Why Not All Red Lights Are Created Equal?
One primary reason red lights are not created similarly is their different wavelengths. This means that different red light therapies come with varying ranges of power.
Most people need a red light therapy device with a wavelength range of 630nm to 660nm and 810nm if it’s near-infrared.
Regular lights like halogen, fluorescent, and incandescent aren’t best for red light therapy. These selected lights come with a mix of different lights, including a few that we don’t require.
That’s not all; these lights can be hot during the sessions, and you definitely won’t want this. This is why LED lights are preferred compared to other light types. Moreover, other light types won’t be as effective as LEDs.

MONTEVIDEO, Feb 15 2006 (IPS) – The frequent antagonism between protecting the environment and creating new jobs is clearly evident in the construction of two pulp mills on the Uruguayan side of the river that creates the border with Argentina. In addition to threatening bilateral relations between the two countries, the projects pit environmentalists against labour unions.
The mills, being built along the Uruguay River by Spain s ENCE and Finland s Botnia companies, and slated to begin operations in 2007, are fueling hopes for more jobs in the area, but are also stirring up fears of future damage to natural habitat and harm to human health.
Truckers, technicians and hundreds of metal and constructions workers who stand to benefit from …

MEXICO CITY, Mar 16 2006 (IPS) – An average of 4,500 children under the age of five die every day worldwide from lack of access to clean drinking water and basic sanitation. To talk about this appalling situation, 100 children and teenagers from 30 countries have come to Mexico to share their experiences and take part in the search for solutions.
The Children s World Water Forum kicked off Thursday in the Mexican capital. The young participants, who are involved in water and hygiene projects in their schools and communities, will debate water topics and have the chance to express their points of view to several government ministers.
They will listen to us, because children are most heavily affected by the water crisis, and if we don t do something now,…

MEXICO CITY, Aug 8 2006 (IPS) – Mexico has the highest proportion of people considered overweight or obese 20 percent of children and 70 percent of adults in the world, surpassed only by the United States.
We have to leave behind the idea that a chubby child is a healthy child, Gisela Anaya, with the non-governmental Mexican Diabetes Federation, told IPS.
Emilio Fernández, head of the independent Platícame (Talk to Me) Foundation of Children and Adults with Diabetes, told IPS that the weight gain among the population is the result of the drastic drop in consumption of fruit and vegetables over the last five years and the rise in consumption of junk food and fast food rich in carbohydrates and sugars.
Obesity is one of the factors that predisp…

LISBON, Mar 29 2007 (IPS) – Drastic public health budget cuts in Portugal have led to the closure of emergency and maternity services and prompted protests against the government of socialist Prime Minister José Sócrates.
As a result of economic reforms and austerity measures adopted by the government to reduce the budget deficit, Portuguese women in some border areas must now cross into Spain to give birth.
Hospitals in Spain have signed agreements with their counterparts across the border in Portugal. One such case involves the cities of Badajoz in western Spain and Elvas in eastern Portugal.
The battle for Portuguese women s right to give birth in their own country is not the only consequence of the budget cuts in the health system, altho…

WASHINGTON, Nov 19 2010 (IPS) – Rising food prices have not yet reached crisis levels but they are expected to remain very volatile for about the next decade, researchers said Thursday.
The conclusions were based on a new study of the factors that contributed to the 2007-08 food crisis, which researchers hope will shed light on what actions might be taken to avoid food crises in the future.
There were many suspects for what caused the crisis, but little evidence, said Derek Headey, a research fellow at the International Food Policy Research Institute, who co- authored the report. Three years on, there is more evidence.
The IFPRI study cites a perfect storm of factors: rising energy prices, demand for biofuels, depreciation of the U.S. dolla…
