Understanding Grounding and the Body's Electrical Nature
The body operates electrically, with every aspect, including the brain, muscles, and cells, functioning based on electrical activity. When the body is grounded to the earth, it adopts a negative charge, benefiting from the earth's negative surface charge. Grounding allows the body to absorb and equalize with the earth's electrons, helping in reducing free radicals and inflammation.
The Significance of Grounding in Reducing Pain and Discomfort
Grounding, especially through direct contact with the earth, has shown significant benefits in reducing pain and discomfort in individuals. By facilitating the flow of electrons and reducing inflammation, grounding can lead to improved sleep quality, reduced pain levels, and overall well-being. Research has demonstrated that grounding can alleviate conditions like arthritis, improving individuals' health outcomes.
Impact of Grounding on Inflammation and Health Conditions
Grounding has proven to have a profound effect on reducing inflammation in the body, which is linked to various health conditions. By restoring the body's balance and reducing excess radicals, grounding helps in managing and even resolving inflammatory health disorders. The body's immune response and overall balance can be positively influenced through consistent grounding practices.
Practical Applications of Grounding and Product Innovations
Incorporating grounding into daily routines can be achieved through various means, such as using grounding mats, pads, or patches. Products like pillow covers, grounding mats for placement under desks or while working, and even grounded sandals offer convenient ways to stay connected to the earth's electrical charge. These innovations aim to make grounding accessible and simple for individuals seeking its health benefits.
Effects of Grounding on Inflammation and Health
Grounding or connecting with the earth is highlighted as a significant practice that can help reduce inflammation and improve overall health, particularly for women over 30. The podcast touches on the daily stresses women face, such as dealing with work, family, and environmental factors leading to a build-up of cortisol in the body. It emphasizes the importance of grounding practices like sitting barefoot outdoors for 30 minutes to drain inflammation and promote well-being.
Lessons from Native American Traditions and Importance of Nature for Children
The podcast delves into lessons learned from Native American traditions, emphasizing their deep connection to nature and holistic view of the world. The importance of teaching children the value of grounding and spending time outdoors is highlighted, especially in a modern age dominated by technology. The detrimental effects of reduced outdoor activities on children's health, including rising rates of diabetes, allergies, and anxiety, are discussed, underscoring the crucial role of nature in promoting well-being.
Today's guest is Clinton Ober, the CEO of Earth FX Inc., a research and development company located in Palm Springs, California. He first learned of grounding when installing Cable TV systems in Billings, Montana in the early 1960’s. A decade later, he formed Telecrafter Corporation and built it into the largest provider of cable installation services in the United States. This company specialized in proper grounding of cable installations for safety and TV signal stability. Over the past twenty years, he has supported a host of research studies (Earthing Institute) that collectively demonstrate that grounding alone reduces inflammation and promotes normal functioning of all body systems.
