Why clear blue light blocking glasses are insufficient
If we start from the conclusion, Clear blue light glasses do not actually BLOCK blue light. How many people have found that clear blue light blocking glasses have helped them sleep and protect their eyes? Not many. The reason is because the clear lenses don't block blue light, they only filter it! ﾠ Blocking vs Filtering Blue light has a wavelength range from approximately 400nm to 500nm . Several reliable studies have shown that the most harmful blue light wavelength range is between 440 nm and 500 nm. BUT! All transparent blue light blocking glasses sold on the market do not block wavelengths longer than 420 nm. Also important to note here is that there is a difference between filtering and blocking! Filtering literally means filtering out a certain wavelength of light. Transparent blue light not only does not block the wavelength range above 420nm, but it does not even block light below that level, it only filters about 30% to 60% of the wavelength. In other words, clear blue light glasses are filtering glasses! Not blocking glasses! Other companies only use the word blue light as a marketing tool, not actually prevent blue light from having a harmful effect on the human body. ﾠNo other clear blue light blocking glasses can ever block the full range of blue light. For blue light blocking glasses to make a noticeable difference to your sleep, they must block 100% of the entire spectrum of blue light. So why do blue light blocking glasses have to be yellow/red? As we learned in blue light, all light comes in rainbow colors. White light that comes from most indoor lights is a combination of red, orange, yellow, green, and blue wavelength. When it passes through glasses that block blue light, the colors that pass through are red, orange, yellow, and green, and these colors combine to produce yellow. This is why day lenses are yellow! Also, if you block blue and green, the colors that pass through are red, orange, and yellow, and these colors combine to make red. This is why night lenses are red! Most “blue light” glasses in the country are completely transparent lenses with only a shiny blue reflective coating. If the lenses does not have a small amount of yellow or red tint, it probably won't be blocking a significant portion of the harmful blue light emitted from LED and screen devices. Eye protection Day lenses completely block light from 400nm to 460nm, the most harmful range of artificial blue light. Sleep quality Night lenses, which are suitable for wearing at night, provide a noticeable improvement in sleep quality by completely blocking 100% of blue light and green light from 400nm to 550nm, which have a negative effect on sleep.

Foundation of health circadian rhythm
All functions in our body do not occur without a reason. All functions are constantly changing and require timely interaction to function properly. The most important change in the environment is the regular shift between light and dark. Therefore, the body follows these changes and has developed a time cycle to functions of the body, allowing us to survive and function in various environments. This cycle is called “circadian rhythm.” In Latin, circadian rhythm means “about a day.” Circadian rhythms controls the body's production of serotonin, dopamine, growth hormone, testosterone, and all other hormones essential for health and athletic performance. Above all, it is responsible for the production of melatonin, which is essential for sleep quality, damage repair, and recovery ability after strenuous exercise. For billions of years, the Sun has been the only light source capable of stimulating our circadian rhythms. Then, before we learned about circadian rhythm, the light bulb was invented to allow people work more hours. Over time, artificial light has evolved to make human body feel more awake and alert in the evening by adding wavelengths of blue light, a component of white light that affects circadian rhythm. As humans began to be exposed to more and more blue light, this began to affect circadian rhythm. Exposure to blue light wavelengths at night has a negative effect on melatonin secretion, which prevents us from falling into a deep sleep. It also makes you feel more tired and less energetic during the day and promotes aging. The most harmful thing of all is that these diseases are all fundamentally caused by artificial blue light exposure at night. heart disease, diabetes, obesity, alzheimer's, autoimmune disease, Cancer All these causes starts with disrupting the rhythm that controls our biological changes. With research showing the dangers of exposure to artificial light, we have two options. 1. Escape into the wild and give up the convenience and stability of the modern lifestyle for which our ancestors worked so hard . 2.Use this knowledge intelligently to maintain a healthy circadian rhythm in modern society. So how can we achieve these circadian rhythm-friendly practices? 1. Just like our ancestors did, wake up at sunrise and make it a priority to go outdoors and receive sunlight. If possible, watch the sun rise in person. By starting your day with natural, beneficial light, you can get your circadian rhythm right and get one step closer to optimal health. 2. Spend as much time as possible outdoors during the day. Exposing your eyes and body to the full spectrum of solar rays essential to the circadian rhythm, whether in the shade or in direct sunlight, you provide your body with a variety of biological virtuous processes. For people in occupations where this practice is not easy, sitting next to an open window can be a good alternative. Closed windows filter out much of the red, infrared and near infrared wavelengths, which are the most healing rays of sunlight, and serve to balance the high-energy blue and ultraviolet wavelengths. In other words, receiving sunlight through a closed window is a distorted ray that deviates from the full spectrum of sunlight, so it is difficult to expect the desired effect and, in fact, has a harmful effect. Therefore, when we inevitably have to stay indoors during the day, we need Day lenses to protect our bodies from artificial lighting and LED fluorescent lights, which stress the body and cause great harm to health. As night comes and the sun sets, you should wear Night lenses to synchronize your circadian rhythm with rhythm of nature and protect your sleep by minimizing exposure to the harmful blue light that all modern lighting, especially screen devices. Day lenses block 95% of artificial blue light. Night lenses block 100% of artificial blue light and green light. So the next question you may ask would be “Why LUCIER glasses and not products from other cheaper brands?" Here's why: Most blue light blockers on the market don't sufficiently block the most harmful wavelengths of blue light. In particular, glasses with transparent lenses uses the word “blue light” as a marketing goal, but it is difficult to expect any real effect. Blue light contains a wide wavelength of approximately 400 to 500 nanometers (nm). All blue light at this wavelength has been proven to be harmful to circadian rhythm and health when it comes from artificial light or not from a full-spectrum light source like the sun. Most companies that make “blue light” blocking glasses do not change the color of the lenses because they believe that customers will not want to wear colored lenses. However, when a lens is clear, it means that the visible rays passing through it do not change. Most “blue light” lenses in the market are completely transparent lenses with only a shiny blue anti-reflective coating. These lenses can generally block blue light up to 420 nm, but not up to 460 nm, which is the most harmful range emitted by modern lighting and screen devices. Studies have shown that blocking light lower than the range between 400 and 460 nm is not an acceptable compromise for optimal health, so the effectiveness of clear blue light glasses is disappointingly insufficient! “A half truth leads to a full lie”-Benjamin Franklin If you begin to deeply understand the principles of sunlight and nature, you can realize that, if you break down and artificially imitate nature, it will usually cause bigger problems. LUCIER will do our best to help you regain optimal health through complete solutions rather than providing distorted information.

