More confirmation that mitochondria feed on red light

 


If you are old and read a lot, have a tiny red led flashlight in your pocket.  All our screens and ebooks are blue light, and the sunrise is red light.  Those little mitos in your eyes need to feed and there's no blood.  These scientists directly measured a 10% feed for mitos, but in your eyes it might be a lot more.

Just 1-2 minutes gets your eyes going for another few hours.  Everybody I know is afraid to do it, but they also believe in climate change.

Any update on what red lights you use on your eyes and skin? I looked back at your old posts on this and those links have long expired.

Just a standard red led flashlight used for astronomy and animal night watching. I like the small ones with a focus, so you can change the strength. I tried red light on the skin and it doesn't do anything. But red light in the eyes cuts the irritation in 2 minutes, and I can read again for hours.
