Exposure to UV light has numerous health benefits, including vitamin D production, enhanced skin barrier functionality, and mood regulation. UV light is used in medical treatments for various diseases.
Lack of UV light exposure is linked to diseases such as cancer, high blood pressure, cardiovascular disease, and diabetes. Red and near-infrared light also provide benefits, such as improved hair growth, skin health, circulation, and reduced inflammation and pain.
Research studies show that red light therapy can reduce blood glucose levels, increase ATP production, improve vision, and rejuvenate the skin. Going outside and getting sunlight is a free and effective way to reap these benefits.
Overall, exposure to UV and red/near-infrared light has significant implications for overall health and well-being.