Effects of blue light on sleep
How does blue light affect sleep? First, let's take a brief look at proper sleeping patterns. ﾠThe body recognizes day and night through constant changes in the sun and controls all hormone secretions through the biological clock. It works to keep you awake and focused during the day, and guides you to achieve deep repair and restful sleep at night. The phenomenon of falling asleep and waking up through the process of hormonal secretion at the right time is called Circadian rhythm. What is circadian rhythm? ﾠ The Ideal function of circadian rhythm is, During the day - the body secretes cortisol , serotonin , dopamine and other essential hormones to keep us alert and focused. At night - as the sun sets and it gets dark, melatonin is secreted, which is essential for restful sleep and deep recovery. Dark nights are essential for the secretion of sleep hormone (melatonin). BUT! The circadian rhythm disrupted by excessive artificial light at night suppresses the secretion of melatonin and hormones necessary for growth and recovery, and this pattern is repeated, leads to chronic fatigue, poor sleep quality and insomnia. However, Modern society is a world where we cannot live without artificial light at night. From LED light bulbs and fluorescent lights to cell phones and computers, they are all sources of blue light, the dominant wavelength of artificial light. And this blue light sends a signal to your body through your eyes that it needs to be awake, suppressing sleep hormones! ﾠ Exposure to artificial blue light, especially 1-2 hours before going to sleep, can have detrimental long-term effects on the body. How does blue light adversely affect sleep? Blue light is a wavelength of high energy sources. Higher energy means light travels deeper into the brain through the eyes.What happens when you receive artificial blue light at night instead of during the day: High-energy blue light passes through the eyes and reaches the brain. The brain recognizes that it is morning time and sends a signal to every cell in the body to be awake. Hormones that must be secreted during the day continue at night. Recovery, regeneration, and growth cannot occur properly If you are unable to get a quality sleep. As this process is repeated, we encounter various diseases and chronic fatigue through a vicious cycle. Blue light is necessary during the day when we need to be awake, but at night, you need to send clear signals to your brain and body that it is time to sleep . Our eyes cannot detect the difference between natural and artificial blue light. The brain only receives information from high-energy sources through blue light and sends signals to the human body. However, blue light before going to sleep artificially brightens the dark night, reducing the secretion of melatonin (sleep hormone), which is a major factor in adversely affecting sleep. ﾠSo what can we do to effectively block blue light at night?If we could wake up at sunrise , face darkness at sunset , and use fire as our only source of light at night, as our ancestors did, we would be able to maintain an optimal circadian rhythm and sleep pattern. However, for modern people for whom this practice is practically impossible, LUCIER has developed glasses that block 100% of blue light so that even modern people can maintain healthier circadian rhythm! LUCIER yellow Day Lenses are designed to block 95% of the most harmful range of artificial blue light while allowing necessary colors to pass through for perception, functionality and health. ﾠ LUCIER red night lenses blocks 100% of artificial blue and green light, which are proven to be harmful to health and disrupt sleep patterns and circadian rhythm.

Sunlight and athletic performance
Why do football players like Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo and Erling Haaland regularly expose their bodies to sunlight? Because they already know that sunlight is key to performance and recovery. Sunlight is arguably the most important thing for athletes to achieve and recover from. It plays a key role in muscle/fascial structure and mitochondrial function, which directly impact optimal health/motor performance. If we start with the most logical argument, we can point to the circadian rhythm, the body's biological clock. Circadian Rhythm Circadian rhythm refers to the periodic changes and hormonal responses that occur in our bodies in response to the regular changes of day and night . Circadian rhythm, our biological clock, controls processes that are important for the production of serotonin , dopamine , growth hormone , testosterone , and other hormones essential for health and motor function. Above all, it controls the production of the hormone melatonin , which is essential for sleep quality, recovery after intense exercise, and anti -aging . The sun fluctuates throughout the day, with important processes to complete and new processes to begin. However, blue light , which is a distorted light source rather than natural light , is the factor that has the greatest negative impact on circadian rhythm. As you might expect, this has devastating effects on sleep depth , dopamine formation , and bioenergy (ATP) production . Next, let's read a quote from Dr Jack Kruse : Muscle quality and fiber type are greatly influenced by early childhood exposure to sunlight. Morning sunlight, which is a transition between ultraviolet A (UVA) and infrared A (IRA) light, directly stimulates dopamine release. This is one of the processes by which dopamine is made from aromatic amino acids (AAA). Dopamine builds muscle in the form of fibers. Morning sunlight produces the highest levels of dopamine. Usain Bolt lives on top of a volcano in Jamaica. The higher the human body is above the ground, the more UV radiation it receives. The darker the skin, the higher the redox . Kenyans live in Nairobi, which is 1 degree north of the supervolcano. They have the darkest skin to protect their skin from UV rays. The UV index in Nairobi is 14-15. This is why they have the best fiber type for long distance running. Most of the top 20 NFL players went to schools in the southeastern United States. Muscle fiber type is related to your physiology and the amount of sun exposure you received as a child. Infrared is the fastest way to create solar callus, allowing more UV rays to be safely and effectively absorbed. - Dr Jack Kruse (Dr. Jack Cruz is an American neurosurgeon and phytogeographer . He is the one who taught me the most about all of LUCIER's internal energy.) What we can learn from this is that the functions of the human body can be shaped by the environment in which we live during childhood. Sunlight near the equator and living at high altitudes means a lot more UV, and more UV signals the body to maximize its motor skills to suit the circumstances of the environment. This explains why countless world-class athletes grew up in environments where they could build their physical foundation by exercising outdoors every day , rather than spending their childhood indoors on computers . Vitamin D Contrary to popular belief, vitamin D is actually more of a hormone than a vitamin. Vitamin D is not a vitamin in the usual sense. Most natural diets, except for raw fatty fish, contain little vitamin D. Also, activated vitamin D is a secosteroid hormone or antioxidant. The vitamin D steroid system traditionally originates in the skin, not the mouth. Skin production from indirect ultraviolet B (UVB) light from sunlight, not dietary intake, is the primary