RED LIGHT ON THE STOMACH Aside from providing noticeable improvements in digestion, motility, etc, the stomach is an ideal area for targets Red/NIR light therapy, because of simply how much stuff is going on there: - Red light therapy improves mitochondrial function across all cells, regardless where targeted, but focusing on areas with substantial blood flow (ie abdomen, carotid artery) can expose circulating red blood cells) - Red/NIR increases serotonin-triggered contractions in stomach muscle, physically supporting motility - Bowel inflammation is pervasive, red light can help inflamed tissue recover/return to normal functioning - Researchers irradiated mouse abdomens with red/NIR light and found changes in gut microbial composition. Similar effects have been noted with red light therapy in the mouth (where a substantial portion of your microbiome live) - Near-infrared light increases melatonin inside cells, offering a potent antioxidant effect (particularly in mitochondria) I could go on, but you should just try it after your next meal and on an empty stomach at night.
