☀️ 1. Your eyes run your body clock. Tucked into your retina are specials cells called ipRGCs. Their ONLY job is sending light and reporting straight to your brains master clock. This is the system deciding when your feel alert, sleepy, when your hormones shift etc. block that light with sunglasses and your body starts to loose track of time… ☀️ 2. Morning light sets your hormones for the day. Getting sun/natural light in your eyes within the first hour of waking triggers your natural cortisol rise (good kind) The hormone that makes your feel alert and switched on! It also sets the internal timer for for when melatonin gets released at night…which makes you actually feel tired. Not getting morning light can affect your day dramatically. ☀️3. Your eyes loose their ability to adjust. Your pupils and retina have a built in adaptation system, designed to handle full range of light - bright sun, shade dusk. The system works July gettinf regular practice across different light levels. Wearing sunglasses skips this practice and eyes become more sensitive to light. #healthtips #healthswaps #healthyliving #lowtoxliving #lowtoxlifestyle