source of circulating human vitamin D stores. Vitamin D is essential for the proper functioning of the human body. Vitamin D deficiency is a serious problem, and many people and athletes are sabotaging their health and performance by living an indoor lifestyle. Vitamin D is essential for physical growth, calcium absorption, and skeletal development. Vitamin D is rarely found in the natural diet. Vitamin D also affects muscle performance. This means strength, balance, reaction speed, etc. This proves how vitamin D alone can increase motor skills. Improve performance and prevent potential injuries In the early 20th century, despite the limited and lack of clear evidence at the time, many athletes and trainers believed that ultraviolet B radiation enhanced athletic performance. Mounting evidence supports a functional role for vitamin D in skeletal muscle, and young athletes who are deficient in it are at risk for poor performance and potential injury. Increased sprinting ability and muscle strength "Attention, Hell Window" If you don't get enough sunlight, you will lose muscle mass. Taken together, these results suggest that vitamin D levels are related to the evaluation of sprinting ability and muscle strength expressed as Vo2max in professional soccer players , and these data can reaffirm the importance of serum vitamin D levels. With limited exposure to sunlight, the quality of fast-twitch muscle fibers decreases. Ultimately, it can be concluded that maximizing the body's vitamin D levels is one of the most important things for any athlete. This means getting as much sunlight as possible, for as long as possible, on as many parts of your body as possible. It also means avoiding sunglasses, sunscreen, and clothing that covers too much of the skin, as they go against the natural laws of nature and prevent proper absorption of sunlight. Melatonin Melatonin is produced by sunlight in the morning , and then secreted in response to lack of light (darkness) at night. Melatonin switches our bodies into nighttime, digestion, and recovery mode. It is produced primarily in the pineal gland, but also in the eyes. Blue light at night suppresses melatonin, which means it has a negative impact on recovery and regeneration. Melatonin is the main antioxidant and antagonist of cortisol. Good levels of melatonin at night help prevent long-term cancer development and boost immunity. It also helps lower estrogen levels. High melatonin levels naturally lower body temperature for sleep, allowing mitochondria to store bioenergy (ATP) for the next day. Melanopsin is affected by blue light between 435 nm and 465 nm, while melatonin is affected by light up to 550 nm. This is why blue light blocking glasses must block up to 550 nm meters, which is the end point of blue and green light. All transparent blue light blocking glasses in the country do not block the entire range of blue light. LUCIER glasses are humbly proud to be the only product on the market that completely blocks blue light. Darkness at night is also important for athletic performance, as it flows with the duality of nature. The darker the night, the better. Complete darkness allows the body to enter deep recovery mode, which is the most important part of recovery. Just as bears hibernate in caves during the winter, and most of their physical changes occur while they sleep. (Source) Melatonin supplements destroy the UV receptors that are needed to function properly during the day. All sleep aids, including melatonin supplements, come with long-term costs. Dark nights, it's important for all athletes to remember that this is a habit they should prioritize above any other recovery exercise or routine. Dopamine Dopamine is a neurotransmitter, a hormone that transmits information between nerve cells in the brain. Dopamine causes cellular changes that can affect happiness in a number of ways. It plays a role in many everyday behaviors, including how we move, feel, and eat. Dopamine is most responsible for feelings of pleasure and well-being , and helps with movement, learning, memory, and positive emotions. Dopamine is the basis of overwhelming confidence that makes the body move faster. Sprinters in the northern United States are no match for those in the South. Why does Florida produce twice as many elite sprinters as Illinois? I think the difference in speed is related to sunlight and dopamine. The minimum exposure time to sunlight is 30 to 60 minutes, but the more the better. Sunlight also promotes vitamin D production, increases testosterone levels, and helps with deep sleep. We evolved to live in natural light for 35,000 years. Now, too many people live with artificial light. -Track coach Tony Holler All screen devices use blue light to project images. Blue light is very stimulating to dopamine receptors. Blue light from the screen creates a tremendous sense of pleasure. That's why iPhones are so addictive. -Physical Trainer Christian Thibaudeau Sunlight , rather than artificial light indoors, uses aromatic amino acids that absorb ultraviolet rays to create dopamine, which in turn creates hormones like cortisol. -Dr Jack Kruse Cell phone use increases the AMP-k pathway, which regulates glucose metabolism and opens the blood-brain barrier. And the dopamine reward system is adversely affected by bright screen porn, computer games, bright screens, etc. This is the real reason why mobile phone addiction started around 2008. From 3G to 4G and now 5G, screen devices that show off blue light increase blood glucose levels and destroy dopamine. This is why we are literally addicted to our phones. Modern lifestyles are full of artificial dopamine-boosting activities like social media, processed foods, and pornography , which disrupts the dopamine reward system. As a result, activities like real sex, exercise, and being in nature are not performed smoothly. -Dr Jack Kruse What we can understand here is that if we overstimulate dopamine through artificial blue light, electromagnetic waves, porn, processed foods, etc. We lose stimulation in important parts of life, such as sunlight, exercise, and socializing with friends, which are dopamine receptors that need to occur in real life ! This also explains why players who appear fast and strong appear more alive and energetic. This means that their dopamine receptors are functioning optimally. Mitochondria Health is more complex than just calories. The body is not made up of just carbohydrates, fats, and proteins. Many people and athletes get caught up in the swamp of measuring protein grams and daily calories, and fail to see the essence of health. If we look inside the human body, we can see electrons and protons, and even light and consciousness. Whatever you think, you need to know that health is more than just the nutrition facts on the back of processed foods . Mitochondria produce their own extremely low frequency ultraviolet (ELF-UV) light to communicate with each other . This is an internal energy system that can be nurtured or regressed depending on physical and mental circumstances. To understand mitochondria, we need to go inside the cells of our body. Mitochondria are, simply put, the engine cells of the human body. What we don’t learn in modern medicine is how mitochondria are controlled and changed by the environment, and how they affect health and athletic performance. The best example to think about mitochondria, the engine cells, is to imagine a car. Food is fuel, Mitochondria are the engine. What will play a more central role? Best Gasoline? Or