Circadian Mismatch: When Your Body's Timing Goes Haywire

Circadian disruption, akin to chaos in Amazon's shipping operations, can wreak havoc on our body's internal timing. This misalignment, often caused by excessive exposure to artificial blue light, particularly at night, has been linked to numerous health issues. Research indicates that circadian mismatch can increase the risk of cancer, Type II diabetes, and neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's. The body's internal clock, entrained by natural sunlight, can experience "circadian drift" when deprived of proper light cues, leading to molecular chaos and inflammation. Notably, obesity has been directly associated with brain inflammation, exacerbated by indoor living and constant artificial light exposure. To mitigate these risks, it's crucial to prioritize natural light exposure, especially in the morning, and limit artificial blue light in the evening.
