Hello... Anyone ditching LED's for incandescents? 

In this week's newsletter:💡 Light for Longevity🚶 Go Walk

Light for Life 

"Those who were exposed to high levels of light at night had a 21–34% increased risk of death, whilst those exposed to high levels of daylight had a 17–34% reduction in their risk of death."The recent studies coming out about light exposure are alarming, to say the least.But it all makes sense, if you think about it...Our bodies are extremely reactive to not only how much light we are exposed to, but also what type of light. This all has to do with our circadian rhythm (what our brains are programmed for) and how our cells absorb light waves. We've talked about light therapy in the past, which is called chromotherapy. Light exposure may be one of the easiest (and cheapest?) ways to influence your healthspan and lifespan. Personally, I've tried to ditch the bright white LED's in my house, change my phone and computer screen colors to more orange, and limiting my late night light...What are you doing?
