It is a pleasure to walk barefoot along the seashore. There's something in the air after a spring storm, near a mountain waterfall or along a beach. In each of these environments, invisible molecules are released in great abundance. These molecules are called ions and can be positively and negatively charged.

Ions have a notable number of health benefits. Already in 1910, Albert Einstein said that the healing properties of the air of Davos Mountain were due to the energy in the air. Air contains molecules of nitrogen, oxygen, water vapor, carbon dioxide, etc. Each of these molecules contains atoms. These atoms lose or gain oxygen electrons. This process generates a physical process of purification of particles, Covs and pathogens. Through your skin and breathing you absorb these microscopic molecules daily. This is how they reach your body and produce very interesting biochemical reactions for your emotional well-being. The sand is also negatively charged, so walking barefoot on the beach scores double. On the coast the concentration is around 2,000 negative ions per cubic meter. The key is to surround yourself with greenery and nature to fill you with vital energy, let creativity flow and you feel better about yourself thanks to the negative ions.

And remember to open the window of your home when it rains, especially after a storm. Rain also contains negative ions. On the contrary, positive ions cause a massive overproduction of serotonin in the blood, which triggers the release of adrenaline in the brain that can cause anxiety and nervousness.

In a city it does not reach 100. And in a normal unventilated home, only a few dozen. To make matters worse, household appliances, mobile devices, synthetic carpets and plastic materials increase positive ions (“the bad ones”). They could well be compared to the effects of an anxiolytic. Only this, totally natural and without side effects.

THE IONS OF THE AIR, --

1) Improves air quality---

2) Reduce particles---

3) Reduce formaldehydes and volatile compounds--

4) They reduce allergens and the presence of dust in the air--

5) They reduce the presence of viruses and bacteria--

AT THE ORGANIC, NEURONAL AND COGNITIVE LEVEL--

1) Neutralizes free radicals --

2) Strengthens cellular metabolism (excretes toxins from the body)--

3) Strengthens the immune system and increases recovery--

4) Purifies the blood and increases cellular oxygenation--

5) Balances the autonomic nervous system (one of the causes of stress)--

6) Promotes deep sleep--

7) Strengthens digestion--

8) Increases serotonin content in the blood (counteracts depression and feelings of stress)

9) Improve respiratory function and activate hormonal balance--

10) Improve performance and increase productivity--

11) Improves attention and vital energy--

Russian research conducted at the Institute of Theoretical and Experimental Biophysics of the Russian Academy of Sciences, in Pushchino, found that exposure to ions increased levels of the protective antioxidant enzyme superoxide dismutase (SOD) in mammalian erythrocytes. This enzyme is a very important part of our body's antioxidant defense mechanism.

Similarly, German researchers discovered a link between the regulation of catecholamines and increased life expectancy. Study from the Goldstein and Lewin Department of Medical Research in Stahnsdorf, Germany. In a study, comparative samples extracted from animals exposed to ions and isolated from them were reviewed and evaluated.
