3C charging disrupts sleep, causes metabolic disorders, and may make you fat and ugly

Do you charge your phone on your bed or bedside before going to bed? Be careful, it may make you fat and ugly! Foreign studies have pointed out that 3C products emit weak blue light when charging, which will affect the secretion of melatonin in the human body, and may disrupt the normal functioning of the body's metabolic mechanism at night, causing people to not get a good "beauty sleep" but instead get a "fat sleep".

3C products emit a faint blue light when charging, which may disrupt the normal functioning of the body's metabolic mechanism at night, causing people to not get a good "beauty sleep" but instead get "fat sleep".

According to a report on the British Daily Mail website, a study by the University of Granada in Spain found that 3C products emit weak blue light when charging, which in turn affects the normal secretion of melatonin in the human body. Melatonin is a hormone secreted by the brain. Its secretion is regulated by light and darkness. It is secreted at night and stops when it receives light during the day. It is a major factor in controlling the body's wakefulness and sleep cycles.

3C blue light affects melatonin secretion

The research team pointed out that through experiments, melatonin was injected into mice and found to be effective in helping them lose weight and improving symptoms such as diabetes. However, the secretion of melatonin is very sensitive. If it is not in a completely dark environment, even a little light will affect it. Although the dim light from 3C products is not as strong as sunlight, it can still disrupt the body's interpretation of light signals in the environment, affecting the body's wakefulness and sleep time, preventing melatonin from being secreted normally during sleep, leading to incomplete metabolism at night and gradual obesity.

Dr. Simon Kyle, who specializes in sleep research at the University of Manchester in the United States, also pointed out that many people now have sleep disorders. In fact, 3C blue light is one of the culprits, because blue light will stimulate the brain and prevent it from completely resting. It is recommended that if you want to achieve truly high-quality sleep, you should turn off your smartphone, tablet or desktop computer one to two hours before going to bed to reduce exposure to the dangers of blue light and electromagnetic waves.

The blue light emitted by 3C may damage retinal cells and increase the risk of macular degeneration.

In addition, he reiterated that if you want to lose weight through sleep, it is best to sleep in a completely dark environment, which will help the body's metabolism and detoxification functions function normally.

In addition, there are other health risks to be aware of when using 3C products:

【3C usage tips】:

1. The blue light emitted by 3C may damage retinal cells and increase the risk of macular degeneration. In addition, the surge in myopia coupled with the strong impact of radiation heat energy may also irritate the lens of the eye and cause cataracts. Adequate lighting is the key to protecting your eyes. When using 3C products, you should pay more attention to the surrounding light sources and the light on the screen. The surrounding light should be sufficient, the screen light source should be moderate but not too bright, and reflections should be avoided to avoid discomfort to the eyes.

2. According to the Taiwan Electromagnetic Radiation Pollution Prevention Association, after testing multiple mobile phones, the electromagnetic waves generated by chatting on 3C products using communication software are as high as 50,000 to 60,000 times higher than when not in use. In the long run, this may cause symptoms such as headaches, tinnitus, and insomnia. The Association urges students to use it less or download it to a computer for operation.
