Biophotons are light waves emitted from the cells of most living creatures. 

Plants or parts of plants take in photons from the Sun, store them and turn them into biophotons. 

Interaction between light and biological material is researched by biophotonics. 

Once seen as quackery, biophotonics is today widely accepted in scientific and academic circles. 

Followers of biophotonic theory believe that food rich in biophotons has energizing and healing properties. 

The origin of biophotonics

Russian scientist Alexander Gurwitsch discovered in 1923 that living things emit photons within ultra-violet part of the spectrum. 

Gurwitsch called this invisible radiation from living cells "mitogenetic radiation". 

His discovery encouraged numerous researches by many scientists around the world.

But, the first breakthrough of this theory came during the seventies as a part of the work made by a German scientist Fritz-Albert Popp. 

He concluded that the DNA is the main source of those waves, which he called biophotons.

Also, he created a device that was able to measure these low-frequency light waves.

Based on biophotonic measurement researches, Popp discovered that healthy persons have significantly higher amounts of radiation when compared to sick persons. Furthermore, he also discovered other important biophoton sources apart from the DNA.

We now know that such waves exist in the RNA and in other forms of macromolecules, including chlorophyll, enzymes and hemoglobin. 

By estimating biophotons in various food items, Popp discovered that organically produced food has five times higher emissions of biophotonic energy than industrial food. 

Furthermore, organic food that grows in the wilderness has two times higher emissions of biophotons than food from cultivated organic production. 

It is also important to note the discovery that cooked or in any way processed food has almost none biophoton radiation. 

Wild plant food

Just as Popp discovered, wild plant food items are the richest nutritive source of biophotons. That is mostly true for edible plants that grew in the wilderness without any human interference.

Holistic nutritionists emphasize dandelion leaves, nettle, edible grasses, mushrooms, nuts and berries as highly recommended biophoton sources.

Wild plants and other organic foods are consumed in raw form in order to maximize their biophotonic potential. 

They have to be eaten within two or three hours after they have been picked.

Biophotonic measurements have shown significant differences between diet plans.

For example, people eating junk food or often using extreme diets had nearly 1.000 units of biophotonic radiation.

Contrary to all results, average biophoton measurements for people eating raw food were 83.000 units.

Fresh fruits and vegetables

After wild plants, fresh and organically produced fruits and vegetables are at the second best biophoton source.

An experiment was conducted in order to compare biophotonic radiation from fresh vegetables and multivitamin diet supplement that had all vitamins in daily recommended quantities. 

While radiation from food was excellent, vitamin radiation was actually non-existent.

So, in order to ensure adequate levels of biophotons, eat raw fruits and vegetables, possibly from your own organic garden.

If you live in urban areas and do not have the opportunity for gardening, maybe you have relatives or friends living in a countryside that can give you fresh fruits and vegetables.

In that case, eat them as soon as possible.

Our body radiates light

Our body shines; it emits artificial light of a thousand times lower intensity than the one that can be seen with our eyes. Almost all living beings emit a faint light.

Using very sensitive cameras that can detect every photon, Japanese scientists discovered that those levels of light emissions vary during the day. 

Bodily emissions are at the lowest levels at 10 a.m. and highest at 4 p.m. after which they start to gradually decline. 

It is believed that light emissions are connected with the body clock, probably due to metabolic rhythm that changes during the day.

People’s faces were shining brighter than the rest of their bodies, probably because they are exposed to the Sun the most.

So, if you want to literally shine, enjoy sunlight every day!

The best biophoton sources:

• wild plants
• freshly picked organic fruits and vegetables

You will not find biophotons in:

• cooked or in any way processed food
• fast food
