Walking Barefoot
When was the last time you kicked off your shoes and reveled in the feeling of the Earth under your feet?
Have you observed that that you feel better when you walk barefoot on the Earth?
Recent research has explained that your immune system functions optimally when your body has an adequate supply of electrons, which are easily and naturally obtained by barefoot contact with the Earth.
Research indicates that electrons from the Earth have antioxidant effects that can protect your body from inflammation.
Walking barefoot outside, with the soles of your feet free to mesh with the surface of the Earth is an activity known as Earthing, or grounding..
We are Electrical Beings. The Earth's Surface is Electrically Conductive. Our body regularly produces positive charges, which can oxidize and harm us if it is excessive.. The Earth's surface is electrically conductive; it maintains a negative charge with its free electron supply continually replenished by the global atmospheric electrical circuit.
When you are in direct contact with the ground (walking, sitting, or laying down on the earth’s surface) the earth’s electrons are conducted to your body. Living in direct contact with the earth grounds your body, inducing favorable physiological and electrophysiological changes that promote optimum health.

For most of our evolutionary history, humans have had continuous contact with the Earth. It is only recently that substances such as asphalt, wood, rugs, and plastics have separated us from this contact.
There is growing research showing that this connection to the Earth's surface plays a vital role in preventing disease and offers a host of benefits from improved sleep to pain relief.
