Morning light is definitely helpful. We work outside in the Florida bright sun everyday so I try to be mindful of how much is enough. I think Dr. Peat’s suggested solar radiation can damage the eyes, especially for people suffering from slow metabolism.
I saw this quote from his article Cataracts: water, energy, light, and aging
https://raypeat2.com/articles/articles/cataracts-water-energy-light-aging.shtml
“Ultraviolet light powerfully stimulates the formation of nitric oxide (Chaudhry, et al., 1993), and is one of the known causes of cataracts. Since the cornea is more directly exposed than the lens to the ultraviolet rays of sunlight, the effects of injury can be seen more quickly. Exposure of the cornea to ultraviolet light causes swelling, reduced transparency, and the formation of nitric oxide, which enters the aqueous humor (Cejka, et al., 2012; Cejkova, et al., 2005). Swelling in itself, regardless of the cause, decreases the transparency of the cornea (Stevenson, et al., 1983); anything interfering with its energy metabolism causes swelling. ”
I look forward to reading more about “electroosmotic flow of water” because that seems to be a significant aspect of how cells operate.
