RED BALANCES BLUE AND UV LIGHT

Dim, indoor lighting makes you brain damaged.

And it definitely shows with the mass delusions I've seen posted on X lately.

The brightness of indoor artificial lighting during the day registers on average around 700 lux at the high end. Outside it registers around 3000 lux in the shade and 100,000+ lux in direct sunlight.

This is a huge difference in brightness.

Your body was built to function best in BRIGHT light during the day. The vast majority of you are violating that law and getting way too much dim indoor light during the day.

As the paper below implies, the dull daytime dim of typical indoor lighting depresses your brain and your mental functions while brighter light gives you superman like brain power.

So please, people of X, I beg you, make your days bright again.

Get outside.

If you must be inside make sure you have a bright enough light with a good spectrum near you.

I suggest a couple below.Image

YOUR PARENT'S CHANCE OF GETTING DEMENTIA IS INCREASING AS FAST AS THE MARRIAGES OF THE COLDPLAY COUPLE ARE ENDING....

SO WHAT CAN YOU DO?

Turn the lights off at night.

As you see below, chronic artificial light at night can be an automatic 30% risk increase for dementia.

If you cant get them to turn the lights off, CHANGE the lights and/or get them to wear blue light blocking glasses.

(See my favorite night lights and glasses at link in bio or linked below)Image

PEOPLE WHO LIVE WITH THE BRIGHTEST LIGHT AT NIGHT DIE 30% FASTER....

You need to be low lux maxxing at night.

"Exposure to brighter light at night, recorded with personal light sensors in >88,000 participants, was associated with higher risk of mortality across a subsequent 6-year period.....Brighter light at night predicted higher risk of all-cause mortality"

Measure the LUX of your artificial light at night with a cheap lux meter found on my Amazon page at the link in my bio.

You want your lux at night as low as possible.

Moonlight is less than ONE lux so keep that in mind.Image

"Lower circadian amplitude and deviated circadian phase predicted higher risk of all-cause and cardiometabolic mortality..."

What does low circadian amplitude mean?

It means the difference between the brightness of your days and darkness of your nights is not large. In order to fix this and increase your circadian amplitude you need super bright days and super dark nights.

ATTENTION: CAN 100,000 WOMEN BE WRONG?

They say light at night can make you fat.

In this study of over one hundred thousand UK women ages 16 and up they found.....

"The findings are consistent with animal studies showing that prolonged light exposure leads to weight gain. Humans’ circadian, circannual, and metabolic regulatory systems evolved to be adaptive in environments that were quite different from those faced in modern industrial society. Technology has allowed exposures to levels and timing of light, nutrient intake, and physical activity never before possible."

So if you "believe all women" and don't want to turn into a fat one, turn off the lights or use appropriate night lights and wear blue blockers. See my favs below.Image

FOR MAXIMUM LIFE EXTENSION MINIMIZE LIGHT EXTENSION....

In the first pic below you see how artificial light extension erases the natural sunset signal and extends melatonin suppression (through increased melanopic illuminance) for hours after sunset.

This is not good for things like heart disease and cancer prevention.

In the second picture you see the approximate melatonin suppression from the dimmest to brightest homes. The takeaway here is that everyone reacts differently to light at night. Some people are very sensitive to it and their melatonin levels get crushed even with dim light and a few people arent so sensitive and can have minimal melatonin suppression in the brightest homes.

In the third pic you see the in house melanopic luminance from energy efficient bulbs (green), LED bulbs (blue) and incandescent bulbs (red). As you can see, the energy efficient bulbs have the highest melanopic illuminance which means they eff up your melatonin the most! But at least you are "saving" the environment :P LED bulbs arent much better and incans are the lowest MLUX violators.

So what did we learn?

Light extension does not help with life extension.

If you are going to do light extension at night, mitigate the brightness and wavelength as much as possible. In general use incandescents or some of my night light recs below. Definitely wear blue light blocking glasses (my top 7 listed below) if you are unaware of the type of photons coming out of your lighting.Image

IF POWER LINES CAN MAKE YOU WANT TO KILL YOURSELF, IMAGINE WHAT CELL TOWERS AND SLEEPING NEXT TO A WIFI ROUTER NIGHTLY CAN DO....

"Results Suicide mortality was increased relative to work in exposed jobs and with indices of exposure to magnetic fields."

Pro tip....

This is why you must get a cheap EMF meter and at the very least measure your bedroom and workspace for invisible electric, magnetic and RF fields. You could be sleeping in a very strong electric field night after night and not even know it. Could be the missing link for your hard to solve health problems.

Find a good intro EMF meter on my amazon page through the link in bio or at the site below.Image

Conclusions These data provide evidence for an association between occupational electromagnetic fields and suicide that warrants further evaluation. A plausible mechanism related to melatonin and depression provides a direction for additional laboratory research and epidemiologic evaluation.
