But note that high rates of cancer, the recent discovery must be kept in night workers, does not prove that the work at night, alone, will receive a diagnosis of cancer.
ItIt is estimated that about 20 percent of the workforce in technologically developed countries in the night shift. One of the first, which has been on night shift-cancer connection, Richard Stevens, cancer epidemiologist and professor at the University of Connecticut Health Center suggests. In 1987 he published a document that could be aa direct correlation to the light and during night and breast cancer.
Stevens says, "suspected of being shot, the incidence rates of breast cancer,since 1930, when industrialized cultures as it is advantageous to gradually increase their income. "
At the time of the first comments from Steven, the majority of scientists in medical research, how the link between light at night increases the rates of breast cancer to be rather bizarre and wacky. "But in the last 20 years, ongoing research on this alarming news to continue. There is strong evidence that he remembers that people who work the night shift may alsoan increased risk of developing prostate cancer.
And 'interesting to note also that in laboratory studies with experimental animals, evidence of the theory of light in the night, Steven original idea. If the cut-off lists were deliberately destroyed, the animals developed tumors, and many others have died too soon.

The pineal gland is located deep in the center of the brain, behind the center of the forehead between the eyes, and is regarded as a reaction to the sun have. It is believed that in light of the sun through the eyes for about 20 minutes a day without contacts, glasses, sunglasses or seems to play an important role in the release of melatonin.

Long-term supplementation with melatonin is not recommended either, as appropriate, with the body's ability to affect him for his production. Instead, use a reliable precursor of melatonin, such as L-tryptophan or 5-Hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP). It must be said that L-tryptophan is available only by prescription, butDo not be intimidated because it is only a single amino acid.
