Radiation inside home?

How? The pandemic is something that has taken each of us by surprise, and of course the changes that have had to be made to protect ourselves from the virus is “staying home.” This implies that most people have had to make drastic changes with respect to their jobs and their lives, for example, it has been recommended that in order to combat this virus we must be more physically active and eat a good diet, specialists on the subject, have stated tha this is the only way to stay safe, in addition to being ultra hygienic.

We know that these changes have affected people more than expected. The new “home office” has been imposed, this means that many people have had to work from home, from teachers, secretaries, journalists, wholesalers, etc. What does this imply? that many people now spend more time in front of a computer, cell phone or TV screens. And what with that? Well, that “blue light” also creates skin damage. Yes, even if you are protected from sunlight, blue light also causes damage to your skin.


Here I will explain it better to you …

Blue light or High Energy Visible light (HEV light) emitted by electronic screens affects skin cells in a dose-dependent manner, through mechanisms comparable to those of UV rays. This was not something significant before, but now it is, since many must spend more time than usual in front of this type of light.What harmful effects does blue light cause on the skin? It is called “digital aging” because it damages skin cells in three ways:

● Oxidative damage. Blue light stimulates the formation of free radicals, which are one of the main causes of aging.

● Melanogenesis.
This means that it causes an excess production of melanin, bone pigment of the skin, which produces spots and hyperpigmentation.

● Collagen and elastin deficiency. Blue light activates matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) which are enzymes that damage structural proteins in the skin.

● Skin cancer.

They seem to be the same damage that UV rays cause, right? Unfortunately, there is no acceptable amount of time to avoid causing skin damage. While you are in front of your cell phone, computer or television you will be receiving this damage as if you were exposed to the sun. In a study carried out, it has been found that in one hour in front of the monitor it causes cell death and the formation of free radicals.
