BENEFITS OF GLORIOUS GROUNDING

.and my favourite wellbeing tip at this time of the year? Barefoot walking on the grass! Barefoot strolls, in grass or on the ocean's edge is aptly known as 'grounding' and is a gloriously efficient way of discharging  the stress-causing positive ions we accumulate from mobile phones, computers and ambient wifi. Being exposed to electronic devices all day and often all night depletes the body of antioxidants and overloads it with harmful free radicals which can interfere with sleep, lower immunity, lead to chronic inflammation and increase your risk of degenerative disease - so how nice that something as simple as a daily stroll in soft, dew-fresh grass is a scientifically proven way to release the excess positive charge into the ground and rebalance yourself body and soul! PS. Walking barefoot on grass for a few minutes every day also helps induce deep and restful sleep, as physical contact with the earth’s surface helps reduce the levels of the stress hormone cortisol in the body as well as help reset our circadian rythmns, which explains the efficacy of earthing for the promotion of sound sleep.. besides which, it just feels so good!
