News India Live, Digital Desk: In today’s time, most of us spend our days in office rooms or between closed walls. Due to the blue light of computer all day and mobile screen at night, perhaps we have forgotten how important the fresh sunlight outside is for our body. For people suffering from diseases like diabetes, a recent study has revealed information that can play a big role in improving their health without any expense.
The sunlight coming from the window is no less than medicine!
Latest research on diabetes says that if you are a type-2 diabetic patient, then ‘natural light’ can have an amazing effect in managing your blood sugar level. Scientists have found that when our body is exposed to natural light, our ‘biological clock’ (circadian rhythm) starts working properly. This is the body clock that determines our appetite, sleep and most importantly, the speed of our metabolism.
How does it work?
It may sound a bit strange, but our cells are very sensitive to light. Getting plenty of sunlight during the day increases the ability to produce insulin and use it properly. People who spend a lot of time in the day in natural light have more balanced sugar levels in the morning than those who spend the whole day in darkness or artificial light.
Not only sunlight of day, darkness of night is also important
Another aspect of this study is even more interesting. Researchers say that the more natural light is necessary during the day, the more intense darkness is necessary at night. Blue light emitted from gadgets at night can spoil our sugar metabolism. This simply means that living in harmony with nature has now become not just an advice but a major need for diabetes management.
What can you do?
You don’t need to make huge changes to control sugar, just keep these little things in mind:
- Make a habit of morning walk: The first sunlight in the morning will not only provide Vitamin-D but will also help in controlling sugar.
- Choose the right desk: If you work from home or office, try to have your desk near a window.
- Remove the curtains: Keep the curtains of the room open during the day so that fresh light can come into the house.
