Chlorophyll is the energy, which drives the functions of the plant at the cellular level, allowing the plant to thrive. Chlorophyll is to the plant what ATP is to the human body. Neither chlorophyll nor ATP can be manufactured without the presence of specific-wavelengths of light.
If you planted something in the best soil and gave it the highest quality of water and fertilizer but no sunlight, the plant would die. This is because, in the absence of sunlight, the plant cannot make use of the great nutrients at its disposal. Similarly, if you fed your body the best foods, took the highest-grade supplements, drank the purest water available, but didn't have access to specific-wavelengths of light, your body would not be able to produce ATP. As a result, each of the cellular processes would grind to a halt, resulting in death at the cellular level.
Realistically, you are not going to be totally deprived of light. However, as you age, your cellular metabolism slows down and your cells get “tired”. While increasing the quality of your nutrient intake may help you look and feel somewhat better, this alone will not significantly affect the rate of cellular metabolism.
The nutrients you ingest need to be converted to ATP before they can fuel life processes at the cellular level. This is where light therapy can help. To put it simply, Red Light therapy is the process of supplementing your body with light, so that the body can repair itself.
ATP is the fuel that powers life at the cellular level. Red Light therapy stimulates the mitochondria and increases the production of ATP within the treated tissues. In addition to sparking ATP production, Red Light therapy also stimulates specific cellular organelles, depending on the condition being targeted.
It is important to note that the (visible red and Infra-red) energies used in a WATERWAVE SPA treatment do not heal/rejuvenate the tissues being treated. Red Light simply provides the tissues being treated with the energy necessary to spark the production of ATP. Once ATP is produced, the body will use this energy to carry out repair and rejuvenation on a cellular level and in return, the body will visibly repair itself.
