You need to start thinking about light the same way you think about food.
Standard LED bulbs = Junk: like your typical McDonalds.
Sunlight = The best: like fully organic, raw/pasture raised.
Blue light = Sugar: we are getting way too much.
Flicker = Seed oils: we should not be exposed to this.

Your gut holds the key to your aging.
Whether it speeds it up or slows it down all comes down to the environment you create in it.
In an imbalanced state of dysbiosis it accelerates inflammaging, through a decreased production of anti-inflammatory SCFA’s and deteriorating gut barrier integrity.
