Scientists at the University of Oregon have discovered that blue light from a smartphone or tablet screen can accelerate the aging of a living organism. This statement is based on experiments performed on fruit flies.
They were placed under bright blue light for 14 days, as a result, the insects showed signs of impaired cellular functions and neurodegeneration, that is, they age rapidly. Scientists have said that blue light can have a harmful effect on various cells in the body. In particular, it can cause early wrinkles.
Other studies have shown that over-reliance on gadgets can lead to problems with obesity, mental health and other ailments. It is also suggested that blue light puts too much strain on the eyes, reduces vision and may lead to cataracts.
