Description
For most of human history, we were closely connected to the earth, spending a great deal of time barefoot and in physical contact with nature. However, around 1960, the use of plastics in shoes, carpets, and other products started to become widespread, thereby creating a barrier between our bodies and the earth. Over the past six decades, another trend has emerged: a significant increase in autoimmune disorders and other inflammation-related health conditions. While the two trends may not initially seem to be related, several studies have indicated that by re-establishing our physical connection with the earth through a practice called “grounding” (or earthing), we may be able to reduce inflammation and access a wide variety of benefits. After health challenges drove him to retire from his career in the cable TV industry at age 54, Clint Ober embarked on a journey to heal his body and find a higher purpose in life. Recalling his childhood in the 1950s – when spending time barefoot was far more common – Clint began to explore how the disruption in our natural state of being grounded to the earth could impact our health. In Episode 90 of The MINDSet Game® podcast, Clint discusses: The science behind grounding and how physical contact with the earth affects various processes in the body, thereby reducing inflammation, alleviating pain and stress, and enhancing overall well-being How various studies conducted on subjects ranging from premature babies to elite athletes have demonstrated the power of grounding Practices and products that can help you incorporate grounding into your daily life To learn more about grounding or to purchase the products that Clint recommends, visit https://www.ultimatelongevity.com.
