It seems like it improves mitochondrial function.
Mitochondria, big word, tiny little things that are in each of our cells.
There's hundreds to thousands of them in each of our cells.
And they're what create energy for the cell.
And it looks like
Red and especially infrared light, when it hits mitochondria, it's kind of like scrubbing them clean.
They make energy more efficiently after those red and infrared photons hit them and actually knock off the rust, in a sense.
But the interesting thing is that everyone's doing the red light therapy.
They're putting the crazy hockey masks on their faces.
But red, and especially infrared, is a big part of the solar spectrum.
So more than 50% of sunlight is in the infrared.
Some of the Maha crowd seems to be some of the first ones to really discover, you know, discover the sun as a rallying cry.
But one concern that I have is that rather than doing the 300-page book that explores the nuances, you get the, you know, the quick tweet, you know, sunscreen causes skin cancer, the sun heals everything, you should go out in the sun again.
It's kind of like, here we go again with heliotherapy.
I think sunscreen actually can be a great tool for helping people get outside more.
The safe thing to say from all this research that's been done is that
it looks like indoor life is really unhealthy for us.
I think probably the push for wear sunscreen every day, 24-7, 365, doesn't matter if it's summer or winter, doesn't matter what your skin tone is,
It doesn't matter what you're going to be doing that day.
Even if you're going to be just at your desk all day, you got to wear sunscreen and reapply all day long.
