Benefits of Negative Ions

"Negative ions increase the flow of oxygen to the brain; resulting in higher alertness, decreased drowsiness, and more mental energy," says Pierce J. Howard, PhD, author of The Owners Manual for the Brain: Everyday Applications from Mind Brain Research and director of research at the Center for Applied Cognitive Sciences in Charlotte, N.C.
"They also may protect against germs in the air, resulting in decreased irritation due to inhaling various particles that make you sneeze, cough, or have a throat irritation.
And for a whopping one in three of us who are sensitive to their effects, negative ions can make us feel like we are walking on air. You are one of them if you feel instantly refreshed the moment you open a window and breathe in fresh, humid air.
You may be one of them if you feel sleepy when you are around an air-conditioner, but feel immediately refreshed and invigorated when you step outside or roll down the car window," Howard says. "Air conditioning depletes the atmosphere of negative ions, but an ion generator re-releases the ions that air conditioners remove."

Negative ions are created in nature with air molecules broken apart from sunlight, radiation, and moving air or water. In
"The action of the pounding surf creates negative air ions and we also see it immediately after spring thunderstorms when people report lightened moods," says ion researcher Michael Terman, PhD, of Columbia University in New York.
In a study conducted by Columbia University, 25 people with SAD (Seasonal Affective Depression) sat in front of a negative ion air purifier for a half hour every morning for a month. Half the subjects were given a low level of negative ions, and the other half a high level. The higher level of negative ion treatment proved to be as effective against SAD as antidepressants, such as Prozac and Zoloft, and without the side effects of these drugs.
Negative ions are odorless tasteless molecules that are breathed into our respiratory system. High concentrations of negative ions can be found in nature in mountain forests, waterfalls, and beaches where people feel energized and invigorated, which helps relieve stress, alleviate depression, boost energy.

Water Activities for kids... and their parents

An important issue in child development is maintaining a normal weight by developing healthy habits. - One way is to encourage their participation in physical activities.

Water sport, exercise or just playing in water can be very effective for children, because:

• They are highly challenging and fun,
• The water resistance helps burn fat and tone muscle with less effort,
• Children benefit from sun and the fresh air developed by the water evaporation.

Water activities can improve your child's long-term mental and physical health in many ways:

• Water activities can correct and prevent childhood obesity
• Sport increases self-esteem in youth and reduces anxiety and stress
• Children involved in physical challenging activities have higher grades and better behaviors

Ion Detox Therapy

Ion detoxification is a complementary modality that benefits patient’s overall well being.  The Ion Detox is a water bath that cleanses, balances and enhances the bio-energy present in the body. This energy is the electro-magnetic force that is stored inside the body and utilized by our cells.  The Ion Detox is used to increase energy (both physical and mental energy), vitality and stamina, while at the same time, it purges (detoxifies) the body of toxins, chemicals, radiation, pollution, synthetics, and other foreign materials trapped in the tissues of the body that hinders the body’s self-cleansing mechanism. During the Ion Detox foot bath, water interacts with a compound electric current and magnetic field structure. This body cleansing process results in the correct frequency required for the body cells to return to a healthy state, and to release wastes that have been bonded to them over the years. It is noteworthy that the Ion Detoxification as a therapeutic procedure requires no intake of medicine and can also enhance the effects of other therapies.

Why detoxify?
Current research studies are finding that many of today's diseases and health problems are linked to an over-burden of environmental toxins in the body. Our food, water and air contain large amounts of environmental toxins that easily enter our bodies.

Detox your Body NOW!

Everybody needs:

Hydrate: X2O sachets actually make water "wetter" by lowering the surface tension of water molecules. This dramatically increases your water's ability to hydrate your body at the cellular level.

pH Defined: pH simply means potential hydrogen. Every one-point decrease on the pH scale is 10 times more acidic. For example, a drop from 7.0 to 2.0 is 100,000 times more acidic for your body!

Mineralize: Every Sachet of X2O contains calcium, magnesium, and over 70 trace minerals. These essential minerals (electrolytes) become ionic in water allowing them to be absorbed quickly and easily by your body.
X2O is delivered in a pure ionic form, which means it is immediately bioavailable to the body. X2O may also help your body to:

Revitalize: Alkalinity = good health. X2O transforms your water into a powerful alkaline beverage, which fights against the physical stress caused by today's fast-paced lifestyles.
