Red SunLight Guide III

I live in a complex where pilots, attorneys, flight attendants and an MTA worker live and most of them are heading out to work before 6AM, every morning. Yes, even on the weekends.

I wake up before sunrise to start my day. By doing so, I can catch the red sunlight that appears around half an hour before the sun fully rises.

Red sunlight has wound-healing and anti-inflammatory effects that I seek daily. Red sunlight can reverse myopia which is nearsightedness historically gotten by reading books like The Bible under low candlelight.

Red Light (620-700 nm):

Stimulates mitochondrial activity to enhance ATP production (cellular energy) through red light chromophores in the electron transport chain. Promotes collagen, elastin, hyaluronic acid production for skin health. Supports wound healing, muscle recovery, and tissue repair. Reduces inflammation and improves circulation

Infrared (IR) Light (700 nm - 1 mm) Near-Infrared (NIR, 700-1,400 nm):

Penetrates deeply into tissues, improving mitochondrial function. Increases blood circulation and tissue oxygenation. Supports wound healing and muscle recovery. Makes sub-cellular melatonin during the day from the mitochondria. Protects cells against cytotoxicity. Propels blood flow

Mid Infrared (MIR, 1,400–3,000 nm):

Enhances blood circulation by causing vasodilation. Promotes detoxification through sweating

Far Infrared (FIR, 3,000 nm–1 mm):

Encourages relaxation and detoxification. Improves skin health and supports joint health

Get some.

In summary, while FIR is always present, its intensity and source vary:

Daytime: Solar and terrestrial sources, modified by atmospheric conditions.

Nighttime: Predominantly terrestrial emission, with less atmospheric attenuation if the sky is clear.

So, FIR is not particularly tied to a specific time of day but rather to the conditions and sources present at any given moment.

Red Sunlight Diaries 8.22.24 | 632-nm light 

632-nm light has been established as the most effective wavelength for treatment of cutaneous wounds.

I stepped outside at 5:38 a.m. and was greeted by a red sunrise reminiscent of an old-school Superman film. It reminded me of the scene where Superman's North Pole headquarters glows a vivid red when he inserts a red crystal into a clear tube that descends into the ground.

The official sunrise was scheduled for 6:13 a.m., but the red light had been glowing brightly for about 3 to 5 minutes before I stepped outside—possibly around 5:30 or 5:35 a.m.

By 5:53 a.m., the intense red light began to fade, giving way to a honey-gold hue that gradually transitioned into lighter gold and yellow, overtaking the remaining blue of the early morning sky. The white moon still shone brightly amidst the changing colors.

I've been tracking the timing of this red sunlight throughout the year, but our unpredictable weather has made it challenging to pinpoint its exact appearance, making those early morning red sunrises especially elusive.

Like a jolt of energy ⚡️ from coffee you experience within the first few swigs you consume every morning, like the head-buzz a cigar gives you as you finish the first third of a stick or as you finishing inhaling & exhaling a cigarette—red sunlight absorbed by your eyes, your scalp and any part of your exposed skin gives you a boost. You'll feel it in your eyes for sure. Stare into that red light as it is the only light that can penetrate deep thru your skin and touch your organs too.

Historically, sunbathing has been recommended for its healing properties. While increasing body temperature through sun exposure can mimic a fever and help with some ailments, it’s the specific benefits of red sunlight that are even more crucial.

Sunlight increases the risk of skin cancers, but lessens the risk of dying from them. (early morning sunlight is best)

Exposure to sunlight extends the lifespan and reduces the risk of heart disease and other cancers.

The classic explanation has been that Vitamin D synthesized in the skin has protective effects.

Synchronizing circadian clocks with blue-rich daylight is as effective, without skin exposure to sunlight.

Humans were not meant to live inside buildings; our biology is designed for the outdoors, much like plants and trees. We've forgotten this essential truth, leading to issues like depression when we avoid the sunlight that's so beneficial to us.

That jolt you'll feel from an early-morning viewing of super red light will be felt throughout your body for the entire day.

Your body will respond in ways that will show you itself that you should be getting much more of it.

*oh, the red light lamps aren't this red light although they are the same frequency (632-nm light)—natural red sunlight does not go thru glass to get to you, having much more healing capabilities than non-natural red-light therapies.

Morning Tool

Got up in time for a bit of red sunlight.

I feel as if red sunlight is so elusive to catch within the confines of any city in the world, probably.

I have to go through hoops and hurdles every morning to get to a corner where the red sunlight is plentiful because the view of the sky is unobstructed.

I'm within what seems to be an old forest with very large trees that go up very high. Even when we drive out of the neighborhood we have to go under a canopy of enormous trees.

I'm not complaining— I rather enjoy feeling a bit closer to nature than when all the smog is in your noise anytime I'm in Manhattan.

NYC subway riders breathe 'exceptionally' toxic air, study shows

Poor air quality underground disproportionately harms low-income commuters, especially Black and Hispanic riders, researchers found.

Anyhow, Keeping track of red sunlight across the year is basically saying:

Google the word "sunrise" and let google know your location if it asks. Otherwise the sunrise time in your area will show up. Now, pending no rain or clouds you want to be outside about 20 minutes before sunrise and maybe even 30 minutes prior to sunrise because anytime between 30 minutes and 10 minutes before sunrise is when you'll get super red sunlight.

Once the initial VERY red light is out it will slowly spread while dissipating into the rest of the sky as shades of pink and then dark orange then golden yellow then light peach finally turning into the morning blue.

That's the red sunlight you want. No lamp will give the same effects even tho results do show some improvement in vision under red light therapies. The naturally occurring red wavelengths of sunlight, however, are far superior.

Get some. Do your research. Mixed with cardio it is in incredible mood booster and productivity tool for early-risers.
