More and more evidence suggests that the toxins in our environment, foods, water, air, personal care, cleaning and beauty products, plastics, petrochemicals, herbicides, insecticides, pesticides hormones in meats, medicines, pharmaceuticals, dusts, dust mites, allergens, bacteria, viruses, pathogens, electromagnetic pollutions from our cellular phones, computers, TV’s, microwaves, power lines, etc. can have a very negative effect on our bodies and our health.
The presence of toxins in our bodies in any amount is not healthful or beneficial and the accumulation of toxins is harmful and may lead to fatigue, general aches and pains, declining appearance, performance, decreased focus and mental sharpness, premature aging, allergies, and many chronic diseases.
Although it may seem harmless to many people, medical science is discovering that releasing and cleansing these toxins can have a great impact on health.
Negative Ions
Have you ever wondered why you feel so good when hiking in the mountains, being close to a waterfall, or walking on the beach? Negative IONs may explain it! Negative IONs are molecules which have more electrons than protons thus giving it a negative charge. These IONs are created in nature as air molecules are separated due to sunlight, and moving air and water. Although the peace of being surrounded by nature is reason enough to go outside, evidence shows that negative IONs released in these environments can aid your body’s health and well-being. Additionally, Pierce J. Howard, PhD, the director of research at the Center for Applied Cognitive Sciences in Charlotte, N.C., stated that: “Generally speaking, negative ions increase the flow of oxygen to the brain; resulting in higher alertness, decreased drowsiness, and more mental energy.” Research conducted by Columbia University showed that negative ION generators were as successful as antidepressants in relieving winter and chronic depression.
