BENEFITS OF RED LIGHT THERAPY

BLOG POST 1 OF 6

The health and fitness industry is raving about ed light therapy because it simply has so many benefits; benefits that help us look amazing, feel amazing and on a much deeper level, help us heal, recover and produce healthy cells and hormones so our body can function optimally. This is why Recharge Plus has invested in commercial grade, whole body, Red Light Therapy Panels.

We are committed to a whole body and mind approach, helping you be the best you can and live your best life - from the inside out!

The human body responds to light; it will perform a series of metabolic events to absorb energy from light and convert it into cellular energy. The health benefits of consistent use of red light therapy are so vast and hard to cover in one article, so I have decided to split this content across six blog articles, this being the first of these.

So today, we will look at the benefits red light therapy has on:

1. Exercise, Recovery & Weight Loss

In due course 5 more blog articles will be uploaded onto the website covering the following areas:

2. Beauty, Skin & Hair Growth
3. Aches, Pains & Circulation
 4. Inflammation
 5. Hormone Health - (Thyroid, Fertility & Energy Regulation) + Sleep 
 6. Mental Health & the Immune System

SO FOR NOW, WE FOCUS ON

EXERCISE, RECOVERY AND WEIGHT LOSS

Red light therapy stimulates the functioning of existing mitochondria in the body, helping it to create new mitochondria, which in turn enhances your fitness performance. (Mitochondria are responsible for energy production.) Thus, with continued use, energy levels will continue to improve.

What’s more, research shows that red light therapy increases results derived from gym workouts, (whether they be of a strength or endurance nature) compared to doing exercise alone.*

Red light therapy stimulates stem-cell activity which leads to faster recovery from exercise and lower levels of fatigue. Thus by incorporating red light therapy into your routine, you can bounce back quicker after your workouts, and be ready to work harder and lift heavier on the next session!

In addition, red light therapy increases muscle blood flow, which prevents the formation of scar tissue, thus reducing your chance of injuries. **

In the case that you do have injuries, such as torn ligaments, research indicates that red light therapy will speed up cell regeneration and lead to faster healing times. *** ****

WEIGHT LOSS

Research indicates that red light therapy helps you to lose fat *  - and more interestingly - to lose fat from problematic areas. For example the hip, and thigh areas have proven to be very responsive to red light therapy.

It is therefore believed that the combination of red light therapy and exercise will have better weight loss results than exercise alone.

It goes without saying that a combination of; a balanced nutritious, protein rich diet, lower stress levels, staying hydrated and getting enough good quality sleep are all instrumental in maximising your weight loss results. So if you’re on top of all of this and exercise and have consistent red light therapy sessions, you’re on the road to smash your weightless results.
