Anti-Cancer Effects of Fasting

The American Cancer Society states that fasting or calorie restriction is not used to treat cancer.   A 2014 systematic review of fifty-nine studies on animals found that 91% showed caloric restriction to play an anti-cancer role during intiation, progression and metastasis of cancer.</description>

Reduction of Blue Light at Night

The circadian rhythm can be influenced by the spectrum of light incident on the retina.  By mimicking the hues of light present as the sun's angle with the earth changes, a more natural lighting can be achieved.  The most pronounced effect is from the reduced blue light in the evenings.
