Grounding - How touching the Earth gives you mega gains
/Grounding or earthing refers to direct contact with the surface of the Earth, such as bare feet on grass, swimming in the ocean or connecting to Earth with conductive material, like copper.
Studies demonstrate, and people claim (myself included), that grounding enhances aspects of health like sleep and mood, chronic pain and inflammation, wound healing and exercise recovery, circadian rhythms and blood glucose, and other benefits.
The hypothesis: The planet has an unlimited supply of free electrons (negatively charged particles). Touching the planet permits these electrons to flow into our bodies. As free electrons enter our bodies, they bond with free radicals. Free radicals are positively charged and highly reactive because they lack electrons. Free radicals damage everything they touch. This process of the Earth donating electrons to free radicals, rendering them harmless, is anti-oxidation. In other words, planet Earth is the biggest antioxidant ever. It’s also free…unlimited…and everywhere.
