Use Red Light to Improve Brain Function

Red Light Therapy

Red light therapy has been shown to have a number of potential benefits for brain function. Some of the most promising include:

  1. Improved sleep: improves sleep quality and duration, which can have a positive impact on brain function.

  2. Enhanced cognitive function: Some studies have shown that it can improve cognitive function, including memory, learning, and decision-making.

  3. Reduced inflammation: it may help to reduce inflammation in the brain, which can contribute to a number of cognitive problems.

  4. Stress reduction: Red light therapy helps to reduce stress and anxiety, which can have a positive impact on brain function.

  5. Increased blood flow: Red light therapy increases blood flow to the brain, which can improve brain function and reduce the risk of cognitive decline. 

There is a lot of evidence to suggest that red light therapy may also have an impact on the mitochondria in the brain. Mitochondria are the energy-producing structures within cells, and they play a crucial role in maintaining overall cellular health.

Because the brain has the most amount of mitochondria in the body (other than the ovaries), it's safe to say that using red light to improve the efficiency that mitochondria can turn AT to ATP will improve overall brain function and processing. 

Near infrared (NIR) light is a type of light that is just beyond the visible spectrum of light, with wavelengths ranging from 700 nanometers to 1,400 nanometers. Because NIR light has longer wavelengths than visible light, it is able to penetrate deeper into tissues, which the best way to impact the mitochondria in the brain.

In humans, NIR light has also been shown to increase cerebral blood flow, which may improve brain function. It has also been suggested that NIR light may have anti-inflammatory effects on the brain, which could potentially be beneficial for brain health.

Overall hacking your brains function with the use of red light should be a go to for busy entrepreneurs. It's simple, becoming significantly more affordable and is non invasive.
