Episode notes
Vision’s Broader Role
- Vision is not just about perceiving shapes and colors; it affects mood and alertness, too.
- Your brain makes educated guesses about your surroundings based on electrical signals from the eyes.
Morning Sunlight for Circadian Health
- Get 2–10 minutes of bright sunlight early daily to activate melanopsin cells that set your circadian clock.
- This improves alertness, metabolism, mood, and overall biological timing.
Prevent Nearsightedness Outdoors
- Spend about two hours daily outdoors without sunglasses to reduce the risk of nearsightedness.
- Regularly exercise your eye muscles by shifting focus between near and distant objects.
