Sunshine as a heart attack treatment? We’re all for any science that recommends outside time, but this sounds too unbelievable “The study suggests that strong light, or even just daylight, might ease the risk of having a heart attack or suffering damage from one,” says researcher Tobias Eckle. “For patients, this could mean that daylight exposure inside of the hospital could reduce the damage that is caused by a heart attack,” he continues. It gets even odder, too. The connection between light and heart-health lies in our circadian rhythm — yeah, that internal clock that gives us jet lag. “The circadian clock is regulated by proteins in the brain. But the proteins are in other organs as well, including the heart,” explains the report. Light provides the right kinds of proteins for post-heart attacks. [CU]
