GROUNDING

Do you notice you feel better when you walk barefoot on the Earth? Recent research has explained why this happens.

Your immune system functions optimally when your body has an adequate supply of electrons, which are easily and naturally obtained by barefoot contact with the Earth.

Research indicates that electrons from the Earth have antioxidant effects that can protect your body from inflammation and its many well-documented health consequences. Living in direct contact with the earth grounds your body, inducing favorable physiological and electrophysiological changes that promote optimum health.

Being in direct contact with the earth is called grounding or earthing.

It is simply the act of placing your bare feet on the earth, or walking barefoot. When you do, free electrons are transferred from the earth into your body, and this grounding effect may be a potent antioxidants. Rubber soles disconnect you from the earth, leather soles do not. So you can still find shoes that allow you to remain grounded without going barefoot.

Grounding has numerous benefits, aside from creating a general feeling of well-being. For example, walking barefoot can help ameliorate the constant assault of electromagnetic fields and other types of radiation from cell phones, computers and Wi-Fi.

Some of the problems that occur when you aren’t grounded are: heart disease, digestive problems, sleep problems, depression, weight problems, autoimmune diseases, anxiety, restlessness, lack of motivation or focus, irritability or anger, drug or alcohol abuse, tobacco use, social withdrawal, fatigue, change in sex drive and feeling stressed out all of the time.

According to the American Institute of Stress, over 75% of all visits to primary care physicians are now for stress related health conditions. The description of stress is; a state of continuous anxiety and nervousness in which muscles become and remain tensed. Stress is now confirmed to be a primary contributor to cardiovascular disease, cancer, gastrointestinal, skin, neurological and emotional disorders, and a host of disorders linked to immune system, disturbances ranging from the common cold and herpes, to arthritis and AIDS.

In the late 1960s, when humans were first widely diagnosed as being stressed, synthetic soled shoes, carpets and the like had just become popular and the use of electricity and household electrical devices tripled from the previous generation.

In the book called "Earthing" by Martin Zucker, you experience the flow of the earth’s electric energy connecting to your physical body, which promotes healing and creates a deep sense of well-being within us.

According to Zucker, research has shown significant improvements in inflammation-related disorders, chronic pain, sleep disorders, low energy, high stress, muscle tension, headache relief, hormonal and menstrual symptoms, protection from EMF’s and many more health-related issues all by direct daily contact with the earth.
