Improved light nutrition can help your organisation:
Light nutrition for organisations
Light impacts virtually every cell in our bodies, driving physical and mental processes that dictate our health and how we feel. How much light we need, the type we need and at what time of day is what we mean by ‘light nutrition’. It’s individual to each of your employees, with a range of factors that determine their needs:
Their chronotype
Whether they are an early bird or a night owl, or somewhere in-between
Their environment
The lighting in your building and other environments they spend their time
Their geography
Where in the world they are spending time and its weather patterns
Their seasonality
How sensitive they are to changing seasons
Their demographics
Their gender and age