Tuned Engine? No matter how good the fuel is, if the engine is broken and rusty, the fuel doesn't matter. Without healthy mitochondria, your blood and organs are less able to transmit the hormones they need to each other , which means your body won't function as well as it should. -Dr Jack Kruse People with optimized mitochondria have high Redox . Redox is how well the mitochondria in your body can perform the functions necessary for life. Your Redox is how well the engine of your body is working. (Reduction, Oxidation = Redox) Directly or indirectly, all top level athletes, regardless of sport, have optimal mitochondrial function , which means their redox is very high and efficient. And the thing that has the greatest impact on mitochondrial function is light . Light controls and directs all biological functions in the body. There are four light receptors in the body. Skin Gut Eyes Lungs Sunlight plays a major role in transmitting information to the human body through all of these light receptors, correcting bodily functions, curing the root cause of illness, and achieving and maintaining optimal health! Infrared (Red Light) Red light, also known as infrared, is a specific type of light with a wavelength between approximately 620 nm and 750 nm. The most scientifically proven infrared wavelengths are 630 nm and 660 nm. Near-infrared light starts at 750 nm and extends to 1200 nm. The most scientifically proven near-infrared wavelengths to have the most beneficial effects on the human body are 810 nm, 830 nm, and 850 nm . As is often seen in Oriental medicine clinics, treatment is often done with an infrared irradiator to benefit from the red wavelength of sunlight, which is the healing light. What is essentially happening here is that the power of the sun is being studied, refined and used for the healing and restoration of the body. The main source of infrared radiation is natural sunlight , especially visible at sunrise and sunset . Red light ( infrared, near-infrared, far-infrared ) is considered a healing color among the many rays in sunlight. There is a growing body of research on the positive benefits of infrared exposure. Increases oxygen intake and helps reduce body fat Improving Futsal Players’ Performance with Infrared Infrared waves that help improve physical strength Increased speed and power through infrared therapy Infrared helps recover muscle damage in high-level soccer players Faster injury recovery with infrared therapy It helps a lot in bone recovery. How can we put this knowledge into practice? You should spend as much time outdoors as possible. Infrared waves are not just a wavelength range that is visible at sunset and sunrise, they are always present. That is why it is important to prioritize exposure to sunlight on your skin, and even use infrared irradiators to help your body heal and recover from the inside out, which can be very effective! UV light As we learned from the UV stigma , UV plays an essential role in our body, contrary to popular belief. UV is part of the invisible light range of 10 nm to 400 nm . To make it easier to understand, let's talk about the actual wavelength ranges, UVA (UVA) 315 nm to 400 nm and UVB (UVB) 280 nm to 315 nm. As most of you know, UV rays have been blamed for causing cancer and other health problems for decades. I am sure this is completely exaggerated and based on either deliberate or misleading research findings. The sun, and especially its UV rays, are vilified because they support a multi-billion dollar industry of sunscreens, vitamin D supplements, and are an easy scapegoat for the underlying causes of cancer, such as artificial blue light and industrially processed foods. Many of the studies that are being conducted to find out the problem with UV are done in labs with artificially isolated UV rays, not in the full spectrum of sunlight. As we have learned, there is a price to be paid when we segment or isolate nature. All elements of nature, including sunlight, work in a holistic manner. In the past, Soviet sports scientists “doped” Olympic athletes with ultraviolet light to enhance their performance. There is also a historical fact that ultraviolet rays have been widely used not only to enhance motor skills and performance, but also to maintain good health and physical condition among the general public. If you raise livestock indoors, they will gain weight very quickly, and this can be the same for humans who stay away from light. So if you want to lose weight or build muscle, you need to expose your body to the sun regularly. [Gift of Sunlight] Testosterone Testosterone, also known as the androgen, is a hormone that plays a key biological role in the bodies of men and women alike. The study found that exposure to UV light caused a significant increase in testosterone levels that did not return to baseline levels for more than a week. The amount of increase was also found to be related to the area of skin exposed to UV light. When the researchers exposed the chest and back of the men, they found that baseline testosterone levels increased by nearly 120%. However, the most significant increase in testosterone occurred when the participants’ testicles were exposed to UV light. This resulted in a more than 200% increase in baseline testosterone levels. This study shows that increasing testosterone levels is a natural, legal way to maximize performance, and is a good tool for elite athletes. The reason why this type of knowledge is not often exposed to mainstream medicine and the media is simple. There is not much profit to be made by countless supplement companies and health businesses that insist that you get enough sunlight. They want you to rely on expensive supplements and nutrients, not that their primary goal is to help you achieve real change through sunlight and nature. A small number of athletes also do not bother to come forward and share this information in order to gain an advantage over their competitors. For optimal health and athletic performance, it is recommended to expose as much of your body to sunlight as possible. This is one of the reasons why top level athletes are naturally fit . You'll find that kids who are relatively bigger and more muscular than their peers, even without spending a lot of time in the gym, have very high levels of hormones like testosterone, which we mentioned. Holistic Metamorphosis So far, we have discussed in detail the importance of sunlight and how it has a major impact on motor neurons. From the importance of our biological rhythms, called circadian rhythms, to how essential hormones like vitamin D, melatonin and dopamine are affected by sunlight, We also learned about mitochondria, the engine cells of the human body, and about the important ultraviolet and infrared rays in sunlight . To sum up... There may have been some difficult content to understand, but what you absolutely need to know through this article is, The truth is that sunlight and nature are designed to make our bodies healthy and strong. You should spend as much time in the sunlight as possible, morning and afternoon. You can maximize the speed of recovery by exposing the injured area to more sunlight. Indoors, protect your eyes and body from harmful artificial blue light with LUCIER day lenses. After the sun goes down, you should wear LUCIER night lenses to effectively block artificial blue and green light emitted from smartphones and computers, thereby improving recovery , injury prevention , performance , and most importantly, sleep quality for athletes.

