The study found that too much screen use has been linked to accelerated aging, but also obesity and psychological problems.
A new study says that aging may be accelerated with excessive time in front of, and looking at, the many screens we use for our computers and devices daily.
Dr Jadwiga Giebultowicz, a professor at the Department of Integrative Biology at Oregon State University and senior author of the study, wrote, “Excessive exposure to blue light from everyday devices, such as TVs, laptops, and phones, may have detrimental effects on a wide range of cells in our body, from skin and fat cells, to sensory neurons.“
Researchers showed that fruit flies exposed to the light activate or"turn on" genes that protect against stress. Those that were in darkness lived longer. Giebultowicz said, “Succinate is essential for producing the fuel for the function and growth of each cell. High levels of succinate after exposure to blue light can be compared to gas being in the pump but not getting into the car."
