ADVICE

Ventilate Hot Cars Effectively

  • Crack your car window open for a few minutes to ventilate toxic chemicals after it's been sitting in the heat.
  • Consider using a portable HEPA filter in your car for cleaner air and reduced chemical exposure.
INSIGHT

Light Signals Regulate Melanin

  • Eyes are a signaling tool that informs the brain about light, which regulates melanin and circadian rhythms.
  • Blocking sunlight with sunglasses inhibits melanin production, increasing sunburn risk.
ADVICE

Use Sunglasses Sensibly

  • Use sunglasses selectively, mostly when necessary like driving or in bright midday sun.
  • Build up eye resilience to sunlight naturally by getting regular outdoor exposure without sunglasses.