False accusation of UV light
The sun, the source of all life Sunlight is the most essential biological requirement for sustaining life. We humans can exist because of the sun. If there were no sun, there would be no Earth and life, and even humans, could not exist. Historically, every race and civilization on Earth has worshipped the sun in their own way. Apollo, the sun god of Roman civilization, was worshipped as the god of light and healing. The ancient Egyptian sun god Ra was a manifestation of divinity. The Egyptians believed that humans were born from Ra's tears, and the Chinese believed that there were ten suns that appeared one after another. We need to consider why so many ancient cultures devoted so much time and resources to things that we today learn are meaningless and unimportant. While I have always considered these historical concepts to be worthy of consideration, modern medicine often dismisses these explanations as religious fanaticism or simply primitive. But if we look at it from a rational perspective, we can see that there is a lot to learn about human health and vitality from ancient rituals and practices. In fact, it has been proven that among the various rays of sunlight, ultraviolet rays have the most biologically important activity. The intensity of ultraviolet rays and all other rays varies greatly depending on the location and season on the Earth. Thanks to this, all life on Earth can maintain a constant cycle of change necessary for growth and evolution, and this cycle is called the circadian rhythm . What is circadian rhythm? What is ultraviolet radiation? Ultraviolet light is a part of invisible light with a wavelength ranging from 10 nm to 400 nm. To make double understanding easier, let's talk about ultraviolet A (UVA) 315 nm to 400 nm and ultraviolet B (UVB) 280 nm to 315 nm. The first thing to understand is that UV rays play a vital role in our bodies, contrary to popular belief. As most of you know, UV rays have been blamed for causing cancer and other health problems for decades. I am convinced that this is completely exaggerated and based on research findings that are intentionally or potentially misleading. The sun, especially its ultraviolet rays, is falsely accused. As it supports multibillion-dollar industries like sunscreen and vitamin D supplements, and makes us easy scapegoats for real-world cancer causes like artificial blue light and industrially processed foods . Much of the research being done to discover the problem with UV has been done in laboratories using artificially isolated UV light, rather than full-spectrum sunlight. There is a price to pay for fragmenting or isolating nature. Nature, sunlight, all work in a holistic way. The Amazing Effects of UV Rays “Among the wavelength ranges, especially infrared, near-infrared, and ultraviolet increase EZ water in the human body. It’s like charging a cell phone battery. That’s why infrared, near-infrared, and ultraviolet make people feel good and more energetic. (Think about why you feel good when you’re at the ocean or in the mountains.) That’s also why ultraviolet has a positive effect on motor skills. The human body gains great benefits in terms of motor skills when exposed to ultraviolet light. This literature dates back to the 50s and is even very well described. -Dr. Leland Stillman (EZ water: water that exists inside cells and is the energy source that millions of mitochondria, the cellular power plants, need to produce energy) Above all, ultraviolet rays from sunlight play the most essential role in synthesizing vitamin D. Vitamin D supplements are no substitute for natural sunlight. It's like asking someone to do push-ups. Also, vitamin D pills completely block your body's own production of vitamin D. -Dr Jack Kruse Benefits of sunbathing: - Increased vitality - Increased immunity - Increased energy, endurance and strength - Increased blood oxygen carrying capacity - Increased stress resistance and reduced depression - Improved electrocardiogram results [Gift of Sunlight] Before the discovery of antibiotics (the first antibiotic was penicillin) in the 1930s, before the advent of modern medicine, European medicine favored the healing powers of sunlight. Until the 19th century and the mid-20th century, sunlight therapy, or sun therapy, was considered the most effective treatment for infectious diseases. Sun therapy basically involves natural exposure to direct sunlight. Research has shown that when exposed to well-controlled amounts of sunlight, blood pressure in hypertensive patients drops dramatically, blood sugar levels in diabetics drop abnormally high, and white blood cell counts increase, which is essential for fighting disease. Sunlight therapy can even increase cardiac output and increase the blood’s ability to carry oxygen. Patients suffering from gout, rheumatoid arthritis, colitis, arteriosclerosis, anemia, cystitis, eczema, acne, psoriasis, herpes infections, lupus, sciatica, kidney disease, asthma, and even burns can all benefit significantly from exposure to the healing rays of sunlight, the ultraviolet rays. Sunlight is probably the most powerful natural remedy with the widest therapeutic range. Dr. Auguste Rolier, M.D., was the most famous sun therapy practitioner of his time . At his peak, he operated 36 hospitals with over 1,000 beds in Leysin, Switzerland . His hospitals were located 500 feet above sea level. For every 1,000 feet you go up above sea level, the intensity of UV radiation increases by 4 percent. So at 5,000 feet above sea level, the intensity of the sun's UV radiation is about 20 percent higher than at sea level . The strategic location of the hospital allowed his patients to receive more ultraviolet light. Dr. Rollier used ultraviolet light to treat diseases such as tuberculosis, rickets, smallpox, lupus vulgaris (a type of true tuberculosis of the skin), and wounds. About 8,000 people die each year from melanoma, the most dangerous type of skin cancer. It also kills about 3.5 million people in the United States each year. The causes are all related to lack of sunlight and vitamin D deficiency. Cristiano Ronaldo Are UV rays really harmful? “Light stimulates the body to produce hormones and neurotransmitters. Saying that sunlight causes cancer is like saying that spoons make people fat.” -Dr Leland Stillman Ultraviolet rays, which are high-energy wavelengths, can have harmful effects on the body. But first, we need to understand how they cause harmful effects. UVA has a longer wavelength, so it penetrates deeper into the Earth’s atmosphere and through windows. However, UVB wavelengths are blocked by most windows. What does this mean? UVB plays a role in synthesizing vitamin D, and UVA plays a role in reducing the production of vitamin D. This is a system that maintains a mutual balance and protects the body from excessive vitamin D synthesis when exposed to sunlight outside. However, when exposed to sunlight through a window, you get UVA, but you do not get UVB, which is actually beneficial for vitamin D synthesis. If UVA is exposed to the body separately without UVB, it not only destroys vitamin D production, but also causes oxidative stress. Exposure to distorted UVA wavelengths is one of the main causes of skin cancer and accelerates skin aging. UVA is also the main cause of skin tanning. UVB wavelengths stimulate melanin and actually synthesize vitamin D without darkening the skin. Normally, sunburn is not a problem because the skin is exposed to both UVA and UVB rays. However, if the sun hits your skin through a window, the long-term risk of cancer increases because UVA destroys vitamin D levels while you do not receive the benefits of UVB. This is why people who drive for long hours or have jobs that involve window seats are more likely to develop skin cancer on their arms. -Dr Jack Kruse There is also little scientific evidence that sunscreen prevents skin cancer. However, sunscreen does prevent skin from burning. Let’s find out how this works. 1. First, when you apply sunscreen, the UV-blocking chemicals that block UVB rays are absorbed into your skin. (UVB rays are what causes skin to burn) 2. SPF (Sun Protection Factor) is a synthetic ingredient that has been tested in laboratories to prevent skin from burning . 3. However, SPF interferes with the skin's early warning system and prevents excessive exposure to sunlight. By neutralizing the natural healing power of the body, it creates a false sense of security. 4. Essentially, sunscreen anesthetizes the skin. 5. The UVB rays that sunscreen blocks are essential rays that produce and stimulate vitamin D and essential sex hormones. UV rays are harmful to the human body when they are separated into UVA and UVB. And windows and sunscreens each separate UVA and UVB in different ways. Next time your dermatologist tells you that sunlight is bad for your skin, mention this study: The farther you are from the equator, where the sun's intensity is strongest, the higher your risk of skin cancer. -Dr Jack Kruse Why You Should Avoid Sunscreen Sunglasses People with natural tans tend to look healthier and happier. Why is that? First, let's find out why you should avoid sunscreen. 