Positive Ions
Ions that are "negative" in terms of words are actually very positive supporters for us. There is a negative ion concentration in the most quiet and relaxing places in the world. The ion levels in the air are in perfect harmony in areas such as waterfalls, mountains, seaside and forest areas.
The homes and offices we live in today cannot let in negative ions. Computers, fluorescent lights, artificial air from ventilation systems and materials used in modern building construction lead to an intense positive ion production. However, the effect of positive ions is not "positive" as we think. Positive ions can make us feel tired, depressed and angry.
What is an ion?
The smallest part of an element that has its chemical properties is called an atom. An ion is an electrically charged particle composed of an atom that has gained or lost an electron. Ion is ubiquitous in many objects, products and machines we use in daily life, in water and air, in short, in everything that surrounds us.
While positively charged ions harm our health, negatively charged ions make an important contribution to our health. The excess of positively charged ions causes our attention to be impaired, our memory to be negatively affected, our sleep patterns to be disrupted, tiredness and headaches. A positively charged environment adversely affects the immune system and airborne germs can make you sick more easily. So can we avoid this extremely positive ions-charged environment? "Yes." Although mechanically developed devices that produce negative ions are developed, you can create negative ions of yourself.
7 Ingredients That Will Contribute to Generating Negative Ions
1- Avoid wearing synthetic textiles that tend to attract positive charges in the form of static electricity. Choose natural textile products such as cotton, wool and silk.
2- For your household goods, prefer natural: not synthetic; Use natural linens, carpets, sofa covers.
3- Grow live plants in your home that attract negative ions, especially ferns and plants that remain green.
4- Provide good air circulation in your home by opening windows or using a fan, not air conditioning.
5- Take a shower or do swimming sports often. Dealing with water allows a large amount of negative ions to be produced.
6- Take regular walks, ride a bike or uncover your car. Air movement provides a cleaner and negative ion environment.
7- Avoid staying in air-conditioned offices and stores for a long time, where negative ions move away.
It is not only our artificial environment that increases the amount of positive ions, but sudden increases in the amount of positive ions often accompany pre-storm pressure drops. Of course, you cannot avoid barometric pressure changes. However, when you hear the storm approaching on the weather news, avoid being outdoors as much as possible in those days.
