During the day, we mostly do not need to switch on the lights in the house because the sunlight is so bright that all our work can be done comfortably in that light. However, as soon as evening comes, everyone turns on the lights of their houses. Along with this, the street lights on the roads also start burning.

But a recent study has revealed that as the evening approaches, we should turn off or dim all the lights in our homes. Failure to do so causes huge harm to our health, especially our heart. Due to this, the risk of having heart problems increases significantly. In such a situation, let us know the reason behind this.

What does the study tell?

According to a study published in JAMA Network, keeping bright lights on in the house at night can seriously damage your heart health. Keeping the house lights on at night has a negative impact on the circadian rhythm. Circadian rhythm is important for many things including our sleep and hormone regulation. In such a situation, when the internal processes of the body get disrupted, heart health also deteriorates. Bright light affects this rhythmic process of the body and creates disturbance in it, due to which the person faces problems like psychological confusion, high BP and irregular heartbeat.

How much danger is there to the heart?

The risk of heart problems increases significantly due to exposure to bright light at night. In such a situation, exposure to bright light increases the risk of coronary artery disease by 32%, the risk of heart attack by 56% and the risk of heart stroke by 30%. The effect of night lights is so bad on our body that even after daily exercise, healthy diet and good sleep, this risk does not reduce.

How to protect?

In such a situation, to take care of your heart and keep it healthy, you should take utmost care of dimming the lights of your house after the evening and blocking the light coming from outside by drawing curtains. Apart from this, you can keep your heart fit and healthy by not using the phone at bed time. In this way your heart will remain fit and you will also remain healthy.
