How Blue Light Accelerates Aging (And What You Can Do About It)

This may have been the most challenging article written at Spannr. And not for reasons you might think...While doing research and writing about the effects of blue light on aging, it occurred to me that learning about blue light on a blue light emitting device seemed a bit counterintuitive, if not unhealthy. There’s no doubt blue light can accelerate our aging. Anxiety aside, we’re here to share information about all things longevity-related with our Spannr audience, making this article a net positive.Don’t worry – I had my blue light glasses on throughout the making of this article, and you might want to grab yours, too (more on that here).
