Scientists have named an unexpected way to reduce the risk of developing diabetes: here's what you need to do before bed
During the course of the study, scientists identified one factor that reduces the risk of developing type 2 diabetes.
Australian scientists shared their findings.
Experts have proven that disruption of circadian rhythms negatively affects insulin secretion and glucose metabolism, writes the journal The Lancet Regional Health – Europe .
Many factors can disrupt them. A person's sleeping conditions deserve special attention.
Reducing exposure to light at night and keeping your surroundings dark can reduce your risk of developing diabetes, scientists say. It's a simple, cheap and accessible way to prevent diabetes.
The effectiveness was proven in a study involving about 85 thousand people. It lasted for 9 years.
The experiment found that exposure to light between 00:30 and 06:00 can cause a higher risk of developing diabetes.
Therefore, before going to bed, you need to make sure that no light sources will interrupt your sleep or disrupt your circadian rhythms.
