RED BALANCES BLUE AND UV LIGHT

More evidence for the benefits of using all the light.
You don't have to worry about missing colors or spectrums of light in sunlight....only artificial produced or altered light (glass etc).

"We observed that....

Most people easily understand whole foods are healthier than processed foods.

The same goes for light.

Sunlight, starlight, firelight are the unprocessed, whole foods of light.
Red controls the toxicity of too much blue. Can you show me any new evidence for this?

You don't want to play that with your health. Get blue light without red light and thats exactly what you are doing.

HEALTH ALERT: WHY SHOULD YOU WORK CLOSE TO A WINDOW?

Have you read the "with or without windows" study?

This study compared workers who had a workspace with windows to workers who had a workspace without windows.

And what it found was.....

Workers who had a window near them during the day had lower cortisol and higher melatonin levels at night (when they are supposed to) compared to the workers who did not have windows during the day.

So the workers who did not have a window at their work had lower melatonin and higher cortisol levels at night.

This is bad for your physical and mental health because higher cortisol levels are positively correlated with minor psychiatric disorders and depressive symptoms at 10:00 pm. Lower melatonin levels at 10:00 pm were correlated with depressive symptoms and poor quality of sleep.

Work outside if you can but if you can't, at least try to be near a window. And if that is truly impossible then you have to hack it with the red, infrared, UV and bright light therapy machines. I'll link to my favs below.

"Our study demonstrated that not only may light pollution affect human physiology but also lack of exposure to natural light is related to high levels of cortisol and lower levels of melatonin at night, and these, in turn, are related to depressive symptoms and poor quality of sleep."Image
My favorite bright light therapy machine for your desk or office environment is called the SKY PORTAL. Code bluelightdiet will get you a discount here:

My favorite red and infrared light therapy machines are from EMR. Code bluelight20 will get you a discount here:

A PREGNANT MOMMY'S BELLY IS A GIANT INFRARED LIGHT THERAPY MACHINE

"the fetus is surrounded by the amniotic fluid which has a peak transmission in the NIR forming a dielectrically filled integrating sphere surrounding the fetus ensuring uniform exposure to NIR photons impinging on the mother’s belly."Image
Of course my favorite infrared light therapy machine is the sun but I also like EMR as a supplement. Code "bluelight20" will get you a discount.

DO YOU KNOW THE "ASCOBAL EFFECT" OF RED LIGHT THERAPY?

The ascobal effect occurs when you treat one area and get results in another area.

In this paper you see that red light therapy was used to treat two similar cuts on an arm. The red light treated cut healed faster than the sham treatment group but so did the other cut that was not treated with red light therapy.

"At days 6, 8, and 10, follow-up testing revealed that the laser group had smaller wounds than the sham group for both the treated and the untreated wounds......The LLLT resulted in enhanced healing as measured by wound contraction. The untreated wounds in subjects treated with LLLT contracted more than the wounds in the sham group, so LLLT may produce an indirect healing effect on surrounding tissues."

RED LIGHT HAS SYSTEMIC EFFECTS.Image
"Our data suggest that LLLT has an indirect healing effect on surrounding tissues. The LLLT was applied to 1 of 2 randomly chosen wounds spaced 5 cm apart. Although we found a slight difference in wound contraction between the 2 wounds in the laser group, both the treated and the untreated wounds showed enhanced healing compared with those in the sham group."

Of course my fav at home red light machines in general are here. Code bluelight20 gets you a discount.

HERE'S PROOF APPLE NIGHTSHIFT ISNT GOOD ENOUGH AT NIGHT FOR YOUR HEALTH

YOU NEED BLUE LIGHT BLOCKING GLASSES & A SPECIAL "CIRCADIAN CONTROL PANEL" FOR YOUR PHONE

In this study, you see that using a regular ipad at night in the three hours prior to their normal bedtimes showed that one-hour and two-hour exposures suppressed melatonin by 23% and 38%.

The blue light goggles (dont be confused these are not blue blockers) in the study were designed to emit 470nm blue light at 40lux suppressed the most melatonin.

The Apple Night Shift modes reduced that melatonin suppression to between 10 and 20% which is better but still significant and chronic melatonin suppression equivalent to nothing you would find in a natural dark night environment.

But....

The orange colored blue and partially green light blocking glasses (blocking up to 525nm) basically prevented any melatonin suppression.

They also say that DIMMING the BRIGHTNESS settings on your phone can further help reduce melatonin suppression from the artificial light.

So the moral of the story is, not only is Night Shift not good enough to preserve your good health, but if your nights are not naturally dark and include artificial lighting and screens, you need a good pair of blue light blocking glasses and you need to DIM your lighting as much as possible.

You need to install our free blue light diet "circadian control panel" which works better than Apple nightshift because it removes more blue/green light and dims your screen.

And if you don't already have a pair, go get a pair of blue light blocking glasses that work.

You can find instructions for the free circadian control panel and our favorite blue light blockers below.Image

Can Light Emitted from Smartphone Screens and Taking Selfies Cause Premature Aging and Wrinkles?

YES lol.

"Exposure to light emitted from electronic devices on human skin cells, even in case of short exposures, can increase the generation of reactive oxygen species.... Especially, extrinsic skin aging can be caused by oxidative stress."

How many times has your dermatologist told you that screenlight or LED you use at night is causing your wrinkles?

Cover your skin, filter your screenlight and use lights made for night. Suggestions below.Image
"Recent studies show that exposure of human skin cells to light emitted from electronic devices, even for exposures as short as 1 hour, may cause reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation, apoptosis, and necrosis."

THE NUMBER ONE CANCER IN THE US NAVY IS MELANOMA SO THEY DID A STUDY AND FOUND.....

"personnel in indoor occupations had a higher age-adjusted incidence rate of melanoma. Persons who worked in occupations that required spending time both indoors and outdoors had the lowest rate. Incidence rates of melanoma were higher on the trunk than on the more commonly sunlight-exposed head and arms."

and

"Findings on the anatomical site of melanoma from this study suggest a protective role for brief, regular exposure to sunlight and fit with recent laboratory studies that have shown vitamin D to suppress growth of malignant melanoma cells in tissue culture. A mechanism is proposed in which vitamin D inhibits previously initiated melanomas from becoming clinically apparent."

The Navy apparently knows what your "melanoma expert" dermatologist doesnt....

Melanoma happens most frequently indoors where there is no sun but lots of artificial light and vitamin d that is made by the sun inhibits melanoma from being clinically relevant.

The sun is protective and not a main cause of melanoma.Image
I meant to say #1 most deadly cancer
