ALL ABOUT ANIONS

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.
