You know how the air feels so nice and crisp after rainfall? or if you're near a waterfall, fountain, forest or beach? That is because of NEGATIVE AIR IONS. These ions are produced by various parts of nature: • Solar energy • Water shear forces • Plant generated These negative air ions act as natural air purifiers. They reducing the amount of particulate matter in the air. This particulate matter can directly induce inflammation within cells - almost like a toxin would. Particulate matter also directly creates free radicals that contribute to oxidative stress. Studies have shown that particular matter can act on other pathways relevant to cancer including: • p53 • TGF-β • Wnt/β-Catenin & more. Most importantly: particulate matter shuts off energy metabolism in the mitochondria. This is all likely because particulate matter often contains toxins: • Heavy metals • Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons Just to name a few. These air negative ions effectively reduce this particulate matter, but what's more is they also have direct benefits on our physiology. After inhalation they can pair up with endogenous free radicals and thus act as antioxidants. They also directly improve energy metabolism. Studies have shown that negative air ions can lower lactic acid production during exercise. They're also • Anti-inflammatory • Lower blood pressure • Reduce fatigue • Promote pulmonary function, even being shown to improve breathing in smokers. They can even act as anti-depressants, which makes a lot of sense if you've ever been hit with that feeling. This is all tied together by the fact that they can lower serotonin systemically. The lungs degrade lots of serotonin and serotonin is often high in pulmonary disease. Just another reason why going out in nature is amazing.

Listening to music stimulates brain cell growth, reduces neuroinflammation and improves anxiety & depression, as shown in a new study. The study used a well established model of postpartum depression, with some animals listening to music for 2 hours per day. The music was "a comprehensive range of musical styles spanning various historical periods, including the Baroque, Classical, and Romantic eras." Every single metric of depression anxiety measured improved. ◇ Increased open field center time & travel distance → reduced anxiety ◇ Decreased immobility in forced swim test → less depression-like despair ◇ More entries into open arms in elevated plus maze → reduced anxiety ◇ Higher sucrose preference → less anhedonia (antidepressant effect) ◇ Shorter latency to eat in novelty-suppressed feeding → reduced anxiety/motivation restored ◇ Less immobility in tail suspension test → less behavioral despair But it wasn't just a subjective assessment - the brains of the animals listening to music improved in biochemical metrics. Notably, in measures of oxidative stress and energy production. ◇ Reduced NO & MDA → less oxidative damage ◇ Normalized SOD & CAT activity → restored antioxidant defense ◇ Preserved GSH levels → protection against ROS ◇ Maintained T-AOC → overall antioxidant capacity preserved ◇ Higher ATP → better mitochondrial energy metabolism ◇ Lowered glutamate → less excitotoxicity / stress signaling Markers of inflammation in the brain also normalized with music. This is one of the key drivers of not just depression anxiety, but tons of other mental / cognitive disorders. ◇ Lower TNF-α, IL-1β, iNOS expression → reduced neuroinflammation ◇ Fewer activated microglia → the key immune cells of the brain I've written here about how neuroinflammation contributes to brain fog and fatigue as well. What is really crazy about this is that music prevented brain cells from dying. It improves the brain's structural integrity: ◇ Preserved MAP2 neurons in hippocampus & prefrontal cortex → less neuronal loss ◇ Maintained dendritic spine density → synaptic plasticity preserved ◇ Preserved DCX neurons → ongoing neurogenesis (new brain cells) ◇ Lower Bax & higher Bcl-2 expression → reduced apoptosis (cell death) Music altered the expression of THOUSANDS of genes within the brain. Some of these genes encode key proteins essential for the health, function and development of cells in the brain. In the hippocampus (main memory storing region): ◇ Wnt6 ↑ → supports synapse formation & plasticity, limits inflammation ◇ Sele ↓ → less immune cell adhesion / neuroinflammation ◇ Sfrp5 ↓ → removes brake on Wnt, boosts neurogenesis & repair ◇ Nupr1 ↑ → stress-response, protects against oxidative stress In the cortex (higher thinking brain region, consciousness, complex problem solving): ◇ Eya4 ↑ → aids synaptic repair & plasticity ◇ Lhx8 ↑ → regulates cholinergic neurons & synaptic function The research on the benefits of music are accumulating. ➥ Better pain tolerance ➥ Lower stress hormones ➥ Better cognitive function Are all being noted in the research. While most studies are done on classical music, this study has shown that a wide range of genres has powerful benefits. So, get to listening. 🎵
