Are You Getting Enough Light in Your ‘Diet’?

Why does the body need sunlight to be healthy? Besides activating vitamin D on your skin so you can absorb it in your body’s systems, sunlight has other functions. Sunlight on the skin shouldn’t be downplayed as it regulates over 2000 different genes in the body, boosts the immune system and is important to keep inflammation levels down and keep depression away.

Another function of sunlight is to provide the red light frequency to the body cells. Red light is counteracted by blue light that comes off computer screens and computer gadgets as well as artificial light sources.

All these artificial sources of light throw off the circadian clock, which dysregulates metabolites, processes, and hormones. When your circadian clock is out of sync, you don’t get good sleep. And that alone is enough to cause disease and early mortality.

Red light – and the near infrared light from the sun actually penetrates the skin and enters the body. Once inside your body, it becomes photoactive and will modulate the function of your cells.

What The Red Light Does To Your Body

Here’s a list of some of the effects of red light on the body:

  • Improves skin collagen levels and reduces skin wrinkles
  • Enhances mitochondrial function, thus giving you more energy
  • Reduces cellulite
  • Speeds wound healing
  • Encourages fat loss
  • Thyroid conditions helped
  • Reduced pain for arthritis, chronic pain, fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome
  • Stimulates hair regrowth
  • Fights against skin aging
  • Increases strength, endurance and muscle mass
  • Builds resistance against stress
  • Optimizes brain function and mood
  • Overcome fatigue

Red light therapy is now being offered at high end clinics where practitioners are dedicated to doing everything it takes to help their patients improve and not just maintain their poor health conditions. Red light therapy is often as easy as standing in front of a panel of red LED lights (with the proper output; not just any old LED light will do) for up to 10 minutes and allowing the light to penetrate into the skin and deeper organs. When repeated, the healing effects become greater and greater.
