Why This Recipe Supports Red Light Therapy

Extra virgin olive oil is rich in oleocanthal, a compound with measurable anti-inflammatory activity, and the eggplant, zucchini, and tomato mix supplies polyphenols and antioxidants. This anti-inflammatory foundation may help lower oxidative stress, working alongside red light therapy's effect on mitochondrial energy production.
