Most people don’t realize that car windows don’t just block UVB, they also filter out nearly all Near-Infrared (NIR) and Ultraviolet-A (UVA) light.

When sunlight is distorted and unbalanced, it can be damaging at a cellular level (for example: the truck drivers face over the course of 28 years). Full-spectrum light works synergistically, helping regulate oxidative stress and support mitochondrial function. You don’t want high energy visible (blue) without the balancing red and infrared.

Next time you’re on a road trip, try driving with the windows down OR get some in cabin incandescents light to add the infrared back in.  

You will feel the difference ☀️💡
