Side effect of smartphone-laptop

 We are all surrounded by technology gadgets day and night. Smartphones, smartwatches, laptops, TVs etc. have become a part of our everyday life. We know that these devices harm our eyes, but these things cause even more harm. According to a new research by Oregon State University in the US, the blue light emitted from these gadgets can make us age faster.

research on flies

Flies were included in this research. Some of these were exposed to blue light for two weeks. Scientists found that this light activates genes associated with stress in flies. Flies that were not exposed to blue light and kept in complete darkness lived longer.

Along with this, the metabolites of flies of both the groups were also compared. Metabolites are substances that are made or used in an organism's body when the body is breaking down drugs, food, or chemicals. According to the study, blue light has a significant effect on these metabolites.

Blue light prolongs life

Researchers said that due to blue light, the cells of flies die quickly. That is, the speed of their aging accelerates. Scientists think that blue light has a similar effect in humans as well. Their cells also start dying prematurely, due to which they start aging quickly. However, at present more research is needed on this topic. Further research will focus on human cells.
