Notes - Wow, you shoulda seen us last night. What gyrations we went through! But more about that in a minute! ;) *hehe* Just seein' if both of you are still readin' along with me!
Dr. Johnson was kind enough to send me a bit of information regarding circadian rhythm research, newly published this year, and as you know, I just finished a 3 week CRR (Circadian Rhythm Reset). Very interesting stuff about melatonin and inflammation/disease as well as melatonin and breast cancer.
We discussed low blue light atmosphere at night because the body is pre-programmed to metabolically perform based on 12 hours of light and 12 hours dark. But the problem in our world is that modern man has many light sources after sunset and most of those sources emit blue light (computers, tv, lights, display lights, signs, aquarium lights, etc).
The problem appears to exist in the blue light wavelengths. Exposure past 12 hours can disrupt your circadian rhythm and prevent you from producing melatonin, a hormone that helps regulate hundreds of metabolic gene sequences. (Yeah, I hear you over there...all two of you! ZzZZZzzzzZZZZZzzzZZZZzzz!)
But just let me say if you are over there napping during the day, chances are, you aren't sleeping soundly at night. And blue light exposure (especially during peak melatonin producting hours 10pm-12am, might be one of the culprits possibly robbing you of health and wealth! Mark talks about this over at Mark's Daily Apple.
Notice the abundant use of might and may and should! :D What do I know? Google it yourself! I'm just a fluffy chix who had breast cancer and loves to eat like nobody's beeswax (oh, AND who's lost 91.4 official pounds)! And I will grasp almost any straw, natural and possibly lab-inspired/created if that gives me even 1% of 1% better odds to survive with abundance and joy beyond 5 years - cuz my odds aren't so hot as they stand now.
So last night I ran around the house with my scissors, a cardboard lid and tape! Yes, you heard it here folks (or person)! I run with scissors! Denny and the boys simply sat by, watched, and remained very quiet and still. I cut and taped and sourced as many led displays and display panels and light sources as possible! I unplugged equipment. I covered windows with thumbtacks and beach towels. I was nutz! LOL! (Well, we already knew that one...)
Thanks to pals at LCF, Denny downloaded a program for his laptop screen that blocks blue light: The program is called f.lux and here's what Wiki has to say about it! As Mark says, "It's a complex subject but blue light exposure appears to be the low-hanging fruit and easily remedied."
Bottom line, the house was very dark. I felt like a bat. And sounds were amplified! :D Good times! I slept in dark sunglasses (not necessarily blue blockers, cuz they aren't), but they did cut down on outside light that comes in tall windows. And let's face it - the future's so bright, you gotta wear shades!
Dr. J. suggests buying blue blocking glasses that can even fit over other glasses. (Disclaimer: Neither he nor I have any pony in the show. We have no affiliation to the companies selling this stuff. I will say however, if it does help me lose weight, cut the inflammation and stay cancer-free? You can bet your sweet bippy I'm gonna find some way to sell these glasses on my webites! Cuz if they work, people need to have easy access to finding them!)
If you want me to send you a couple of studies about the CRR, just drop me an email and I will send those out to you. You can email me by going to the "Contact" tab on the home page, here.
Oh yeah, and my weight is still down at 222.6lbs today. I'm officially officially calling a 91lb loss to date! Yeeehawwwww! Slap my fanny and call me in for supper!

Well this was a happy Chicken Scratch! Congrats on the official weight loss. And I might cover a few led lights myself!
ReplyDeleteHahaha! DeAnne! I do feel happy, upbeat and optimistic. Now remember, placebo effect is a very powerful variable! I just know, that I am managing to sleep longer intervals and that has to be beneficial in some manner, maybe yet to be seen! :D
DeleteTry it and let me know! MUAH! Hugs to ya!
