The field of chronobiology – the study of biological rhythms – has greatly expanded the understanding of the roles of rhythm and timing in the health and functioning of body and mind. Our complex bodily systems developed over time, evolving under the pattern of the skies: the cycle of day and night. Throughout the majority of […]
Do Blue Light Glasses Work? Separating Fact From Fiction
As blue light exposure has increased with the rise in use of LED lighting and electronic devices such as mobile phones, tablets and computers, so too have concerns about the potential health impacts of this specific type of light. Studies indicate that blue light exposure can impact melatonin production and sleep timing, affecting the circadian […]
Circadian Rhythms and Mitochondria: The Chronobiology of Energy Production
Mitochondria serve a number of vital roles in the health and function of our bodies. Perhaps one of the most important is the role of these organelles, found in almost all of our cells, in energy production. Our mitochondria help transform the food we eat into the energy that fuels the activities of our cells […]
Body Temperature Rhythms Change With Age: Here’s How it Affects Your Health
A recent study conducted by University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) researchers, offered interesting results concerning changes in body temperature rhythms. Published in Chronobiology International, a peer-reviewed journal specializing in biological and medical rhythm research, the results of the study linked those changes in body temperature patterns to aging and disease. The connection between aging […]
Exposure to Devices, Blue Light Damages Skin — Here’s How
With the rise in the use of blue-light-emitting devices, such as mobile phones and tablets, and artificial lighting, such as LED lights, the potential health impact of blue light has been garnering increased attention from researchers. Studies have shown that blue light can impact your melatonin production, sleep quality, circadian rhythm and eye health. Fortunately, […]
