Page Contents: Our hunter–gatherer ancestors didn’t have LED lights, iPads, or street lights ablaze all night. Instead, they were dependent on the sun, the moon, and fire for light.

Artificial light at the wrong times creates a mismatch between our genes and the environment, with potentially dire health outcomes. Light pollution has an impact on your sleep and your overall health. Check out this article to find out how to reduce your exposure to light pollution at home...

Page Contents: Traditional cultures around the world have long enjoyed the occasional alcoholic beverage. Cauim, an alcoholic beverage made from the manioc root, has been enjoyed by indigenous people of South America for millennia. The Japanese have been making sake for at least 2,000 years, while winemaking began nearly 8,000 years ago.
