, because it can disrupt
circadian rhythm when exposed to it at night leaving you with a sleepless night.
Run the experiments
A recent study has found out how exposure to excessive
blue light can cause cellular damage and accelerate aging, well at least that's
what happened to fruit flies because who'd have known flies and humans have the
same signalling chemicals.
Here's how the experiment went:
- Flies were exposed to a 12 hour
cycle of blue light which resulted in accelerated aging, neurodegeneration and
impairment of mitochondria.
- More flies were exposed to blue
light and darkness periodically, neurodegeneration was again observed along
with disrupted cellular pathways.
Even though flies are adversely affected, it is
not yet known at what exposure of blue light it is considered excessive for
humans.
