Combat Reductive Stress for Optimal Energy
Reducing reductive stress is essential for enhancing mitochondrial energy production. Many individuals face varying levels of this stress, which results from an excess of electrons in the electron transport chain, hindering the process of oxygen extraction and water formation. This condition can significantly decrease the expected energy yield from glucose oxidation, which tops at a theoretical maximum of 32 ATP molecules. Addressing reductive stress is crucial, prompting the question of effective solutions. Two potential methods emerge, with one being the practice of grounding or earthing, popularized by Clint Ober. This concept suggests that grounding may help manage electron surplus by drawing in electrons from the Earth, thus promoting better energy production.
