July is Ultraviolet Safety Month, a crucial time to raise awareness about the dangers of UV rays and the importance of protecting our eyes and skin. Ultraviolet radiation, a type of energy produced by the sun, can have serious health implications if proper precautions are not taken. Why is UV safety important? What are the … Continue reading “Ultraviolet Light Linked to Eye Disease and Skin Damage: UV Safety”
We have written extensively about how excess exposure to blue light can, over time, negatively affect vision. Not only does it affect our vision and ability to fall asleep, but it can also harm skin health, and neural pathways in the brain are affected in various ways.
Even though sunlight is free, we pay for electric lightbulbs. We enjoy access to light 24 hours a day, even lighting the outside at night. The miracle of electric lighting means more leisure and work time. What effects do the different types of lightbulbs have on our eyes? On our health? Does the type of … Continue reading “Why Lightbulb Choices Matter”
Exposure to electromagnetic fields has been considered a potential contributor or cause to many chronic illnesses for about 20 years. What is becoming more apparent is that EMF pollution when combined with toxins and poor diet makes chronic disease more likely. Toxins are found in foods, the environment, and prescription drugs. Poor diet (standard western … Continue reading “Wi-Fi, Cellphones & EMF Pollution”
Can electromagnetic (EMF) pollution represent any harm to the human body? These three research studies may indicate ill effects of EMF pollution on the brain and body. The first studied cell phones’ impact on brain chemistry; the second looked at the impact on the brain of radiation from wireless devices; and the third revealed that … Continue reading “EMF Pollution Studies May Indicate Ill Effects”
People who use cell phones for at least half an hour every day over many years (ie, 10 years) have more than 33% chance of developing malignant tumors in the brain, according to a landmark 2010 study from the World Health Organization. (reported by the New York Times) Researchers examined the amount of radio frequency … Continue reading “Cell Phones, Airport Scanners & Radiation Exposure”
