When the mitochondria are functioning well with a red light shining on them, the electrons move very, very nicely and smoothly. But when we don't have redlight shining on those chromophores, those proteins in the mitochondria, absorb the light or anything that absorbs light. So then the, that process of electrons jumping slows down. And so then we have, again, increased for radical generation, all these problems. Same with the melatonin, melatonin repairs those repairs of mitochondrial DNA, which makes those proteins work properly. It's like blue light at night destroys melatonin this way; lack of red light with blue light during the day also destroys it more directly.
