Why does David Beckham wear cheap rubber wristband?

Soccer star David Beckham has been spotted sporting a cheap rubber wristband because it enhances the body's positive frequencies and block out negative ones from devices such as mobile telephones and radios.

The 35-year-old seen wearing the Power Balance bracelet while in Hollywood with wife Victoria, 36, and TV chef Gordon Ramsay. The band, which costs about £30, is meant to "optimise natural energy" and is popular with sports stars, reports thesun.co.uk

Sports stars including Beckham, Real Madrid's Cristiano Ronaldo, basketball legend Shaquille O'Neal and Formula 1 racer Rubens ­Barrichello have been wearing the bracelets at work and play.

Even Hollywood stars Robert De Niro, Gerard Butler, Demi Moore and Kate Middleton have taken to wearing 'mystical' black silicone wrist bands, which they believe will boost their performance.

The bands incorporate a hologram which its manufacturer claims is 'infused with healing and restorative powers', reports dailymail.co.uk.
