Scientists investigated how red light exposure impacts blood sugar (glucose) levels in healthy individuals.
Researchers exposed participants to a specific frequency of red light (670 nm) for 15 minutes before they consumed a sugary drink and then monitored blood sugar levels for two hours.
The study involved 30 healthy individuals divided into two groups: a red light exposure group and a control group without light exposure.
Red light exposure significantly reduced blood sugar spikes after the sugary drink and lowered overall blood sugar levels compared to the control group.
This study suggests potential benefits of red light therapy for managing blood sugar levels, which could have future applications in diabetes management.
Further research is needed to confirm these effects in individuals with diabetes.
The study was conducted at City, University of London and published in the Journal of Biophotonics.
