Christina's World : off & on
Seashore
There's something in the air and while it may not be love,
some say it's the next best thing -- negative ions.
You may have experienced the power of negative ions when you last set foot on the beach or at the mountains. While part of the euphoria is simply being around the wondrous settings and away from the normal pressures of home and work, the air circulating in the mountains and the beach is said to contain tens of thousands of negative ions -- Much more than the average home or office building, which contain dozens or hundreds, and many register a flat zero.
Negative ions are odorless, tasteless, and invisible molecules that we inhale in abundance in certain environments. Think mountains, waterfalls, and beaches. Once they reach our bloodstream, negative ions are believed to produce biochemical reactions that increase levels of the mood chemical serotonin, helping to alleviate depression, relieve stress, and boost our daytime energy.
