Negative Ions

Negative ions are present in the air we breathe in and they are also present in our bodies. The degree to which negative ions contribute to overall well-being and health is scientifically proven. They:
* neutralize free radicals.
* revitalize cell metabolism.
* enhance immune function.
* purify blood.
* balance the autonomic nervous system, promoting deep sleep and healthy digestion.

Negative ions are oxygen atoms charged with an extra electron. They are needed to balance the levels of positive ions in the air and why the air feels fresh and easy to breathe near a waterfall or after a thunderstorm.

A study by the US Department of Agriculture discerned that
ionizing a room decreased dust in the air by 52% and
reduced bacteria up to 95%.
Anything that decreases the need to dust…now you have my attention!!!

When you breathe in air that is charged with negative ions, stress levels are reduced, a positive mood is created, and the levels of serotonin increase reducing depression and lethargy. Negative ions increase oxygen flow to the brain, leaving alert and energized. Tests have repeatedly shown that those exposed to high levels of negative ions perform better with mentally challenging tasks.

Negative ions help bring the body into balance, especially when suffering long-term exposure to electromagnetic fields (and excessive positive ions from cell phones, computers, and TVs). They inhibit the oxidation of free radicals; reduce heavy metals, viruses, and other harmful elements.

About a year ago I purchased a room ozonater that also has a negative ion setting. I have found that I really like it. I use the ozone in the morning and turn on the negative ion setting before I go to bed. Though I can’t bullet point how it is helping, the fact that I enjoy using it so much must stand for something. Here is a link. I am not affiliated with this company, I just use the products.

Lastly, the Ionic Detox Footbath that I offer in the office functions by using negative ions. The diode puts negative ions into the footbath water while you soak and that draws out the positively charged toxins from your system through the pores in the feet. If you have never had one of these footbaths, starting the year off with negative energy might just be a new twist!!!
