There's so many PubMed papers on it.
And you can get one of those devices now for like a hundred something bucks.
Like you're not going to get the giant.
So the benefit of that is like your eyes are part of your brain.
They're not actually separate from your brain.
They're considered part of your brain and different light signals give your body different signals into your pituitary gland.
So like right now we're getting a lot of blue light in our eyes, which I'm
know a little upset about because it's late at night so like this blue light is telling my body to not produce melatonin because that would make me fall asleep or make me sleepy and so light gives your body signals and we evolved over millions of years with the sun and when you wake up in canada and it's dark outside like you can sort of shift that by turning on a red light getting some of that red light in your eyes and for people that are vain out there there's tons of studies showing red light benefits your skin health
Well, yeah, I live in sunny San Diego right now, so- But I know a couple guys-
the the reason that those tanning beds have probably have more melanoma associated is because it's isolated light so like from the sun we get this full spectrum of light like there's only red light there's like green and blue and yellow and there's this full spectrum and we had this circadian biologist expert on the podcast and he broke all this down way better than i could but like he's basically saying we're adapted to get these different spectrums of sunlight early morning sun exposure
Makes it so you will get sunburn less in the day.
Let's say you get early morning sun on your body and then you go out at like 3 p.m.
Your body like starts to adapt and develop resilience.
The tanning beds are like isolated blue light even sometimes.
And in my opinion, it's not good.
