RE: Lose Your Shoes - The Benefits Of Being Barefoot
Wow, you really go all out there... where did you find this earthing sheet? And why are the grass days long gone? On that note, I read somewhere people still can benefits from going barefoot for even a few minutes a day in grass - although certainly going all out like you is probably better! It sounds like you must work from home then? It might be hard going barefoot to an office job :P
I go barefoot when I'm in a park, but that's usually about the extent of my caveman feet freedom. Otherwise, I'll do the next best thing which is wearing the five finger toe shoes as much as possible. It's funny, I haven't worn "normal" sneakers with lots of cushioning in a couple years, and now I just tried some gym shoes on for the first time and it wasn't comfortable at all! Even though I loved how they looked on me, I just couldn't do it... returned them 2 days later.
The earthing sheet is from here: http://www.groundology.co.uk/products
What I meant by the grass days is that few people sleep with their body in direct contact with the earth any more. Well, certainly not in the western world.
And yes, even just a few mins a day will play a part in returning your body to its correct voltage.
Very cool, thanks for sharing that! I'll check that out. Yep, as someone who works on the computer all day, I do enjoy going out and being barefoot on grass/in nature but I definitely need to make a point of doing it on as close to a daily basis if possible.
They also make grounding mats which sit under your desk so your bare feet can be on this as you work and your natural voltage will be unaffected despite all the electricity flowing around you. I don't actually have one of those yet however! Probably not that hard to make yourself if you're keen.
Aaaand another nice tip! I hadn't heard of grounding mats, I do use a safe sleeve for my computer and cell phone though.
just googled it and found this one - looks good https://www.earthing.com/universal-mat-with-cover-kit.html/ will seriously consider ordering.
Not exactly cheap but I'm sure it's worth it, there's no better investment than your health :) I wouldn't know the first thing about how to make one myself by the way.
Another thing - I just realized my apartment has hardwood floors... would that be considered grounding as well since it is natural? No idea, do you know?
