Like Plants & Animals, Humans Also Require Light
For hundreds of thousands of years, humans lived outdoors in sunlight. Now? We live indoors. Covered in clothing. The result? As a species, we are now Chronically Light Deprived. We all know plants need light. But did you know that humans need light, too? There are more than a dozen bodily mechanisms that light is […]
How Red Light Can Improve Our Health
We all know that plants need light to function. But did you know humans also need light to function? Our cells need power, which is created by the mitochondria. Through enzymes, the mitochondria convert the food we eat and oxygen we breathe to produce ATP, or usable cellular energy. However, normal biological functions create a […]
