Lighting in an apartment is more than just a light bulb that illuminates dark areas and corners.
With the help of light you can change your mood, atmosphere and even ruin your health.
At the same time, many people do not listen at all to the advice of experts and representatives of the scientific community.
Yulia Tychino, an expert of the online publication "BelNovosti" in the field of design and interior, told how light can ruin an interior.
Light regime is of great importance for human health. Its deficiency and excess are equally harmful.
What's the problem?
It is no secret that a person is driven by his circadian rhythm or biological clock.
They can be influenced not only by habits and lifestyle, but even by basic lighting in the apartment.
Bright light in the evening or at night can trigger the development of obesity and cause cardiovascular diseases.
Research
Research conducted in the Netherlands has found that improper lighting can disrupt natural biological processes.
Volunteers aged 40 to 75 were asked to spend two days in a special room.
During the day they had bright lights on, and in the evening (from 8 am to 6 pm) they had dim lights.
There was also an option when the light was dim during the day and bright in the evening.
During this time, the experiment participants ate three times a day.
What we managed to find out
It turned out that the subjects' health was better when the light was bright during the day and dim in the evening.
Scientists noted increased energy expenditure after eating and a high metabolic rate.
In dim daylight and bright evening light, the volunteers' condition was significantly worse.
Earlier we talked about the dangers of using too much wood in interior upholstery.
