Does wearing sunglasses inhibits the production of Melanin?
That's a common theory you encounter on certain circles of the net...I'd love to know your thoughts on that. And on the same theme - Could regular prescription glasses (without the sunglass shade) protect your eyes enough if these regular lenses have a UVA+UVB protection?
Food Allergies: why are these so prevalent vs thirty years ago?
As a professional who has worked in the food industry for over 25 years, I have never ever seen so many people with allergies before in my life. Even as a kid I knew maybe one person with a food allergy. But now it feels terribly rampant. Or is it just that food allergies have gotten more attention over the years? Have there always been so many celiacs? Will we eventually see an uptick in corn allergies since so many animals are eating corn diets (presumably gmo corn no less)? Is it as simple as how food is processed nowadays compared to years ago? I recall reading a news article once about how kids who grew up in the countryside had hardly any seasonal allergies compared to kids who grew up in urban areas and became allergic to everything. Something about how the immune response develops with exposure to allergens. Does it work the same way with foods? Thank you!
Advice for evening shift workers & awakeness enthusiasts
I work from 4pm to 1am and often struggle to feel tired enough to sleep soon after my shift. Could you provide specific advice and protocols for those with similar schedules? Additionally, any tips for managing post-work mental engagement with life's facets and fascinations, and becoming more willing and able to shut down and fall asleep, would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
