London: A new study suggests that exposure to red light on the waist can help lower blood sugar levels.
According to the results of research conducted at the University of London in the United Kingdom, exposure to a specific frequency of light for 15 minutes reduced blood sugar levels by 27.7 percent after glucose consumption. At the same time, doing so reduced glucose spikes by 7.5 percent.
Experts said their research points to important long-term consequences for human health, including the negative effects of long-term exposure to blue light on blood sugar.
In modern life, LEDs play a prominent role in lighting and emit more blue light and less red light in the spectrum. This could potentially be a ‘time bomb’ for health, says the author.
According to scientists, exposure to blue light affects blood sugar levels, which can lead to diabetes and other health problems in the long run.
He added that this problem can be tackled by spending more time in sunlight.
