Weather of Arabia - Frontiers in Aging magazine reported that blue light resulting from the screens of electronic devices, such as smartphones, tablets, and laptops, may cause harm to the skin and accelerate its aging process. The study explained that blue light belongs to the category of visible light, but it is characterized by a greater energy than... Ordinary visible light.
A study conducted on fruit flies revealed that excessive exposure to blue light resulting from devices such as smartphones, computers, and tablets may accelerate the aging process of the body. Previously, studies have linked excessive screen use to health disorders such as obesity and psychological problems.
The study, published in the journal Frontiers in Aging , suggests that avoiding excessive exposure to blue light may be a good anti-aging strategy. In previous research, a study on fruit flies showed that exposure to light turns on stress-protective genes, and that fruit flies that were kept in the dark Lived longer, as the researchers said they compared the levels of metabolites in flies exposed to blue light for two weeks to those exposed to darkness, as exposure to blue light showed significant effects on the levels of metabolites in the flies' cells.
Dr. Geboltovich, one of the researchers, emphasized that understanding why high-energy blue light accelerates aging in fruit flies was a major goal of the study. The study shows that levels of the succinate metabolite increased significantly after exposure to blue light, while levels of glutamate, the molecules responsible for communication between... Neurons, visible after exposure to blue light.
These discoveries raise concerns about the effect of blue light on aging processes and cellular health, and the study indicates the importance of avoiding excessive exposure to this type of light to combat premature aging processes.
