Daylight Savings WRECKING Your Health? [SHOCKING]

There are a lot of things I love about living in Arizona.
And right up there at the top of the list is the fact that we DON’T follow Daylight Savings Time.
Daylight Savings Time was enacted in 1966 as a way to conserve energy.
It was never meant to be permanent.
Yet here we are, 55 years later and we’re still messing with nature.
But here’s the problem:
What might have been good for the environment (this part is debatable) is NOT good for your health (this part is NOT debatable).
And now studies are pouring in, showing just how dangerous it can be…
See, your body has a central clock in your brain, called the suprachiasmatic nucleus. It responds to light entering your eyes, and then helps your body keep time with the earth.
From there your circadian rhythm regulates hormones, metabolism, and immune function. It even has a hand in inflammation.
But throwing off your master clock can throw off all of the tiny clocks in all of your organs and tissues.
And science is revealing that messing with these clocks—caused by things like staying up too late at night, jet lag, not following a daily pattern, or say, Daylight Savings Time—can be DEVASTATING for your health.
In fact, the time change can have both immediate and long-term consequences.
Incredibly enough, in the days following the time change, there is a measurable increase in heart attacks, strokes, suicide, and fatal car crashes.
In fact, two studies have shown that hospitals see a 24 percent increase in heart attack victims the Monday after the clocks change.
BOTH of these studies also showed that there was a 21 percent DROP in heart attacks after returning to the standard time in the fall!
In the long-term, circadian disruption has been associated with an increased risk of heart problems, cancer, metabolic syndrome, immune dysfunction, mood disorders, learning deficits, reproductive problems, and even premature death.
Besides the hit Daylight Savings Time takes on your health, the reason for implementing it (to conserve energy) doesn’t stand up to scrutiny.
Studies have shown that the time change fails to conserve electricity—and in some cases, they’ve found an increase in energy consumption.
Since you can’t change Daylight Savings Time, these health risks highlight the importance of following your body’s circadian rhythm as closely as possible until clocks get turned back in November.
You can do that by getting plenty of morning sunlight in your eyes and limiting blue light at night.

There are two words that send shivers down everyone’s spine: Alzheimer’s disease. It’s a condition that’s characterized by a buildup of toxic beta-amyloid plaques in your brain. They interfere with the communication between neurons in your brain, and they lead to the death of neurons. It’s a devastating double-whammy. But a recent study published in the Journal of Alzheimer’s Disease found that nature’s “green secret” could be...

COVID-19 is finally on the decline — and it’s about time. As we speak, mask-wearing mandates are being lifted in many states. But that doesn’t mean you’re in the clear.

Dr. G’s Top 6 Supplements to FIGHT Aging
Let’s face it, we all know people who “look great for their age.” Well, here’s a crazy idea: What if we took our biological age and threw it out the window.

Are You Being Overtreated for CANCER? [The Ugly Truth]
Make no mistake about it: Medicine is big business. I wish most doctors and medical organizations made decisions based on the patient’s best interests — as opposed to the bottom line… But too often that’s not the case. What does that mean for you? It means you could be counseled to get a procedure or a surgery that you DON’T need. Because let’s face it, mainstream...
[Study] 4 Supplements Linked to LowerCOVID-19 Risk?
When it comes to COVID-19, you should be doing whatever it takes to lower your risk — especially if you’re an older adult. According to the CDC, 8 out of 10 COVID-19 deaths have been in people over 65. And, compared to people 5-17 years old, the rate of death in folks from 65-74 is 1300 TIMES HIGHER. That’s not a typo. But whatever your age, you can do...
There’s no doubt that what you eat impacts your physical health. But food’s impact on your mental and emotional wellbeing is just as powerful. There are plenty of reasons for this connection. A big one is because your gut contains neurons, and serotonin (the neurotransmitter that’s involved in depression and anxiety) is particularly abundant in your gut. Personally, I find that fascinating. Plus,...

Because a recent study found out that these hidden dangers of pre-diabetes could be just as deadly as diabetes itself. Prediabetes is considered...
