New Research in Light Therapy That Alleviates Depression Can Also Lead To
A Slimmer Waist
The bioLight Group (bLG) Rancho Santa Margarita, CA, August 18, 2009 – Most people have heard of Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD), often referred to as winter depression that results from a lack of natural sunlight in the dark days of winter. A person with SAD tends to overeat, oversleep, crave carbohydrates and experience weight gain. Not surprising since human history began with people living and toiling outdoors during the light of day absorbing the full-spectrum of ‘life-charging’ solar energy from the sky for eons. An average of 10 hours each day in the sun, 70 hours weekly, was common. Now however in less than a mere two hundred years, millions of people have unwittingly become contemporary cave dwellers living and working indoors, sometimes, all-day long. Unfortunately this dramatic reduction of natural light exposure, that our DNA has been programmed to run on, and its’ associated disturbance to our vital circadian rhythms has contributed to many health issues which includes weight gain. Our circadian rhythms are regulated by light and control appetite, energy, mood, sleep, libido and a lot more. Renowned photobiologist, the late Dr. John Ott, father of full-spectrum light, has coined this adverse phenomenon, "Mal-illumination." Mal-illumination is to light as malnutrition is to food. This means that even if you’re not SAD and are fine — more light energy can make you feel better, happier and may actually help reduce your waistline at any time of the year.
So what do you do if you are stuck in the office or the house all day with the kids? You bring the right kind of light inside. bLG, the same people that originally developed the popular ‘full-spectrum’ Ott Light System over twenty years ago have now advanced Dr. Ott’s original fluorescent light technology for radiant health, to the premier 'green' technology of light emitting diodes (LED). While building on Dr. Ott’s insightful research, bLG acts as a catalyst for raising awareness of — Mal-illumination…the silent epidemic.
Can this really work? Fact is the human body functions much like a green plant collecting energy from the sun called photocurrent. Photocurrent, entering the eyes, regulates brain chemistry and is also distributed through out the body via the nervous system. Humans are photobiotic ‘solar beings’ — all of us are absolutely dependent on the absorption of vital, solar radiation. According to biophysicist, Dr. Fritz Albert Popp, director of the International Institute of Biophysics, “We know today that man is essentially a being of light. And the modern science of photobiology is presently proving this. In terms of healing…the implications are immense. We now know, for example, that light can initiate, or arrest, cascade-like reactions in the cells, and that genetic cellular damage can be virtually repaired, within hours, by faint beams of light. We are still on the threshold of fully understanding the complex relationship between light and life, but we can now say, emphatically that the function of our entire metabolism is dependent on light.”
Every metabolic process, every enzyme reaction, muscular movements, the digestion of food and the burning of fat are all electro-chemical processes that are augmented by sunlight energy. A reduction of 'natural light energy' causes a slowdown in these electrical processes that leads to decreased metabolism, reduced burning of fat, reduced vitality and compromised immunity. Additionally, research shows that every food, vitamin, mineral and supplement also requires a specific wavelength interaction in order to be fully metabolized. The correct wavelengths of therapeutic light allow you to gain the nutritious, natural light 'bio-nutrients' that you need each day, thereby keeping the weight off and your energy up. bLG is pleased to share preliminary published research that supports a weight loss/body fat benefit when using this patented, innovative technology that naturally complements and enhances most peoples weight and wellness regimens. Additional science based benefits are elevated mood, reduced fatigue, and improved sleep… now those are side-affects we can all live with.
