BRAIN HEALTH

While most people are familiar with benefits from red therapy for most skin issues like wrinkles, sun damage, healing burins and cuts but most people aren’t aware of the benefits for the brain.

Red and near infrared light therapy may significantly slow the progress of Alzheimers and Parkinson’s disease as well as benefit individuals with dramatic brain injuries.

Red and near infrared light therapy has been shown to benefit cognitive performance and memory. Improve mitochondrial function of brain cells. Have a protective effect on neurons and improve cellular repairs of those neurons. As well as increase brain derived neurotrophic factor BDNF and nerve growth factor NGF and last but not least decrease brain inflammation.

Sounds like some amazing benefits for only a couple minutes a day of light therapy!
