In today's world, the average American spends a staggering 93% of their life indoors, with 87% inside buildings and another 6% inside cars, according to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). This means only 7% of our lives are spent outdoors—a stark contrast to the natural environment our ancestors lived in. This drastic shift from outdoor living to an indoor, artificial-light-dominated lifestyle has severe consequences for our health. The sun provides the full spectrum of light, including essential near-infrared light, which is crucial for powering our biology and repairing our cells. In contrast, modern man-made lighting, such as LED bulbs, screens, and smartphones, emits an unbalanced spectrum of light that is heavily enriched in blue wavelengths, while missing the counterbalancing infrared light that our bodies need to heal and function properly. This imbalance can lead to eye strain, headaches, fatigue, and, over time, more serious health issues like mitochondrial dysfunction and chronic diseases. At Ra Optics, we believe in a dual approach to tackling the modern epidemic of sunlight deficiency. First, we encourage everyone to get adequate exposure to direct sunlight each day to set your circadian rhythm and stimulate the production of key hormones and neurotransmitters. Second, we recommend protecting yourself from the harmful effects of artificial blue light by wearing Ra Optics blue light protection eyewear. Try incorporating both practices—sunlight exposure and blue light protection—into your daily routine, and experience the transformative benefits of the Science of Light. #ScienceOfLight #RaOptics #CircadianRhythm #Sunlight #HealthOptimization https://lnkd.in/dafM2wpq

Ra Optics x Emilio Ortiz Ra Optics is thrilled to have sponsored an amazing conversation between two individuals we deeply admire: Dr Joe Dispenza and Emilio Ortiz on the Just Tap In Podcast. Dr. Joe’s groundbreaking work on the science of changing our minds and bodies through meditation, visualization, and thought is changing lives around the world. He dives deep into the science behind self-transformation, blending neuroscience, epigenetics, and quantum physics to empower people to take control of their health and destiny. We are honored to support his InnerScience Research Fund by donating $50 for each pair of our exclusive Dispenza Frames sold on our website. If you’re interested in exploring how our thoughts can shape our reality, you won’t want to miss this episode. This insightful conversation is packed with actionable wisdom and a fresh perspective on what’s possible when we tap into the power of our minds. ?? https://lnkd.in/dMXu85F4 A huge thank you to Dr. Joe for taking the time to sit down with Emilio and answer so many thought-provoking questions with wisdom and heart. We’re grateful to be part of this journey with both of you. Don’t miss out—throw on your Ra Optics, get comfortable, and let this conversation expand your mind! With Light, Ra Optics

Largest ever study on light exposure proves its impact on mental health. A groundbreaking study from the Monash School of Psychological Sciences and the Turner Institute for Brain and Mental Health, published in Nature Mental Health, reveals the profound impact of light exposure on mental health.? With nearly 87,000 participants, the study found that increased night-time light exposure raises the risk of psychiatric disorders like anxiety, bipolar disorder, and PTSD by 30%. In contrast, increasing daytime light exposure reduces the risk of depression by 20% and can significantly lower the risk of self-harm, psychosis, and other mental health issues. At Ra Optics, we understand the challenges posed by modern light exposure and are dedicated to creating products that alleviate the negative impacts of blue light at night. Our mission is to harness the Science of Light to offer superior blue light protection, helping you maintain a healthy circadian rhythm and overall health. We encourage simple yet powerful practices, such as avoiding blue light at night and seeking sunlight during the day, to enhance your mental and physical well-being. Our glasses are designed with advanced lens technology and stylish frames. Our Daylight Lenses block harmful blue light during the day to prevent eye strain, headaches, and fatigue, boosting your mood, focus, and productivity. Our Sunset Lenses lenses block the most harmful wavelengths at night, increasing melatonin production to fall asleep faster, improve sleep quality, stay asleep longer, and wake up feeling refreshed. Join the movement to optimize your light exposure and unlock your true potential. Learn more about our mission and products at Ra Optics.
