You know, here you are, you give up sugar

and you’re doing all the right things but

you’re still craving carbs

late at night. What’s up with that?

Well I stumbled on a research paper that

is very interesting because

sweet cravings could come from

something other than your diet.

And I’ve done a lot of videos on this, but I have never

made the link between

your cell phone, specifically

the blue light from your cell phone,

but not just the smartphone, you have

the tablet, your computer,

tv, anything that emits

blue light. So, blue light

apparently goes into the retina

of your eye, which is an extension of your brain,

goes into the brain, into the

hypothalamus and

starts to affect your circadian

rhythms. The

pineal gland, which then

interacts with your adrenal gland and the

liver and many other

organs. So, what is the relationship

between blue light and your

blood sugars? Well,

it’s two things. One, It interferes

with melatonin, number one,

and number two, it spikes

cortisol, which then

affects your blood sugars, due to

stress. So, both of these actions

can actually release more sugar and

cause your body to make more sugar, even though you’re

not eating sugar. And so, the

sugar comes up, insulin comes in

after, pushes the blood sugar down,

you end up with low blood sugars late

at night, after about an hour

being exposed to this blue light. So, if you’ve given

up sugar and you’re doing all the right

things, try

this. You can get an app on

your computer to filter out this blue light.

You can actually wear glasses that filter out the

blue light because it’s the exposure

to the retina or you can do what

I do. About two hours before I go to

bed, I’m not exposed to any blue lights

at all or you can use a red light,

which does not affect your melatonin,

your sleep cycles, your circadian

rhythm, cortisol or

anything. It’s the blue light. So,

give it a try and see if your cravings don’t disappear.
