75. Sunlight, Mitochondria & Decentralized Science | Alexis Cowan, PhD
Regenerative Health with Max Gulhane, MD
Embrace Sunlight for Health
Indoor living leads to a deficiency in essential red and infrared light, which are crucial for human health. To combat this, individuals need to intentionally incorporate more natural sunlight into their lives, as our bodies evolved under its natural spectrum. While red light panels can supplement this deficiency, they cannot replace the benefits provided by sunlight. Additionally, UV light plays a vital role in structuring water within cells, which is essential for metabolism. However, living indoors limits UV light exposure due to window glass blocking most UVB and UVA rays, compounded by societal fears around UV light, leading to overuse of sunscreens and protective clothing. Raising awareness of the importance of red, infrared, and UV light is essential for promoting healthier lifestyles and encouraging people to enjoy the sun without fear.
