Negative Ions
Lenard (1915) found that when water is atomized (e.g. on impact of a water droplet), negative and positive charges are separated. He discovered that molecules which are torn from the surface of the water bear a negative charge (small negative ions) whereas large drops or the entire mass of water are positive. This provided an unexpected explanation for the refreshing, invigorating effect of residences close to a waterfall or spring, or even after rainfall, but there are other ways in which negative ions help.
It is well known that the consumption of more alkaline foods,
such as fruits
and vegetables, is beneficial to human health. If the body has an acidic PH
balance, it can make the body weak and
susceptible to sickness. Acidification of the blood, which is
caused by the loss of electrons, can be prevented by the
introduction of negatively-charged ions, which contain an abundant amount of electrons.
This improves the body's immunity and resistance to illnesses. This is
the reason negative ion-related products are becoming increasingly popular nowadays.
Metabolism, which is the process of acquiring nutrients
from the blood and excreting waste out of the body, is extremely
important to the health of human cells. The more negative ions there are in the blood, the more efficient the cell's
metabolism process becomes. Through an experiment on electric ions
and the permeability of the cell membrane, scientists found
that when positively-charged
ions were permeated into the surface of the skin, its pores and
sweat glands began to contract. However, when negative ions were permeated into the surface of the skin, its pores and
sweat glands expanded, which demonstrates an improved ability to
sweat and expel toxins, indicating good metabolism of the
cell membranes.
