Artificial blue light at night has a more devastating effect on youth athletes.
The circadian rhythm is a biological clock, refers to all hormonal changes that occur periodically in our body according to the change of day and night in a 24-hour cycle.
Growth hormone (HGH), which is most essential for growth and development, is most active between 10:00 and 12:00 in the evening,
It is affected the most by the secretion of the sleep hormone called melatonin .
However, artificial blue light from cell phones, computers, and fluorescent lights before bedtime has a tremendously negative effect on sleep hormone (melatonin) and growth hormone on long term!
Artificial blue light at night comes through the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN),
sending wrong signals to the body and slows down growth, development and physical development.
Put simply,
At night, blue light sends a signal to the brain that it is day, suppressing growth hormone and sleep hormone,
It promotes the secretion of stress hormones such as cortisol and insulin, which should be secreted during the day.
Going to bed at 10 o'clock when growth hormone secretion is most active, exposure to artificial blue light at night when growth hormone is suppressed,
Blocking through LUCIER Night lenses should be the most important life style for growing athletes.
Young players need to focus even more on the basics.
The basics of health and body care start with a lifestyle that respects the circadian rhythm.
Start respecting the basics of life with circadian rhythm friendly lifestyle!
