Grounding benefits

The Earth and your body are both electromagnetically charged. When walking or spending time barefoot, you are directly connected to the Earth's surface and a transfer of free negatively charged electrons can enter your body. It not only feels really nice but there's a lot going on in the background:

• Blood viscosity is reduced, making it easier for your heart to pump blood

• Faster recovery from exercise and wound healing

• Blood pressure decreases

• Reduced inflammation and stress

• Sleep quality, mood, and immunity are improved

• Free radicals are neutralized

• The level of fatigue decreases

• Symptoms of chronic pain and autoimmune diseases are decreased

• Walking barefoot trains your feet muscles and consequently improves your posture & joint health

• Balances circadian rhythm

• Helps your body shift to parasympathetic activation

Research shows that only 45min a day of conductive contact with the Earth's surface already shows therapeutic effects. There are also some gadgets that can aid people in grounding ranging from grounding sheets to grounding shoes.
