What are Negative Ions?

Negative ions are alkaline and positive ions are acidic. Negative ions are odorless, tasteless, and invisible molecules that we inhale in abundance in certain environments such as mountains, waterfalls, and beaches. Once they reach our bloodstream, negative ions are believed to produce biochemical reactions that increasel evels of the mood chemical serotonin, helping to alleviate depression, relieve stress and boost our daytime energy.

City dwellers are usually bothered by stress/fatigue in city areas with high usage and presence of electrical home appliances, mobiles and industrial wastes produce positive ions which are harmful to our body.

Negative ions helps to facilitate blood circulation and enhance metabolism by lifting our body temperatures. This improves our quality of sleep and soothes fatigue from sore muscles caused by work or exercising.

If you feel washed out even after long hours of sleep, your body could be acidic and require negative ions to neutralize the acidic toxins by increasing the alkaline levels inside our body which will improve our balance of health. 

Vitamins of the Air?

Generally speaking, negative ions increase the flow of oxygen to the brain; resulting in higher alertness, decreased drowsiness, and more mental energy," says Pierce J. Howard, PhD, author of The Owners Manual for the Brain: Everyday Applications from Mind Brain Research and director of research at the Center for Applied Cognitive Sciences in Charlotte, N.C. "They also may protect against germs in the air, resulting in decreased irritation due to inhaling various particles that make you sneeze, cough, or have a throat irritation."

And for a whopping one in three of us who are sensitive to their effects, negative ions can make us feel like we are walking on air. You are one of them if you feel instantly refreshed the moment you open a window and breathe in fresh, humid air. "You may be one of them if you feel sleepy when you are around an air-conditioner, but feel immediately refreshed and invigorated when you step outside or roll down the car window," Howard tells WebMD. "Air conditioning depletes the atmosphere of negative ions, but an ion generator re-releases the ions that air conditioners remove."

 

Regular use of negative ions product will have effect on:
* improve immune system
* improve blood circulation
* strengthens cardiovascular system
* improve sleep quality
* ease joint-related pains and body aches
* normalise your hormonal imbalances
* reduces stress and fatigue
* increase concentration, body energy and productivity

 Based on research and study, here are the summary of negative ion benefits: 

Asthma, Allergies, and other Respiratory Problems 
and Illnesses
Many scientific studies have been conducted over the years (mostly in Europe and Russia) showing how exposure to high levels of negative ions drastically or significantly reduce asthma and allergy symptoms, as well as respiratory-related illness.

Migraine Headaches

Inhaling negative ions regulates the production of serotonin inside the brain. The overproduction of serotonin inside the brain is the cause of migraine headaches.

Fatigue
The overproduction of serotonin (chemical produced inside the brain) also causes fatigue, and negative ions regulate the production of serotonin inside the brain.

Sleep
A study in France found that negative ionizers helped people to sleep better, by regulating the production of the chemical serotonin in the brain.

Mental Performance and Concentration
Several tests have shown people exposed to negative ion treatment perform much better in mentally-oriented activities than those who are not.

Physical Performance
Due to test results performed by Russian scientists, negative ionizers were always installed in the locker rooms and resting places for the Russian athletes.

Burns
Studies performed in one hospital found that burn patients were far more likely to recover more quickly and thoroughly.

"The action of the pounding surf creates negative air ions and we also see it immediately after spring thunderstorms when people report lightened moods," says ion researcher Michael Terman, PhD, of Columbia University in New York.

In fact, Columbia University studies of people with winter and chronic depression show that negative ion generators relieve depression as much as antidepressants. "The best part is that there are relatively no side effects, but we still need to figure out appropriate doses and which people it works best on," he says.
