Nearly three years ago, I stopped wearing sunglasses all the time.
On the farm, with Jack my Boerwindhond running around, they were more in the way than helpful and I learned they can actually block beneficial sunlight.
Natural light through our eyes helps
-regulate hormones,
-supports sleep,
-boosts mood,
-focus,
-alertness,
and even aids melanin production to protect our skin.
Now, I enjoy the sun safely and use sunglasses only when truly needed, like on reflective water or snow.
What say you?
