Into the Light! Exposure to Light Impacts How Long We Live

A new study suggests that light exposure can impact how long we live, with participants who experienced bright nights having a higher risk of premature death. Conversely, those exposed to bright days had a lower mortality risk.

The study emphasizes the importance of light in regulating circadian rhythms and overall health. Experts recommend spending time outdoors during the day and minimizing light exposure at night to optimize health and sleep. The findings highlight the significant impact of light on our well-being and underscore the need to prioritize light exposure for better health outcomes.
