Modern humans are insulated from the earth by rubber-soled shoes and elevated floors. Grounding involves direct skin contact with the surface of the earth (grass, sand, soil). The theory is simple: the earth carries a negative charge. When you touch it, free electrons flow into your body, acting as potent antioxidants that neutralize free radicals. Studies show grounding can reduce inflammation, lower cortisol, and improve blood flow. It’s the simplest, free biohack available.
