Joe Rogan Ditches Glasses for Red Light Therapy
20 Nov
Summary
- Joe Rogan claims red light therapy and lutein supplements improved his vision.
- He no longer needs reading glasses, which he previously used for close tasks.
- Studies suggest red light may boost eye cell energy and improve color vision.
Podcaster Joe Rogan, 58, has shared that he no longer needs reading glasses, attributing this improvement to his recent use of red light therapy and lutein supplements. He stated that red light therapy, which uses low-level LED light wavelengths, has made a "giant difference" in his vision.
Rogan also incorporates lutein, an antioxidant found in leafy greens and certain produce, into his regimen. This nutrient is vital for vision as it combats blue light from digital screens and reduces inflammation. Despite its benefits, many Americans do not consume enough lutein through their diet.
Research, including a study from University College London, suggests red light exposure can increase energy production in retinal cells, potentially slowing vision decline and improving color contrast. While generally considered low-risk, prolonged or unprotected exposure to red light therapy could pose risks, and the long-term effects are still under investigation.
