What is LED Light Therapy for human health improve?

Red Light Therapy

First up,let's consider what light therapy is.Light therapy is as old as humanity. As long as humans have been around, your ancestors have lived at least part of the day in sunlight. That sunlight is the original form of light therapy.

Light therapy means using light to improve health,performance,or other outcomes influenced by your biology.Almost everyone knows that by spending time in the sun,without clothing,you're creating vitamin D in the skin (1; 2; 3; 4; 5).

But sunlight exposure has tons of other health benefits as well that most people aren't aware about. And, you can't get all the benefits of vitamin D from a pill.A recent review study on sunlight exposure explains the following:

"Studies in the past decade indicate that insufficient sun exposure may be responsible for 340,000 deaths in the United States and 480,000 deaths in Europe per year, and an increased incidence of breast cancer, colorectal cancer, hypertension, cardiovascular disease, metabolic syndrome, multiple sclerosis, Alzheimer's disease, autism, asthma, type 1 diabetes and myopia. Vitamin D has long been considered the principal mediator of beneficial effects of sun exposure. However, oral vitamin D supplementation has not been convincingly shown to prevent the above conditions; thus, serum 25(OH)D as an indicator of vitamin D status may be a proxy for and not a mediator of beneficial effects of sun exposure. New candidate mechanisms include the release of nitric oxide from the skin and direct effects of ultraviolet radiation (UVR) on peripheral blood cells." (3)

That's an astounding statement.

Let us break that statement down into more detail.

  • First, of all, your overall cancer risk actually goes down with sufficient sunlight exposure, even though the risk of some types of skin cancers might go up.
  • Secondly, sunlight exposure has a huge effect on your overall disease risk, such as diabetes, Alzheimer's, neurological conditions, and others.
  • Thirdly, you can't take a supplement to get these benefits. You need to expose your skin to sunlight to get most of the benefits. Taking a vitamin D pill only gives your body a slight fraction of the benefits.

Now, light therapy is as old as humanity. Many different cultures, such as the Egyptians and Aztecs, have even celebrated the sun as life-giving source. Of course, these cultures didn't have the exploratory method of modern science to explain why exactly sunlight has the benefits it does.

Infrared light - which is what makes the sun feel hot on your skin - was only discovered in the 19th century. And, the effects of ultraviolet light creating vitamin D in the skin was only discovered in the early 20th century (4; 5). Modern infrared saunas were only invented in the 1960s in Japan (6). And, during that same time, what we call red light therapy today was also invented.

But let's take a step back:

The most crucial point of this section is that you use light therapy to intentionally make your biology work better, providing benefits such as better health, more outstanding performance, anti-aging benefits, and so forth. Red light therapy is one form of light therapy that is quickly becoming one of the most important.
