You are missing out on the simplest health hack known to man.
Your ancestors unintentionally used this simple trick to revitalize themselves and stay connected to the Earth.
Grounding is a therapeutic technique that involves electrically connecting with the Earth by walking barefoot on the planetโ€™s surface and absorbing free electrons from its surface.
Here are 5 ways this ancient practice will transform your health into a primal god. ๐Ÿ‘‡
1. Reduces inflammation.
Free radicals, which are unstable molecules that can cause damage to cells, create inflammation.
Grounding helps transfer electrons from the Earth into your body, which can act as antioxidants, neutralizing free radicals and reducing inflammation.
2. Boosts your mood.
Electromagnetic fields can create a stress response and elevate cortisol.
Being in direct contact with the earth neutralizes those fields and lowers your cortisol, leading to feeling less stressed + a feeling of wellbeing.
3. Improves sleep.
Grounding helps synchronize your bodyโ€™s internal clock with the natural light-dark cycle.
This helps regulate melatonin (the main sleep hormone).
It also supports sleep quality & duration, which is an important part of regulating your circadian rhythm.
4. Boosts your immune system.
Iโ€™ve already mentioned the anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects of reconnecting with the Earth, but grounding also influences the autonomic nervous system.
This helps promote overall physiological balance and supports immune function.
5. Improves energy.
Being outside in general and ESPECIALLY if youโ€™re spending time intentionally reconnecting with the Earth elicits a dopamine response and an increase in energy.
This is the RIGHT kind of dopamine.
Grounding will help you:
1. Reduce inflammation
2. Boost your mood
3. Improve sleep
4. Boost immune function
5. Improve energy
