The body's cells respond to the pulse of red or infrared light. All cells possess small batteries called mitochondria. They are responsible for providing all cells with energy. When fully charged, our cells perform at best, without fatigue. In the mitochondrion wall there are specific proteins that react to light, triggering chemical changes inside and outside the cell. These changes are positive and immediate, making the body perform under an optimal condition – in an agile and healthy way. When mitochondria receive light, we become actively prepared to face the day-to-day activities.
The effect of light on the brain is very powerful. Red and infrared lights illuminate the batteries of brain cells making them work in a fatigueless way (neuroprotection). In addition, lighting on the head is able to promote new cells (neurogenesis), new synaptic terminals (synaptogenesis) and new blood vessels (angiogenesis). The end result is a real upgrade to face the increasingly demanding tasks of our modern life.
