"In the 140 years since Edison's invention, electric lighting has spread far and wide, transforming the way we live our lives. And it continues to grow every brighter: a recent study of satellite images revealed that the earth's artificially lit outdoor area is currently increasing by more than 2 percent a year."-Linda Geddes, Chasing the Sun: How the Science of Sunlight Shapes Our Bodies and Minds
"When overweight and obese women were put on a weight-loss diet for three months, those who consumed most of their calories at breakfast lost two and a half times more weight than those who had a light breakfast and ate most of their calories at dinner -- even though they consume the same number of calories overall."-Linda Geddes, Chasing the Sun: How the Science of Sunlight Shapes Our Bodies and Minds
"Being out in the sun, we are starting to understand, can lower blood pressure, calm our immune system and even alter our mood. Even without such knowledge, most of us are instinctively drawn to sunlight because sitting in it just feels so great, and there may be a reason for that: when the sunlight hits our skin, our bodies release endorphins, the same 'feel good' hormones that produce a runner's high."-Linda Geddes, Chasing the Sun: How the Science of Sunlight Shapes Our Bodies and Minds
