Embrace the Negative

Salt Lamps Available at Herbs & Things...

Why Salt Lamps? They produce Negative Ions

Negative Ions...what are they and why would we want them in our life?
Negative Ions, are odorless, tasteless, invisible molecules found in nature that we inhale from our environment and are especially abundant near mountains, forests, waterfalls, beaches and after a rain.
It's the negative ions that give you the feeling of peace and that over all sense of well being when walking near a beach, waterfalls, a mountain, in a forest, or that wonderful feeling everyone has experienced of being energize and happy walking outside after it rains.

So what do Negative Ions do? It is so ingrained in us to get rid of the negative, why would we want these?
Often we are subjected to mold spores, pollen, pet dander, odors, cigarette smoke, bacteria, viruses, dust and other hazardous airborne particles, produced in the, environment, home and work place. Emitted through auto emissions, air conditioning, televisions, computers, clothes dryers, carpet and upholstery to name a few...Hence here comes the negative ions to the rescue...with their oxygen atoms charged with an extra electron.
Negative Ions, attach themselves to harmful particles of dust, allergens, etc and make them too heavy to stay airborne, causing them to drop down to the floor or earth, or attach to a nearby surface, which removes them from the air we breathe. Lessening the possibility of respiratory problems and other health issues.

What are the health benefits of negative ions:
Negative Ions are natural anti-depressants, that increase your sense of well-being and mental clarity, because they clear the air of potential bad stuff.
By clearing the air, they help us to breathe better, thus deep breath causes health benefits, such as a relaxing effect to help normalize breathing rate, decrease blood pressure and relieve tensions.
Because negative ions are also absorbed directly into the bloodstream when breathed in, they help to combat harmful free radicals within your body and may treat Seasonal Affective Disorder
Negative Ions help with better sleep. A French study found using negative ionizers could help you to sleep better, due to their positive effects in normalizing serotonin production in the brain.

Being exposed to high levels of negative ions , you may perform better mentally...think how you feel after a walk in nature...sharp, happy and good... right:)

Eggs are Bad....NOT

For years now, we've been told eating the whole egg is bad for us.
I ask...how can one of natures perfectly packed in it's own 'wrapping' be bad for us.
It's a gift from our creator, for us, just as all the animals, plants, waters and all of nature is, as He indicated when he made the covenant with Noah. 

New research shows, eggs are packed with nutritional value and actually help fight bad cholesterol and heart disease... they are GOOD for us.
