Why are ions important to life?

Answer 1

Ions are atoms or molecules that have either picked up or dropped an electron, small negative ions are essential to good health and can speed up the healing process. It should be noted that if negative ions are overtaken by positive ions, the side effects may include lethargy. rapid bacteria growth and lowered resistance to infection. Ideally, our air should contain a balance of five positive and four negative ions. However, factors like electrical fields, pollution and air conditioning severely deplete negative ions.
