We've always kind of been touching the earth, but we're more separated from it now. And there seems to be benefits. I don't think it needs to be something that people obsess over, but just go take, you know, I think even in the winter, it's okay to take your shoes off and just go stand in the grass for a couple minutes. It's good to be outside in general.

And this is something we were talking about with the jungle. So I've been thinking a lot about light recently. So I think a lot about food and nutrients, but I also think a lot, I've been thinking a lot about light and light is in a lot of ways a nutrient. And so in order to be in the podcast studio and to get the lights to look good, we're using artificial lights.

This is obviously not outdoors in the sun, So the light, the spectrum of wavelengths of light that we're getting in here is not what we would get outside. There's no infrared light indoors. And there's also no ultraviolet indoors, which is something we can talk about as well. And this light that we're using indoors is enriched in blue, which is around 400 nanometers, 410, something like that.

So it's an artificial type light indoors. And so I'm not sure that it's good for humans to spend all of our time in fake, or I should say, sort of partially limited indoor lighting, right? And this, again, I'm not trying to make it impossible for anyone to live their life. What I am trying to highlight is the idea that it's very valuable to be outside for even part of the day.

So we were talking on the break of the podcast for a minute, and I said to one of the guys, like, let's just go step outside for a minute. It just feels good to be outdoors for me in the sunlight. And it's winter in Nashville, so there's no ultraviolet right now because the sun isn't very high. but there's infrared and there's a full spectrum of wavelengths that are visible.

And so that's interesting because the infrared light specifically is valuable for humans at the level of the mitochondria. And I didn't know this till recently, but there's actual data and published studies to show that infrared wavelengths, whether it's 800 nanometers on up, it's a very large amount of infrared in the spectrum, they allow our mitochondria in the whole body to produce melatonin.

And that melatonin gets used as a systemic antioxidant in our body. We traditionally think about melatonin in the brain and the pineal gland through the eyes and the suprachiasmatic nucleus as part of the brain that in conjunction with the paraventricular nucleus and the superior cervical ganglion are connected with our circadian rhythm.

This is why you hear people say, don't look at blue lights, don't have your phone on at night because essentially, partially my body thinks it's the middle of the day here under these blue lights, which is okay for the most part, because it is still the middle of the day, right? It's not nine o'clock at night.
