What is so Postive about Negative Ions?

Health and general wellness are closely tied together you cannot have good health without making wise choices, to help enhance your well-being!

Did you know that Bamboo Charcoal gives off oxygen and negative ions?  You might ask, what are positive and negative ions and what do they do?   Basically, the air that surrounds us is full of positive and negative elements that are electrically charged.  The elements are the positive and negative ions, they can be an atom or a molecule and they are a normal occurance and they happen naturally in the air.  For example negative ions are charged, oxygen atoms with an extra electron, and they can help you to feel better!  There happens to be a larger supply of positive ions, than negative ions in the air.  The positive ions create and generate an electrical imbalance in the air and our bodies, that means they tend to be damaging to our bodies.  These are what we call free radicals.  Free radicals can cause the destruction of our body cells.  Free radicals can extract and take out electrons from our healthy cells.  For this reason, damaged cells are believed to be the reason for the disintegration of our physical and emotional wellness, also this is possibly why our body ages and is capable of getting cancer. So positive ions are unhealthy and dangerous, while in contrast negative ions tend to help you feel better, with enhanced vitality!

Here are a few known benefits of negative ions:

They help you to sleep better, they enhance physical and mental performance, they also help to prevent migraine headaches, reduces and/or destroys bacteria, viruses and other microbes, it can help to improve your mood and emotions, it helps get rid of pollen dust, etc...  Even a modest quantity of negative ions, can kill airborn bacteria.

In experiments with animals it has been shown that the animal chooses to be in the negative ion cages and they tend to stay away from the cages with positive ions.

Here are other examples:  Rabbits are known for being timid, and peaceful creatures but when they were exposed to overdoses of positive ions they were showing aggressiveness.

Human burn victims also seem to recover faster and have less pain when they were exposed to air with negative ions.

Even "problem children'" tend benefit from an environment rich in negative ions.

There is a continuing controversy pertaining to how detrimental electromagnetic waves   are in our homes. These waves come from our TV, visible light, microwaves, x-rays, radio transmissions, stereos, computers, basically our electric gadgets, etc...  Some say the electromagnetic waves are bad and some say there is not enough information to prove either way.  Good or bad, negative ions help to us to get rid of electromagetic waves.

We are not always able to choose to be surrounded by cleaner air when we our outdoors, but we can choose to have cleaner air in our homes. When we are surrounded by an abundant number of negative ions occupying our air space, our capacity for improved health and well-being become better.   Simultaneously, the positive ions are detrimental and damaging to our health.  We can't totally avoid air pollution.  Indoor air pollution is one of the most serious environmental concerns in the USA.

Negative ions are mostly in fresh air, they can be created and formed by lightening, ocean surf, waterfalls and plants.  Don't forget Bamboo Charcoal can be another way of putting negative ions in your home, office, RV, gym, etc...

So make the wise choices in your life, God Bless and Be Well!
