Red Light Benefits
Red light exposure, especially in the morning, may enhance mitochondrial function in photoreceptors, crucial cells for vision that decline with age. A notable study from Glen demonstrates that red light can potentially aid in repairing these cells, although further research is needed. While red light has its advantages, using it later in the day does not activate the neurons that signal daytime to the brain.In this clip
