Red light therapy improves glucose metabolism

 You may wonder why I post an article about light therapy, it's because light is another form of electromagnetism:

The red light can penetrate through the skin and positively impact the mitochondria within the body’s cells, helping to create more energy and allowing the cells to function better and repair themselves.


Co-lead study author Dr. Michael Powner, senior lecturer in neurobiology in the School of Health & Psychological Sciences at City University London said they decided to look at red light therapy as a way to help control blood sugar levels after reading a study from 2019Trusted Source highlighting that sunlight exposure could correlate with improved glucose metabolism.


“We explored this in bumblebees nd found that red light reduced systemic glucose after feeding,” Dr. Powner told Medical News Today. “This latest study clearly shows a translation of this to humans.”


“Red light is absorbed by mitochondria and helps them produce more energy,” he explained.


“It lubricates the energy-making machine. But in producing more energy this way they need more raw material and this is largely glucose. They take this out of the blood.”
