Earthing: The benefits of being naked

[url=][/url] We've been doing it for thousands of years... or at least our ancestor's have – 'Earthing' or having the naked body come into regular contact with the soil, grass, rocks and sand, that is. And it's long been established that even walking bare-foot can have a dramatic effect on positive health. Here are 7 benefits to being naked and getting in-touch, literally, to mother-Earth... Better Sleep: People who sleep naked are said to have improvements in their sleep patterns. Dr. Martin Zucker offers testimonials and discusses scientific studies that support earthing as a means to improve sleep. Improve Pranah: The human body runs on energy, just like everything else. Our bodies tend to maintain a positive electrical charge, which means that we are constantly in need of electrons to balance our bioenergetic system, which comes from the earth. Improve circulation and thyroid health: When your whole foot is able to touch the ground, you’ll have better blood flow to your lower extremities. Improving your circulation can decrease circulatory problems in your legs. Grounding enables your blood cells to move more freely. Longevity and natural food guru, David Wolfe, has videos on Youtube which highlight the dramatic effects of grounding on the blood and thyroid. Manage Stress: Getting out into nature helps you handle stress. The positive effects of being naked, especially outdoors, can be enhanced if you are without clothes. Studies have shown too, that walking barefoot on the soil, sand, or grass, activates your parasympathetic nervous system, which signals your body and mind to calm itself. Plus, it just feels GREAT to be bare-naked. Boost your immune system: Research by Oschman, Chevalier, and Brown shows grounding improves immunity and decreases inflammation. Controlled experiments demonstrate grounding can lessen muscle soreness after an intense workout and speed up healing times for other injuries. Reduce Chronic Pain: Inflammation is at the root of most chronic diseases, like cancer, diabetes, arthritis, lupus. By decreasing inflammation, you can break the cycle that exacerbates these diseases. Dr. Clinton Ober’s work on earthing has demonstrated substantial improvements in chronic pain patients through earthing. End Adrenal Fatigue: Grounding reduces the stress hormone, Cortisol, which naturally occurs in the body, but as with many aspects of your delicate system, it can make you feel bad if it presents in high levels. Extended periods of increased cortisol levels can make you sluggish throughout the day, and can lead to weight gain. So there you have it! Time to get naked, no excesses!
