How does blue light affect children?
We live in a very bright world. A light bulb shines on us, a bright light is constantly emitted from the television and a smartphone in one hand is always following where ever we go.
Blue light is actually essential for the body and is part of the entire range of color wavelengths emitted by the sun.
It also plays a role in activating many functions of the human body and brain.
But the problem is not the blue light coming from sunlight, but from man made artificial light!
Did you know that blue light emitted from artificial light created for convenience has a fatal effect on the developing brains and bodies of children?
Computers, cell phones, and tablets have all become part of everyday life for children these days.
What effect does this have on children's health in the short and long term?
- short term problem
- poor sleep quality
- aggressive attitude
- eye strain
- chronic headache
- long term problem
- immune disease
- chronic fatigue
- increased risk of diabetes
- Increased cancer prevalence
We compared how artificial light affects the suppression of sleep hormone (melatonin) at night in elementary school students and adults.
As a result , we were able to confirm that children have more than twice the inhibition level and are more sensitive to light than adults.
How does blue light have negative effects?
Mitochondria are the engine cells of the human body and the cells that play the most important role in generating the energy necessary for living.
Hundreds of millions of mitochondria within the cells of the body are often restored through deep sleep caused by smooth secretion of melatonin.
The sleep hormone (melatonin) is secreted when the sun sets and it gets dark, but these days, children are exposed to bright light due to evening light bulbs and screen devices, which signals to their brains that it is still daytime.
According to research by Dr Douglas Wallace, a world-renowned expert in mitochondrial medicine,
Cancer
Diabetes
Obesity
Auto Immune Disease
Alzheimer's
Autism
Attention Deficit Disorder (ADHD)
Depression
And a lot of modern chronic diseases start from mitochondrial dysfunction! (source)
Therefore, in order to maintain children's deep sleep and correct circadian rhythm, protecting them from blue light is essential for their long-term growth and health!
Ideally, you should avoid exposure to all artificial light from sunset until you go to sleep. However, in modern lifestyles, it is difficult to block out all light in the evening, so it is necessary to protect your eyes and body with LUCIER premium blue light blocking glasses.
If you need to use screen devices during the day at school or through online learning, protect your eyes and body from harmful indoor light with LUCIER Day lenses.
Day lenses are designed to block 95% of blue light while allowing the appropriate amount of blue light necessary to pass through to maintain proper circadian rhythm.
If you are always exposed to indoor lighting at night and frequently use smart devices,
LUCIER Night lenses protect your body from blue light and green light that affect sleep.
Night lenses block the entire spectrum of blue and green light and are designed to greatly aid in deeper sleep and recovery.
Day & Night lenses are developed with a proprietary, science-based infusion of natural melanin pigment that blocks the most harmful range of blue light while providing eye comfort.
These two lenses can effectively protect the circadian rhythm, promote the secretion of sleep hormone (melatonin) and helps smoother secretion of growth hormone and other essential hormones.
This allows children to have a deeper sleep and produce higher amount of human growth hormones naturally!
LUCIER will help children live healthier, brighter lives!