1. Most sunscreens block UVB rays, which produce vitamin D. 2. However, it does not block UVA, and UVA is the main factor leading to skin cancer when it is separated and affects the skin. 3. Sunscreens are also full of harmful endocrine disrupting chemicals. Studies have shown that sunscreens contain tyrosinase inhibitors, which increase the risk of developing malignant melanoma. If your body has not yet adapted to the sun, it is advisable to protect your skin with natural coconut oil. No society has ever feared sunlight as much as modern civilization. The real causes of skin cancer are excessive exposure to sunlight on certain parts of the body through sunscreens full of chemicals , and modern people's diets that are mainly comprised of processed foods. -Dr Jack Kruse Sunscreens that use ingredients that absorb UV rays can damage DNA when exposed to light. [Gift of Sunlight] Sunscreens negatively affect photons, which are the rays that need to be converted into harmless heat , leading to DNA damage. A 1998 study in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute reported that children who frequently used sunscreen were more likely to develop moles and freckles. Many people need to realize that sunburn is less harmful to your skin than sunscreen, which is full of hard-to-pronounce chemicals on the ingredient list! Do you think the chemicals on the ingredient list are safe? Studies have found that it is difficult to prove that sunscreen provides a protective effect against skin cancer in the general population. Sunscreens are more likely to cause cancer than to protect the skin. Cancer occurs when mitochondrial cell death does not function properly. -Matt Maruca What surprised the medical community the most was that the healing light from the sun had no effect when the patient wore sunglasses (sunglasses block the spectrum of light from the sun that has a key biochemical function) . [Gift of Sunlight] You should never cover your eyes when you are in the sun. Your eyes need the stimulation from the sun. This protects your eyes from myopia. -Dr. Jack Kruse The sun is very important for the health of our eyes. Sunlight also helps us make the vitamin D we need. Without sunlight, our eyes can appear pale and dull. We call extreme sensitivity to sunlight photophobia. Most people who are sensitive to light try to solve the problem by wearing sunglasses. However, sunglasses are only a stopgap measure. Wearing sunglasses can lead to a cycle where we cannot receive enough sunlight and our sensitivity to light increases. The longer we wear sunglasses, the more sensitive our eyes become to light. So the vicious cycle repeats. Through this knowledge, we can also see that we should not wear sunglasses either, as this will actually increase our sensitivity to the sun's light, which will have even greater negative effects in the long run. The real Root Cause Artificial Light Processed food Sunscreen with chemical ingredients Inconsistent exposure to sunlight Excessive sunlight exposure on small portion of body parts This is the real cause of skin cancer! "Today, we are so consumed with rumors and fears about sun exposure that we go to great lengths to cover ourselves up before going outside. We slather on sunscreen, wear sunglasses, and bundle up in layers. But our bodies need the sun to nourish us. While prolonged exposure is dangerous, getting some sunlight every day is definitely necessary. It helps build collagen in our skin, promotes brain development and mental development, and creates EZ water in our cells." [The Strongest Life] Receiving sunlight through the eyes and skin, depression recovery Overcoming frequent immune disorders Increased sex hormones Improved sleep quality Not only that, it also brings countless benefits. To sum up... I could argue in more detail and logically, citing countless research results based on the laws of nature and true science. But what does that mean? Nature does not lie. We must not forget that everything in nature exists for a reason. To live a healthy life, you must be able to think independently. How did humans evolve over generations without sunscreen? Why has skin cancer become a common disease in modern society? Why do healthy-looking athletes love the sun? Now is the time to clear the name of UV rays. Get outside and enjoy the natural sunlight and feel the real difference in your health!

Why you need night lenses even if you sleep well
“I feel like I sleep well enough. Do I really need glasses?” Let's take a simple example and try to answer this question. Humans are creatures of adaptation. For example, if you drink a cup of coffee every night, you may have a hard time falling asleep at first, but after 3 to 6 months, your body will gradually adapt and become less sensitive to caffeine. And this can be easily compared to artificial light. Most people experience 80% quality sleep, but mistake it for 100%. This is because they have adapted to artificial light. Modern people are increasingly moving away from deep sleep, as their bodies gradually adapt to the harmful effects of artificial light. However, adaptation does not mean that the negative effects on the body have been alleviated. Still, the biggest factor leading to chronic fatigue, insomnia and the root of all diseases is exposure to artificial light during the modern night. That's why you need LUCIER night lenses to get a better night's sleep and improve the quality of recovery! Why not take preventive measures to protect your sleep before exposure to artificial light at night leads to major health problems? Experience a deeper sleep with LUCIER. SHOP NOW

Hi. This is Juhun Yang Founder and CEO of LUCIER. Today, I would like to briefly talk about the things I experienced as a footballer, the story of injuries, obstacles, pain and the process of overcoming it. The saying that athletes are always energetic and healthy did not apply to me. From a young age, I caught colds more easily than other kids, lived with enteritis, always had uncomfortable sleeping problems and always had a low immunity. Overall, I had a childhood that could be described as having a weak vitality. Nevertheless, with a will to play football and dreaming of becoming a footballer I played amateur and professional football in South Korea youth and pro for 15 years. In fact, I started having more health problems in my 20s. Chronic fatigue made it impossible for me to feel refreshed no matter how much I slept, and I always suffered from headaches and yawning in the afternoon. One time, before my first professional team trial, I came down with a bad flu that left me in pain for over three months. I still remember crying bitterly in front of the hospital after hearing the doctor’s opinion that “I don’t think your body is suitable for professional football.” Above all, injuries, which are the biggest enemy of athletes, bothered me more than any other athletes. I broke my foot during the pro team trial just on the edge of signing a contract, which I prepared with all my heart, and after checking the X-ray at the hospital, I sobbed and thought “Is this really not for me". It genuinely broke my heart. In addition, there were countless big and small injuries and health problems, that I didn't have the mental magnanimity to think like this at the time, but looking back now, It was the the foundation for the valuable lessons and wisdom I gained after countless trials and errors. Looking back, it seems like I went through a ridiculous number of steps to heal and solve my problems. Along with the memories of receiving an IV drip three times a day, I took countless medications such as antibiotics, headache medicine, Tylenol, etc. I took nutritional supplements, and sunscreen with sunglasses being always with me wherever I go. I had invested a lot of money in my health to the point that there is no herbal medicine that I have not tried, such as red ginseng, deer antler, and a lot of other supplements. This was effective in temporarily relieving symptoms. However, most drugs had a long-term side effects. Through this, I learned that I need to find the root cause of a problem not the symptom. Symptom vs The root Cause. It was only after realizing that “no medical prescriptions or treatment methods can solve the root cause of the problem” that I began to deeply study what health truly is. Through years of learning, which began with such an passion, I learned about mitochondria, the engine cells of the human body. I learned that mitochondria are the most essential cells for survival and vitality, which is responsible for generating energy for the proper functioning of all life on Earth. The most important thing I learned was that mitochondria is impacted highest by the light. To easily understand mitochondria, think of a car. Food is fuel, and mitochondria are the engine. What's more important? No matter how good gasoline and fuel you use, if the engine breaks down, The car cannot run properly. Likewise, I came to a great realization that if mitochondrial function deteriorates, no matter how good the food you eat or what medications you take, the root cause cannot be resolved. Only when mitochondria, the engine of the body, are healthy can we solve the root cause of all diseases. So how can mitochondria be optimized? I have learned that these two practical practices are most effective for optimizing your mitochondria. Sunbathing, which is basically directly exposes the eyes and skin to sunlight, And a pure darkness at night. After learning about the effectiveness and power of