You and plants have more in common than you may think. Why? Because your cells love light. In fact, certain types of light are beneficial for the health and functioning of your cells, which is why they’re drawn to it. So, if you’ve ever felt more energized and just all-around healthier during the summer months, part of the reason may be because of the sunshine. You see, sunlight contains about 600 wavelengths of light, including red light and near-infrared radiation (a section of the electromagnetic spectrum just beyond visible light) that your cells particularly love. We’ve written about the power of red light therapy for your skin health before, but did you know that exposure to red light and near-infrared light offers benefits that are more than just skin deep?
Near-Infrared, Red Light, & Your Cells
Both red light and near-infrared radiation (NIR), specifically, make your cells smile because they stimulate your mitochondria, the “powerhouses” of your cells. When they’re exposed to NIR and red light, your mitochondria produce more ATP, which is the cell’s main energy currency. A boost in energy production means healthier, happier cells—and when your cells are functioning optimally, this can promote tissue repair, reduce inflammation, and promote healing (Liao et al., 2021).
The Full-Body Benefits of Red Light Therapy
Red light therapy, also known as photobiomodulation therapy (PBMT), can offer various benefits we can see, such as improving hair growth, acne, wrinkles and fine lines, and other skin conditions. But the effects go way deeper, too. Red light therapy can also:
- Provide temporary relief from minor muscle and joint pain as well as stiffness
- Aid in the temporary relief of muscle spasms
- Trigger a temporary increase in local blood circulation
- Promote muscle tissue relaxation
So, if you’re working out regularly, integrating red light therapy can help reduce muscle soreness and speed up recovery after workouts. Plus, because it can enhance blood flow, red light therapy can ensure more oxygen and nutrients reach your tissues, which can aid in healing and recovery.
