How Artificial Light affects Obesity

Thomas Edison considered the father of electricity tested the first light bulb in 1879. The innovation of artificial light started the possibility of a world with a significant number of overweight patients. The artificial light allows us to keep diverse agendas then what the human body certainly wants. It permits us to snooze during the daytime and play during the evening. The human timer gets interrupted by the artificial lights. The University of Aberdeen, focuses on how the human clock struggles to stay in tune with the irregular meal, sleep and work schedules of the developed world, and how this might influence health and even cause obesity(Dr. Cathy Wyse) The human body has circadian rhythms daily that includes sleep wake cycles. The difference between circadian rhythms and the environment is called "circadian desynchrony". It is believed that with circadian desynchrony it causes a decrease in the digestion therefore leading to chubbiness and diabetes. Studies have been done on vegetation and animals that it is important for the internal clock and environmental rhythms to line up in order for them to stay healthy. It is possibility for humans as well. Diet and exercise are important to keeping the metabolism in check and therefore helping to keep the waistline in check. Staying on a regular sleep schedule, work schedule, and a good diet and exercise plan will help decrease circadian desynchrony.