sunlight and more importantly, how being with nature can solve the root cause of health, I started practicing sunbathing every day. It wasn't difficult to sunbathe through the sunlight. All you had to do was simply go outside and take off your clothes. However, I can confidently say that through this simple practice, have changed my life. First, I began to feel a noticeable improvement in my immunity and vitality. Colds and immune problems completely disappeared, chronic fatigue changed to heightened focus, and lethargy during the day transform into full of energy. Most importantly, constant injuries, which had been my biggest challenge so far, had decreased dramatically. Sunlight is closely related to athleticism, muscle repair, bone recovery, and injury, and I am a first-hand witness to these benefits. Above all, I felt a huge change in my vitality, which is essential for healthy life. Sunlight, which increases stamina, vitality, athleticism, resilience, and libido, it truly is a natural nourishing tonic. These sunlight-friendly habits were easy to implement without paying any money. But, The second essential requirement for mitochondrial optimization, was not as easy to achieve as I thought. Pure darkness means no artificial light exposure just like when we were in nature. But in our modern lifestyle, we are constantly exposed to artificial light at night through light bulbs, LED lights, computers, and cell phones. After much thought and research of "How can I realistically get the effect of dark night under these conditions?" I have learned that high-energy blue light has a more detrimental effect on mitochondrial function and depth of sleep than other colors of light.What is blue light? I was surprised to learn that artificial light exposure at night, which I had never even thought about, was having a negative impact on my sleep, recovery, circadian rhythm, and mitochondrial function every day. What is circadian rhythm? I also learned that I needed glasses that block the full wavelength of blue light at night. Why Clear Blue Light Blocking Glasses Are Inadequate Through this experience, I found and purchased cheap yellow and red blue light blocking glasses/ A tremendous change had followed. I was relieved of insomnia, began to experience deep sleep, and began to wake up feeling refreshed. My body's recovery speed and performance on the football field naturally improved, and my overall athleticism, vitality and productivity in all aspects of my life increased significantly. Improving sleep quality, which is when the biggest biological changes occur in the body, is probably the most important aspect of health that cannot be expressed in words. Through these two practical practices, I was able to resolve the root cause of the health and injury issues that had been bothering me so much. However, there was one more problem. Glasses are worn on the face, and there was no overseas product that is both externally attractive and also blocks blue light in the appropriate wavelength range. In addition, majority of the blue light blockers with transparent, I already knew that the true effect could not be seen. So, after much thought, I decided to created my own brand with my Co-CEO Lee Young-seok, who is my closest friend, whom also has deep experience in exercise and health, to establish LUCIER with the will to provide the mentioned effects to many people in Korea and all over the globe. LUCIER focus on addressing the root causes of health. We do not seek compromises when it comes to lens performance, and at the same time, we created them to add style to your day through top-notch, attractive frames. The baseline was clear. I pursued perfection in health and performance, and CEO Lee Young-seok, who has experience running a successful clothing brand and also has high standards to beauty, did not compromise on the harmony of frames, lenses and overall style. With these capabilities, we humbly pride ourselves on being the only eyewear brand in the world that can provide true health solutions while also being externally attractive. I personally love the saying that goes “Knowledge comes from books, and wisdom comes from nature.” And isn't nature here an implying the process of overcoming experience, failure, and adversity in finding answers? “It’s not that I’m so smart, it’s just that I stay with the problem longer” - Albert Einstein We as founders believe that the attitude of going in to the end, to solve a problem is the most essential virtue in life and also in entrepreneurship. Just like how I could provide you with the answer to resolve the true cause through the numerous trials and errors I have experienced, I will continuously have the attitude of digging in to the end, so that I can give you truthful solutions and value.

How melatonin makes us young and healthy
Melatonin is a natural antioxidant in our body. (Antioxidant = Substance that prevents our body from aging and being damaged by oxidation caused by active oxygen) Melatonin is produced through exposure to sunlight during the day, and secreted at night via darkness at night. (blocking blue light) This is the core of the circadian rhythm, which controls all hormonal changes that occur in our body according to the 24-hour cycle. What is circadian rhythm? This determines how deeply you can sleep and all other essential function in our body. However, exposure to artificial blue light at night suppresses melatonin causing insomnia. Melatonin production is regulated by a part of the brain called the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN). The suprachiasmatic nucleus perceives light in the eye, receives signals, and sends this information to the pineal gland. The pineal gland recognizes the difference between day and night and regulates melatonin production. When we lived in nature, white light did not exist at night. Artificially seeing light at night is like sending a signal to the brain that it is daytime. This suppresses melatonin, which should be secreted through the signal that it is night, and sends a signal that you need to be more awake. The pineal gland is a small endocrine duct located in the brain. This organ receives secretion signals from serotonin and produces melatonin. This hormone manages sleep patterns through changes in seasons and circadian rhythm. The pineal gland is also called the “third eye.” This is because the pineal gland is the only part of the brain not protected by the blood-brain barrier and, like the eye, is sensitive to changes in light and dark. This means that the production of melatonin is regulated by bright light and dark environments. 6 ways melatonin promotes health 1. Role of antioxidants Melatonin is a powerful antioxidant that helps protect cells from damage caused by free radicals. Free radicals are unstable molecules that can damage cells and contribute to aging, cancer, and other diseases. Melatonin can help reduce the risk of disease by neutralizing free radicals. 2. Anti-inflammatory effect Melatonin has been found to have anti-inflammatory effects. This means it can help reduce inflammation throughout the body. Inflammation is a contributing factor to many chronic diseases, including heart disease, diabetes, and arthritis. 3. Strengthening the immune system Melatonin promotes the production of immune cells and helps regulate immune responses. This goes a long way in reducing the risk of infections and other immune-related diseases. 4. Nerve protection effect The smooth secretion of melatonin has an excellent effect on protecting nerves. It protects the body from brain damage and helps prevent neurological disorders such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases. 5. New metabolism and healthy weight control Studies have shown that people with low melatonin levels are significantly more likely to be overweight or obese. Increasing your melatonin levels can greatly help regulate your metabolism. 6. Deep Sleep and Recovery What melatonin most directly affects is sleep. Better secretion of melatonin leads to deeper sleep. The most important thing for our body to recover is getting good sleep. Good melatonin means good sleep. important point Exposure to bright light at night has very detrimental effects on your health by disrupting melatonin secretion and disrupting sleep. The biggest problem with this is that most people don't understand how harmful artificial light is at night. Therefore, it is necessary to optimize melatonin production and secretion through the following practices: 1. Waking up with the sunrise every morning and seeing the sunrise with the naked eye is the most powerful habit for melatonin production. The infrared wavelengths of the sunrise have a direct effect on melatonin production. 2. When the sun sets at night, turn off fluorescent lights and electronic devices as much as possible. This is because exposure to white lights and bright light at night stops the secretion of melatonin. 3.You should wear night lenses at night to completely protect your body from artificial light. This is the most essential practice for melatonin secretion. To sum it up Melatonin is one of the most important hormones for maintaining your circadian rhythm, achieving deep sleep and promoting good health. Promoting melatonin production will be the most important habit to keep your body young and healthy in the long run.

