Sometimes some of the simplest acts produce profound results… Did you know the energy from the Earth can help you live a healthier life? Did you know the Earth has energy to give?
In the short documentary ”Down to Earth”, experts speak about the concepts of grounding or earthing as being a super simple yet commonly overlooked way to protect and improve health.
Grounding is literally putting your bare feet on the ground. You absorb and come in contact with the Earth and it’s electrons that will be absorbed by your feet.
Research suggests that a general lack of grounding has to do with the rise of modern disease. It is not unusual for Americans to go days/weeks without being grounded. It’s unnatural, we are organic beings. When you are grounded, free electrons from the earth are transferred into your body and these free electrons are some of the most potent antioxidants known to man!
Studies show that grounding can help:~ Improve sleep~Reduce muscle soreness/stiffness~Reduce chronic pain~Normalize secretion of cortisol~Speed up wound healing and repair~Improve mood~Reduce inflammation
There are even more benefits to grounding that are not mentioned here. Exercising outdoors is a beautiful way to incorporate grounding into your daily life, or you can simply take off your shoes as much as you can and take advantage of the natural healing potential of our Earth!
Happy Earth Day and enjoy your spring!
