Impact of Blue Light on Appetite and Metabolism
Exposure to blue-rich light at night leads to increased appetite and snacking, while disrupting metabolic processes like glucose metabolism. Studies show that individuals exposed to blue light exhibit higher insulin resistance, decreased glucose tolerance, and increased risk of obesity and diabetes.
