Smartphones can cause wrinkles

Smartphones can cause wrinkles
Scientists from the University of Oregon have found that the habit of staring at a smartphone screen for a long time can provoke the appearance of age-related wrinkles. This is due to the characteristic blue light of the screen, which accelerates the aging process.

A significant number of the inhabitants of our planet spend hours looking at the screens of smartphones and tablets, being exposed to a specific blue light. A scientific study has suggested that this habit leads to the early appearance of wrinkles. When fruit flies were exposed to bright blue light for 14 days, they showed signs of impaired cellular function and neurodegeneration or aging.

The leaders of the study warn that blue light can have harmful effects on a wide range of cells in our body. And avoiding exposure to this light will help keep youthfulness longer.

Previous studies have already shown that excess screen time increases the risk of obesity and mental health problems. There is also concern that blue light strains our eyes, which reduces visual acuity, leads to macular degeneration and cataracts. Finally, smartphones seriously disrupt circadian rhythms, which affects the quality of sleep. Fortunately, many devices already have built-in control systems to reduce the amount of blue light emitted. (READ MORE) University of Oregon
