Take A Walk

One of the lovely childhood memories of summer, is walking barefoot in the grass or in the sand at the seashore.We came across an article we thought you would find interesting and possibly quite helpful as well….we certainly thought it was  :-):

“Remember the guy in college who went barefoot everywhere? He may have seemed eccentric, but it turns out he was on to something.

Walking barefoot, also known as “earthing,” has gone from being a kooky counter-culture trend, to a scientifically-researched practice with a number of remarkable health advantages, such as increasing antioxidants, reducing inflammation, and improving sleep.

Earthing means walking barefoot on soil, grass or sand (meaning: any natural surface). So we’ll have to get off the sidewalk. Early studies are showing that the health benefits come from the relationship between our bodies and the electrons in the earth. The planet has its own natural charge, and we seem to do better when we’re in direct contact with it.”

Here ‘s to some long and happy walks this summer!
