Being near moving water is PROVEN to make you:
Happier, breathe better, less fat, more alert and conscious, more energetic, have better immune function, sleep, and so much more.
Moving water is an absolute life force.
Why is this all the case?
MASTER THREAD
Many understand that being near moving water, whether it be crashing waves, a flowing river, or a heavy rainstorm, feels amazing for your breath, mind, and body.
This feeling is widely accepted but not widely understood.
Most people just think that being near moving water is healthy because of the beauty that the water brings.
But it is actually because of a little something called negative ionization.
When water collides with itself (think crashing waves, flowing rivers, waterfalls, rain), it tosses something called negative ions up into the air.
If we are near that moving water, we breathe in those negative ions, reaping many benefits from doing so.
So what are negative ions and how do they help us?
To answer that question, we will start by discussing what positive ions are.
Positive ions are small molecules with, of course, a positive charge.
Most forms of toxic chemicals, mold, pollution, and other harmful chemicals that are in the air have a positive electrical charge, making them positive ions.
Positive ions can be generated by air conditioning, cell phones, paint, pollution and much more.
These positive ions can lead to tons of issues including headaches, anxiety, problems breathing, lack of energy, poor focus, and much more.
This is where negative ions come in.
Negative ions are the opposite of positive ions.
When negative ions are released in the air, they bind to the pollutants that may be floating in the air and give them a negative charge, grounding them and literally making them fall to the ground.
This takes the pollutants out of the air and leaves more negative ions in their place.
Air by the sea has been found to have 100x fewer germs than its land-locked counterparts.
You can feel how clean the air looks in this image.
But what do these negative ions do for us?
When we inhale negative ions, we boost an incredible amount of health functions in our bodies.
Negative ions have been studied for around 100 years with beliefs of life-giving powers.
Many recent studies have found immense benefits.
A 2018 review of hundreds of years worth of studies found negative ionization can:
-regulate sleep patterns
-regulate mood
-boost immune system function
-increase metabolism
-kill growth of harmful bacteria
-increase cognition
-reduce depression
In general, breathing in negative ions just makes you feel better, perform better, and live better.
But you already knew this. Even if you didn't.
You feel it every time you breathe in clean air.
Much of our modern problems come from being inside and cut off from nature, including negative ionization.
I do not believe our health epidemic would be as bad as it is today if it wasnโ€™t for us being cut off from nature and negative ionization.
Science is just at the tip of the iceberg of what negative ionization can do for us.
Nature was truly created without flaw, and our bodies are built to interact with it constantly.
Ignoring nature, as modern societies have done, is what has led to disease.
Cancers, fatness, depression.
None of these occured to those that lived fully in nature thousands of years ago.
We were built alongside nature and it heals us and takes care of us better than we could possibly imagine.
While negative ions are absolutely produced by moving water, that is not the only way.
Negative ions can also be produced by thunderclaps, growth of plants, and even UV light (yet they want you scared of it) and beeswax candles!
Nature is the ultimate doctor.
You need to be maximizing your exposure to negative ions.
Still donโ€™t believe me? Simple. Go outside near a river and let me know how it makes you feel.
Sincerely,
@realpungao
