What happens when you touch the earth with bare feet? 👣

It’s not just about feeling grounded or recharging emotionally—it’s an actual biological experience happening at a lightning-fast speed.

🔬 The Instant Power of Grounding:
- When you touch the earth, your body absorbs electrons from the ground almost instantaneously. These electrons act like tiny shields, coating your red blood cells to make sure they don’t stick together. This helps to:

1️⃣ Lower blood viscosity
• Making it easier for your heart to pump blood, leading to better circulation.

2️⃣ Reduce blood pressure
• The reduced viscosity means less stress on the cardiovascular system.

3️⃣ Support overall cardiovascular health
• From the heart to the smallest blood vessels, grounding can help reduce inflammation and improve blood flow.

⚡️ Why Does It Happen So Fast?
- The earth’s electrons enter your body at lightning speed, coating your red blood cells before you can even blink. That’s why the effects on blood circulation and pressure are often felt right away.

🦶 How to Ground Yourself:
• Walk barefoot on grass, sand, or even dirt,
• Lay on the ground,
• Try grounding mats or sheets.

Quick tips:

🔅 Best done outside
– The more skin contact with the ground, the better!
🔅 Avoid concrete and asphalt
– These surfaces block electron transfer.
🔅 Combine grounding with other practices like yoga or meditation.

🌱 Sometimes, the simplest solutions are right under our feet.

So next time you’re outside, kick off those shoes and let the earth do the healing! 🌍👣😃

Your brain and your body are one!
And so your mental health and physical health are one!!
The food you eat directly affects the quality of your neurotransmitters. By supporting your physical health with real whole foods, supplying optimal nutrition, you not only reduce inflammation but also are supporting your brain health.

Your gut contains millions of bacteria, many of which produce hormones and chemical signals that travel to your brain via the vagus nerve. These bacteria often come from the foods we eat. And the foods we eat feeds the right bacteria. Eating the wrong so called 'foods' such as processed and sugary foods and seed oils which are deplete in quality nutrients feeds the wrong sort of bacteria in our gut. Having the right bacteria in our gut translates to reduced anxiety and we are able to manage stress easily. We can even feel more relaxed and be able to sleep better.

And so the quality of the food we eat is important if we want a clear mind, the ability to think clearly, concentrate and focus.

In fact, our whole body health can be affected by the food we eat. Processed and sugary foods mess with our hormones upsetting the balance of blood sugars, digestion and metabolism (by affecting our thyroid system).

Eating foods that the body recognises as good nutrition makes a healthy body and mind!
