While healing light (and heat) frequencies such as infrared may not be breaking news, they can be difficult to understand. Infrared is available in convenient personal products structured for targeted healing (think: sauna blankets, infrared body belts, etc.). However, if we don’t have access to these things, the sun provides natural infrared as well. And no, we don’t mean the hottest part of the day in the mid-afternoon.
We’re talking about the wonderful and fleeting morning sunrise. The spectrum of light emitted by the early-morning is near-infrared. This light, though soft and diffused, can penetrate our skin and eyes in a good way.
Looking at the sunrise first thing in the morning instead of our cellphones’ strained blue light, sets us up for a great night of sleep that evening and a lively, go-get-em morning the following day.
That’s because this specific type of light helps us produce melatonin in the mitochondria that leads to rest at the appropriate time, and we get better quality sleep, to boot. This means better memory retention, clearer skin, boosted immunity, brighter moods … and so many other benefits that accompany clocking those valuable, regenerative Zs. Not to mention, melatonin actually has antioxidant, which can boost cellular energy and slow aging.
It’s also beneficial for our brains in other ways. Recent studies show that the infrared light of a sunrise can improve neurodegenerative processes, boost brain metabolism, and calm brain inflammation.
So, imagine what could happen when you don’t continuously hit your alarm clock. Consider us transformed to morning people.
