49. How Sunlight Helps you Lose Weight with Zaid K. Dahhaj
Regenerative Health with Max Gulhane, MD
Sunlight and Metabolic Health Relationship
The environment in which food is consumed, particularly the light environment, can significantly impact metabolic health. A study on mice with chronic circadian disruption showed adverse effects such as hypertrophy of adipocytes, fibrosis, raised inflammatory markers, and insulin resistance, despite being fed the same diet. This highlights the crucial role of the light environment in influencing metabolic health, indicating that it's not just about the food consumed. The POMC gene, which is stimulated by natural and artificial light, plays a key role in weight regulation and metabolic health, making it essential to consider sunlight exposure for overall well-being.
