Is blue light making you fat? 📲

In a clinical study, after 1 month of wearing blueblocker eyeglasses, there were improvements in fasting plasma glucose levels, insulin resistance, and sleep quality. The results suggest that suppression of blue light at night effectively maintains circadian rhythms and metabolism. Additionally, blue light devices are very harsh on our eyes and bodies and create a stress response in the user. This stress response raises cortisol levels. Cortisol is a hormone that is triggered by stress and can lead to fat storage and weight gain amongst other health issues.

These new and improved blue light blockers have specially crafted lenses that filter out 99% of blue light, which often comes from digital screens such as computers or smartphones. The lenses can protect your eyes from glare and help reduce potential damage to your retina, as well as help regulate your sleeping patterns.

Blue light exposure is linked to blurry vision, eyestrain, dry eye, cataracts, headaches and in extreme circumstances even permanent vision loss. Wearing blue light blockers can not only prevent this from happening but also increase your sleep quality.

When blue light hits your eyes, it sends a message to your brain that it’s time to be awake and alert. This most likely came from our ancestors that did not have any unnatural light, only sunlight. So as the sun rose in the morning, their body naturally woke up, and as it set again in the evening, their body naturally slept. Unfortunately, one of the downsides of modern technology is that you have artificial light shining onto you right up until you go to sleep, which messes with your sleep patterns and means your sleep quality is reduced. To combat this, you can wear blue light-blocking glasses.

Melatonin is the hormone that your body produces to help you sleep. Blue light-blocking glasses increase the body’s natural melatonin production by 58%.

Blue Light Blockers are useful for anyone that spends any time looking at a screen. These Do Not Age Blue Light Blockers contain the CE mark meaning they conform with the strictest of product safety directives, and they come with the inimitable Do Not Age Quality Guarantee so you know you’re safe.

How to Break a Water Fast

As always there's quite a bit of conflicting information out there about how to break a fast. One thing everyone agrees on is that the fast needs to broken slowly and gently. You also need several days to go back to eating normally. For example, if you do a 7 day fast, you need about 3 days of refeeding. On a 10 day fast, you'll need 4-5 days and so on. How you break the fast will make or break the whole experience. If you go right back to your old way of eating, you can easily negate all the benefits of your fast. One school of thought insists on breaking the fast with fruit, more specifically watermelon and then lots of veggies and more fruit. Since my goal is to remain in ketosis, I will be taking a different approach. I will be eating protein, fat and some low-carb veggies, bone broth and lots of water. I would also recommend abstaining from alcohol for at least a few days so you're not overburdening your liver. Listen to your body. Don't force the food if yo...

8-day Water and Dry Fast Combo

As I'm coming to the end of my 8-day journey I wanted to recap some of my experiences with you. I found the water and dry fast combo much more manageable and comfortable to do. I did not really have an off day, which is quite common during a longer fast. My sleep was not very good, which can happen during fasting but I was never tired during the next day. I woke up refreshed even at 5 am. I did feel weak or light headed a few times but sucking on pink salt crystals fixed that problem very quickly, like always. I never forced the water, I just drank when I was thirsty so I probably drank less water than during previous fasts. The weight loss started off very strong. Almost 4 kilos during the first 4 days but then it stopped and even crept up a little. I found that a bit frustrating but I don't really have that much weight to lose so I'm trusting that my body knows what it's doing. I did have my period during the fast so that might also contribute to this. The ble...

4 Months Later - Fasting - Carnivore - OMAD

I know it's been a while since I've done an update. So here we are at the beginning of September already. Things are progressing really nicely. So much better than I ever imagined. I've slowly transitioned to a mostly Carnivore diet , consisting or meat, eggs and dairy with very little veggies and no fruit. I've continued fasting on a regular basis. Basically having just one meal a day on most days (OMAD) and then still doing regular water fasts as I feel the need. My weight continued to decrease slowly but very steadily. I wasn't expecting this at all. I would have been very happy just maintaining my weight under 70kg and here I am at 62kg. How cool is that? Yeah, I'm sure excited. Here's my latest before and after pic. Hopefully you guys can see the difference. I can tell you that I feel so amazing! I've had to buy a whole new wardrobe. I know, the horror, eh? I've stopped taking all my supplements. My eczema is a thing of the past. My Has...
