CHARGING PHONE IN BED ROOM CAN MAKE YOU FAT
A new study has revealed that charging your
phone in your bedroom could make you put on weight, as the artificial light
from phone screens, street lights, laptops or television stops the body
generating a hormone that combats obesity.
According
to the study by the University of Granada, experiments conducted on obese rats
found that increased consumption of Melatonin, which is necessary to regulate
sleep patterns and is a powerful anti-inflammatory that boosts the metabolism,
made them lose weight and also fought type two diabetes and scientists believe
it can have the same effect on humans, the Independent reported.
Professor
Ahmad Agil, who led the study, said the epidemic is primarily caused by humans'
failure to adapt to modern environments, sedentary lifestyles, higher
consumption of high-calorie processed food and excessive exposure to artificial
lightning reducing melatonin levels.
The
hormone is found in particularly high quantities in spices, herbs, tea, coffee,
fruit, nuts and seeds.
The study
was published in the Journal of Pineal Research.
