Negative Ions
Comments Aug 8, 2011 | Posted by ionxwear in Technology
Ever notice how refreshed, invigorated and just plain “alive” you feel when you’re at the base of a waterfall, near a natural spring, walking along the beach or in the woods, or right after a good rain? The reason you feel that way is because negative ions are present in abundant numbers!
The natural production of Negative Ions is minimized by “Concrete Jungles” thereby disrupting the delicate electrical balance between the atmosphere and the earth.
To better understand the benefits of negative ions, it’s important to understand the effects that positive ions have on our bodies. High concentrations of positive ions (and the lack of negative ions) are associated with most of the environmental stressors found in our daily lives, such as computers, cell phones, electric appliances, exhaust fumes, cigarette smoke, pesticides, dust and soot, and the radiation released by high-voltage power lines, to name a few.
These positive ions create free radicals, which are known to be harmful to our health. Germanium and Tourmaline converts moisture in the air into negative ions which neutralize the free radicals created by positive ions. The higher concentration of negative ions produced by Germanium and Tourmaline result in the same healthful effects on the body as the negative ions produced in nature.
More and more health experts, researchers and doctors are acknowledging the astounding health-promoting benefits of negative ions:
- Revitalization of cell metabolism
- Strengthening of the immune system
- Stabilization of blood pressure
- Improvement in blood circulation (dilation of vessels)
- Strengthening of the bones
- Purification of the blood (increase in alkalinity)
- Facilitation of breathing
- Reduction in pulse rate
- Enhancement of heart function
It should be noted that the above benefits experienced may vary from individual to individual.
