Ladies did you know that leaving lights on at night could increase your risk of getting breast cancer? Studies show that women who work nightshift or who are exposed to large amount of nightlite stand a greater risk of getting breastcancer.
There is this hypothesis; that night light interferes with the brain's production of melatonin, a hormone that supresses turmor from developing. Generally, the body secrets melatonin at night.......the level produced drops dramatically in the presence of light, especially lights from computer screen and fluorescence bulb.
Yep..... being a scientist myself, I can see the correlation :).
So, please ladies, take care of yourselves and be health conscious.
- Turn off your computers at night.
- Don't sleep with the lights on.
- Don't be afraid to sleep in the dark....> The angels are always watching over you :)
- Be careful about working nightshifts.... more pay, could mean more cancer. If you have to, then ask for rotations.
I'll get y'all updated as I get in the know*
Knowledge... ......they say; is power.
