Let there be light

So light is perhaps the most powerful stimulus for our mental, physical health and for our performance in every endeavor. We often miss this point because the effects of light are what we call slow and integrative. If you look at a particular color of light, it’s not that suddenly you’re going to be endowed with superpowers. If you don’t view light for half a day or for a day you’re okay. But what light does is it sets the foundation of our abilities and it does that indirectly, and directly. It does it indirectly by controlling when we are asleep and when we are alert and it also has direct effects on the way that our nervous system functions.