Causes of Chronic Eye Fatigue
The biggest cause of chronic eye fatigue is unbalanced, high-energy artificial light from electronic devices. Artificial light from computers, smartphones, LED lights, and car lights emit irregular, high-energy sources of light. If the eyes are unprotectedly exposed to high-energy blue light and green light for a long time, it can cause numerous chronic diseases such as macular disease, decreased vision, and chronic eye fatigue. However, in modern society, most people live with artificial light, and it is virtually impossible to live without artificial light. As more and more types of electronic devices and screen devices are being invented, we need to take more measures on eye protection. Unfortunately, the transparent blue light blocking glasses sold on the market are not effective. Why transparent blue light is insufficient This is why we need LUCIER glasses.

Athlete's Essential Sleep Glasses
Injuries, slumps, and poor performance in athletes start with poor sleep. As of 2022, more than 95% of athletes are unable to get deep sleep due to using electronic devices (smartphones, computers, etc.) late at night. How do smart devices affect sleep? The rationale is simple. Our body distinguishes between day and night by light, secreting hormones that should be secreted during the day and hormones that should be secreted at night. The most obvious difference is, During the day, arousal hormone (cortisol) is secreted, At night, we secrete sleep hormone (melatonin). This hormone secretion due to shift in time and change in day and night is called circadian rhythm. What is circadian rhythm? However, if the circadian rhythm is disrupted due to artificial light late at night, the brain secretes awakening hormones that should be secreted during the day and suppresses sleep hormones. This suppresses regenerative hormones and growth hormones, inhibiting the secretion of melatonin, which is essential for recovery, and disrupts deep sleep, which, when repeated, leads to injuries and poor physical condition. However, in today's era, it is nearly impossible to live without using smartphones, TVs, and computers at night. That's why LUCIER developed sleep quality night lenses. Night lenses are designed to provide convenience for modern life while protecting your body from the harmful effects of artificial light on your health. Night lenses block 100% of the harmful artificial light wavelengths that suppress sleep hormones. Wearing night lenses 2 hours before going to bed helps to smooth the secretion of sleep hormones and growth hormones, which is very helpful in optimizing regeneration, recovery, growth, and physical condition. Erling Haaland and a lot of athletes who understand the importance of sleep and the harmful effects of artificial light wear night lenses, and the effectiveness is proven by Erling Haaland's performances. Experience deep sleep and optimal performance with LUCIER.

power of sunlight
Sunlight is the source of all things. Without sunlight, no life can exist in this world. All living things, including healthy and vibrant humans, lives with sunlight. Cats and dogs understand instinctively and biologically that they need sunlight. What is sunlight that plays the most essential role in our lives? Many people are so obsessed with calories and carbohydrates (carbohydrates, fat, protein) and vitamins/mineral intake through nutritional supplements, that they do not see the essence of health. However, sunlight provides natural nutritional benefits that cannot be obtained through consuming any other food! Sunlight can be learned and understood from many different angles, but today we will look at why we humans need it and what benefits it has. The wavelength of light that reaches the Earth from the Sun is approximately in the wavelength range of 250 nm to 3000 nm. First, visible light from sunlight appears in rainbow colors. Visible light refers to the color of light that can be seen by eyes. In addition, invisible light (invisible light) includes infrared and ultraviolet rays that have a key effect on the human body. All colors (wavelengths) affect all life through different functions and effects. Infrared (red light) Infrared light, clearly visible at sunrise and sunset, has the following effects: Helps produce EZ water Has essential effects on mitochondrial function relieves inflammation Helps produce melatonin (sleep hormone) Effective for skin regeneration Increases injury recovery speed (EZ water: Water that exists in cells and is used by millions of mitochondria, the power plants of cells. Mitochondria are cells called the engine of the human body and are essential cells that produce bioenergy (ATP). The root of all diseases begins with a decline in mitochondrial function. blue light Unlike artificial blue light from cell phones/computers, blue light from sunlight plays an essential role in our health. Correct the circadian rhythm Promotes sex hormone secretion produces dopamine Increases concentration UVA UV rays have very positive effects on the human body when received safely. lowers blood pressure produces serotonin Makes melatonin relieves pain ultraviolet ray B Makes Vitamin D prevent cancer Strengthens immunity Creates electrons Increases stamina This is a summary of only a few of the countless effects of sunlight. Artificial light lacks all of the wavelength ranges mentioned. Additionally, receiving isloated light wavelengths actually causes negative effects. In nature, everything works in a holistic way. In natural light, blue light always shines in harmony with infrared light (red light). Infrared rays always work together to ensure that the body can safely receive blue light and ultraviolet rays, which are high energy source wavelengths. However, blue light, which is the dominant wavelength of artificial light, does not harmonize with other light, but is segmented and affects the body in a negative way, which has a very harmful long-term effect on the body, as we learned in How Blue Light Affects Sleep. Not seeing sunlight, which is the full range of wavelengths of light, or rather avoiding it and insisting on living indoors, is It's like living on only processed foods. If we compare it to a cell phone, Living in artificial light means charging your phone with a broken charger that carries less current, while sunlight delivers energy to your body through a fast charger. Nothing in this world can exist without energy . Starting with animals, all living things, including food, light, cell phones, light bulbs, cars, computers, and houses, all occur through energy exchange. That's why we need to charge our phones and put gas in our cars. And the most essential energy carrier for all living things is sunlight! Healthy and energetic world-class athletes all understand the power of sunlight and maintain optimal health and condition with the rather simple practice of sunbathing. These reasonable arguments are enough to provide a clear reason why you should receive sunlight, but we looked into a more logical reason as to why you should receive sunlight, through the effects of each wavelength range mentioned above. Now is the time to go outside and see the sunshine. Start living in tune with nature, By sunbathing and LUCIER glasses!

Athletes worst nightmare
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! SHOP NOW
