Story at-a-glance
- Walking barefoot outside or using conductive systems that transfer the Earth's electrons from the ground into your body, known as Earthing or grounding, is emerging as an essential element to good health
- Going barefoot allows you to “ground” with the Earth and absorb free electrons directly through the soles of your feet; this type of grounding has one of the most potent antioxidant effects we know of and may also reduce inflammation throughout your body
- Research shows grounding may play a profoundly beneficial role in sleep disturbances, stress relief, pain relief, heart rhythm, immune response and much more
- If you can’t walk outside barefoot due to weather or during air travel, a grounding pad can be used to harness the benefits of the Earth’s electrons even if you’re indoors

When's the last time you kicked off your shoes and reveled in the feeling of the Earth under your feet?Been awhile?It may sound hard to believe, but engaging in this simple pleasure could give your health a much-needed boost.Often it is the case that engaging in activities that feel good on an intrinsic level really are good for your health -- like the feeling of the afternoon sun warming your bare skin.Walking barefoot outside, with the soles of your feet free to mesh with the surface of the Earth – an activity known as Earthing, or grounding -- is another such case.I have been personally intrigued with grounding for nearly seven years and have been seeking to ground myself most of the time.This is a fascinating leading-edge concept, and I would strongly encourage you to carefully read the featured article for more details.
