Benefits of Ions (Negative Ions)
Negative ions are created in nature with air molecules broken apart from sunlight, radiation, and moving air or water. After a lightning storm, most of us feel invigorated and refreshed. This is because the electrical storm has generated trillions of gloriously tranquilizing negative ions that ease tension and leave us full of energy.
"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.
An experiment was conducted on electric ions and the permeability of the cell membrane. In the experiment, skin was used to exemplify the cell membrane. When positively charged ions were permeated into the surface of the skin, its pores and sweat glands began to contract. However, when Negative Electric Ions were permeated into the surface of the skin, its pores and sweat glands expanded, which demonstrates good metabolism of the cell membranes. This phenomenon is called Prototype Plasma Membranes of Dermal Reflectivity. Dr. Arudoman of Germany also conducted research regarding the influence of ions to the human body. He proposed the following hypothesis - Negatively Charged Ions are beneficial to the human body in four major ways:
Reprinted from "Economy Daily News" - January 30, 2002:
- Strengthen the functions of autonomic nerves
- Reinforces collagen (tissues that are resilient and tension-related)
- Improves the permeability of the cell's prototype plasma membranes (improves metabolism)
- Strengthens the body's immune system
Metabolism, which is the process of acquiring nutrients from the blood and excreting waste out of the body, is extremely important to the human cells. The more Negatively Charged Electric Ions there are in the blood, the more efficient the cell's metabolism process.
It is well known that consuming more alkaline foods, i.e. fruits and vegetables, is beneficial to human health. An acidic PH balance of the body, on the other hand, makes the body weak and susceptible to sickness. Acidification of the blood, which is caused by the loss of electrons, can be prevented by Negative Electric Ions, which contains an abundant amount of electrons improving the body's immunity and resistance to illnesses. This is one reason why Negative Electric Ions products are becoming more and more popular.
Negative ions for a positive attitude
Positive ions, which are found in abundance in most indoor environments, cause an overproduction of serotonin. Serotonin is a neurotransmitter that helps the body deal with mental, emotional, and physiological stress. An overproduction initially causes hyperactivity, which rapidly leads to anxiety, and in some cases depression. Negative ion treatment has proven to be successful in reducing the overproduction of serotonin, and therefore successful in alleviating depression in some cases (Kreuger, 1957).
Studies at Columbia University and the New York State Psychiatric Institute have demonstrated that High Density Negative Ions appear to act as a specific antidepressant for patients with seasonal affective disorder (SAD).
Ion Power Ball
Why is there a Red Ball under the Power Terminal?
The red circles on the underside of the power terminals are produced from our exclusive combination of 'Ion and Infrared' molecule technology. These therapies have individually existed and benefited people around the world for hundreds of years.
The basic principles of Ion and Infrared Technology, is the human body reacts favorably when exposed to these naturally made molecules. Studies have proven that the human bodies blood cells experience an increased flow of oxygen when Ion and Infrared molecules are present.
As a result, many people experience a WIDE VARIETY of health benefits. Customers have reported such benefits from having 'better balance' to 'decreased muscle and joint pain'.
