All about
Anions:
All
living things in the world are related to ‘anions’
(or negative ions).
Do
you know anions?
Benefits of Negative Ions
“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 of 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.
Studies
Proving the Effectiveness of Negative Ions
- Help prevent respiratory-related illnesses
- Counteract the effects of smoking
- Anti-depressant
- Help sleep better
Healing properties of
Negative Ions
Recovery from physical exhaustion
or fatigue: by increasing oxygen levels in
the blood and facilitating more efficient oxygen utilization,
negative ions help accelerate recovery from fatigue.
Stabilizing brain faction:
by promoting abundant oxygen levels in the
blood, negative ions help normalize brain function,
resulting in relaxation and calmness
Blood purification:
by increasing the levels of calcium and sodium in
the blood stream, negative ions help restore a healthy
(slightly alkaline) PH balance to the blood.
Increasing metabolism:
by stimulating the exchange of electronic substances
in cell walls, negative ions help increase metabolism.
Strengthening the immune system:
high levels of negative ions promote production of
globulin in the blood, resulting in stronger resistance
to illness.
Balancing the autonomic nervous
system: negative ions can calm and relax
taut nerves by balancing the opposing sympathetic
and parasympathetic branches of the autonomic nervous
system.
Promoting better digestion:
by counteracting over-arousal of the sympathetic nervous
system, negative ions help ease tension in the stomach
and intestines, promoting the production of digestive
enzymes and enhancing digestion.
Cell rejuvenation: negative
ions help revitalize cell metabolism, enhancing the
vitality of muscle tissue and strengthening internal
organs.
For overall health: negative
ions can rejuvenate and revitalize all the body’s
systems and cells, promoting a stronger overall constitution.

Comparison of POSITIVE
IONS & NEGATIVE IONS
- POSITIVE
IONS are
harmful to the human
body
- NEGATIVE
IONS are beneficial
Positive
ion: an
atom (or molecule) that has lost one or more electrons
due to a high-energy impact. Natural forces that generate
positive ions include the decay of radioactive minerals,
radon gas, forest fires, lightning and ultraviolet
rays.
Negative
ion: an
atom (or molecule) that has gained one or more extra
negatively charged electrons. Negative ions are naturally
generated by evaporating water.
