Can a sunset cruise or ferry ride on San Francisco Bay really lower a person's stress levels? The following except on WebMD reveals the answer is yes, as there is documented evidence of the health benefits and stress relieving effects negative ions have on our brains:
"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."
