Loss of #sleep, even something as trivial as 1hr, seems to have important repercussions on our #health.
What happens to heart attacks when people lose or gain an hour with Daylight Savings Time?
-Lose an hour 24% increase
-Gain an hour 21% reduction

It is known that different wavelengths of light affect the release of melatonin and can have deleterious effects on quality of #sleep. Exposure to light at night, which can come from our electronic devices or house lights can shift the phase for melatonin rise or even resetting the time of our internal circadian clock.
Studies show that #bluelight has the greatest effect on phase shifting of our circadian clock and suppression of melatonin and that is what got me interested in bluelight blocking glasses. The spectral distribution at which melatonin is held peaks at 464nm. To avoid this effect we can either shut down all electronics or we can choose to use bluelight blocking glasses.
So far I have tried yellow and orange blue light blocking glasses. The yellow ones appear to be more for the day, trying to avoid eyes getting tired from being in front of the computer the whole day so they did not do much for my sleep.
The orange ones I have work well and I have been using them at night. They claim to block 100% of light from 280 - 490nm and 99.82% of light in the critical 450 - 510nm range. I have felt a difference no doubt and been trying to optimize my sleep anyway I can.
I recently got the @Carbonshade glasses. Will be giving them a try and giving an honest review.
Disclosure:
Carbonshade contacted me recently and they asked me if I would want to try their glasses and possibly give a review. I obviously agreed.
One of the things that grabbed my attention is that they were tested by Michael Herf, who developed an app that I use in my mac called f.lux. F.lux changes the settings in your computer and reduces the amount of blue light emitted by your screen, acting as a blue light filter.
Well, Michael tested the glasses and shows that they block 99.9% of melanopic lux (up to 570nm) which covers all blue + green. So you can consider this an extra level of protection. So I am definitely curious. I will be testing them for 1 - 2 weeks and give an update.
First impressions:
Appearance:
They are awesome, great looking and without a doubt GREAT quality. Better than any of the other 3 I possess.
Sleep Quality: Update in a Week
Think You are getting enough sleep? Hmm think again.
After 10 days of just 7hrs of sleep, the brain is as DYSFUNCTIONAL as it would be after going without sleep for 24hrs.
3 full nights of recover sleep are insufficient to restore performance back to normal levels after a week of short sleeping.
Having said that. Makes you wonder if your doctor getting enough sleep?🧐 #Lifestyle #sleephygiene #sleep #insomnia #MedHacker
Book "Why We Sleep" by M. Walker
Una de las observaciones que les comento a muchos de mis pacientes es que la salud del Ranchero es directamente proporcional a la distancia del Rancho de la Ciudad.
Es decir, entre más lejos el Rancho de la ciudad más saludable el Ranchero.
Todos hemos visto al Ranchero de 90 años, "fresco como una lechuga", cortando leña sin problemas. Pero entre mas se acercan a la ciudad, se está deshaciendo desde los 30-40 años... Los que viven más lejos generalmente son aquellos que viven de la tierra, que viven de lo que la madre naturaleza les da. Tienen acceso limitado a gansitos, coca o sodas, maruchan, papitas, mugrero empaquetado.
En otras palabra coman como RANCHERO
- Mas Verduras (En especial todas las verdes)
- Pollo, Pescado, Carne, Hígado, Huevos, etc
- No se tomen sus calorías cómanse las calorías. NADA de jugo de fruta. Y si quieren perder peso enfóquense más en verduras y reduzcan su consumo de frutas. El jugo de fruta por sí solo puede causar HIGADO GRASO. Así es... Comento esto en otro post.
- Apliquen el ayuno intermitente. En otras palabras traten de comer en una ventana de 8 horas. Una ventana muy común es comer entre 12-8pm.

#Keto #LowCarb The success of the #wayofeating is focusing on #realfood.
This is getting affected by new #lowcarb options that are getting ready to hijack your "Reward/Pleasure Center"
