Thanks to research at Northwestern University, we now know that your environment plays a major role in your metabolism and your risk for diabetes.

The scientists found that bright light exposure, like the light from your smartphone or your iPad, increases insulin resistance compared to dim light exposure in both the morning and the evening.

And in the evening, bright light also causes higher peak glucose (blood sugar) levels.

This means that if you are a regular device user, especially at mealtimes or in the evening, you could be setting yourself up for blood sugar problems and weight gain.
