So you get this like immediate response.

But actually that's really a minority of the power of the sun.

Over seventy percent of the wattage we absorb is is in what's called near infrared.

So just beyond the visible range, just beyond red, it's really not a whole lot of red.

It's mostly near infrared.

Part of that is like the nature of the spectrum itself, that the peak is in near and is close to near-infrared from the sun, but it's also because near-infrared light penetrates.

All the way through the body, it's the deepest penetrating of all wavelengths.

So we have these mitochondria in our body that absorb.

these wavelengths of light, red and near infrared, and that's what light therapy is.

But the light therapy from the sun is mostly near infrared.

And that's most of our experience with the sun when we're out there

And we feel warm from within.

And we feel good.

You know, we got there's something about it that's just like, oh, this makes me feel good.

It's really the near infrared that's nourishing us.

It's not so much the ultraviolet light, even though there is a vitamin D response, it's because ultraviolet light is ionizing.

So it is damaging our cells, it's causing oxidative stress and and and damage like all the time.

But with that little bit of stress, we get this huge, overwhelming, big dose of healing.

It's funny, all the studies that the industry

Uh that's a great question.
