Without light there is no life. The food chain of life begins with the sun’s actions on green plants. Everything we consume comes directly or indirectly from the sun. All humans are heavily dependent on both light and color for health.

Scientists discovered a common condition called “seasonal affective disorder” (SAD) which leaves people feeling depressed throughout the dark winter months. The cure: full spectrum lights. The cause: our brains have a meter (pineal gland) which measures the quality and quantity of light going into our eyes. Without adequate light, many people get depressed. Surrounding colors are also important: green is healing, pink is relaxing, red is energizing and so on.

Humans are designed to eat fresh foods. By processing foods, much of the “light energy” is lost form the food. Chemical fertilizers and high refined junk food so not contain crucial light energy.

Start a Light Energy Food Garden

To sprout seeds into young plants, get untreated seeds of alfalfa, mung beans, moonflowers, lentils, radish wheat grass, rye, corn, rice, peas and millet. Soak overnight in a glass jar. Rinse 3-4 times daily. Cover the jar top with a screen and invert. The screen will keep the sprouts in and allow the water to drain out.

Scientists have found that sprouted seeds improve in biological value of protein, enzyme and vitamin content up to 600%.

To obtain more “light energy” food, take organically grown fruits and vegetables or peeled commercial produce and toss them into a high speed blender and drink a glass daily. Take your favorite herb (mint) and steep the crushed leaves in a gallon glass jar in the sun for herb tea.

The body can become ill looking through the wrong colored tinted lenses. Wear sunglasses tinted with blue or green. Use full spectrum light bulbs in your home or get plenty of natural outdoor lighting. Wear a hat in the sun. Do not get too much sun on the skin. Scientists have found a combination of poor diet (not enough anti-oxidants) coupled with too much sun has led to an epidemic of cataracts.

Light Energy Foods

A few foods particularly rich in “light energy” include: sprouts, fish liver oils, liver, eggs, yeast and fresh green and orange fruits and vegetables. Many fresh wild grown herbs are rich sources of minerals: lamb’s quarters and okra pods for calcium, watercress for sulfur, dandelion and stinging nettle for iron, kelp (seaweed) for iodine, mullein leaves for magnesium, garlic for sulfur and selenium, grape juice for potassium, oatstraw for silicon.
