Experience relief in your stress, blood pressure, diabetes, body pains, joint pains and a couple of autoimmune disorders, simply by establishing Bare foot contact with the earth.

The Earth’s surface contains a limitless number of free electrons that are continually replenished through solar radiation and lightening strikes; your body naturally absorbs these particles when you make physical contact with the ground. In the body, these electrons have an anti-inflammatory effect, reducing the free-radical activity that causes inflammation and chronic pain. The energy also helps keep your body’s innate electrical circuitry properly balanced. Without regular connection to the Earth, people can develop an electron deficiency. This in turn can lead to imbalances in the body and potentially to significant health problems. Establishing a regular contact with the ground is termed as Earthing

By reducing the amount of stress in your body, you do a big favour for your heart. This principle is extremely important for maintaining optimum cardiovascular health. Not only does chronic worry trigger the steady release of excess stress hormones, including cortisol and adrenaline, it throws off the balance between the sympathetic nervous system and the parasympathetic nervous system—the two branches of the autonomic nervous system (ANS) responsible for speeding you up and slowing you down.

Cardiovascular, respiratory, gastrointestinal, hormonal, urinary, and other systems are regulated by the ANS. It is known that lifestyle modifications such as exercise, meditation, yoga, T’ai Chi, Qigong, prayer, normal sleep, and stress reduction help improve ANS function. Earthing now appears to be another tool for achieving this outcome.
A study was conducted. 28 participant’s heart rate variability (HRV) was measured for 40 minutes while grounded and again while not grounded. The results showed that Earthing has potential for balancing the nervous system and supporting cardiovascular health. This and other studies have led us to believe that the ANS may be the first major body system to respond to Earthing, and that it has positive effects throughout the body.

The results suggested that people with heart disease and thick inflammatory blood (typical in patients with arterial disease and diabetes) may reap huge benefits from grounding themselves on a regular basis. Any time you can thin blood the consistency of ketchup to that of wine, as this simple experiment did, you minimize a significant risk factor for heart attack and stroke. The experiment showed that Earthing can have this effect in a short period of time.

Cardiologists use the term viscosity to describe blood thickness. Though often overlooked in blood tests, viscosity is an emerging marker for identifying patients at risk for arterial disease. The thicker your blood, the slower it flows through your circulatory system and the greater the risk of forming clots.

My advice now to patients, friends, and family is to add Earthing to their health routine—as much as they can work into the day. It’s powerful medicine, regardless of whether you use it for preventive or therapeutic purposes.

I’ve slept grounded for years. (What could possibly be easier?) I have a grounded floor pad at my desk. Whenever feasible, I walk barefoot. I’ve seen firsthand how, within minutes, Earthing changed the coagulability of my own blood. My blood now flows better than I could ever imagine.

Additionally, my personal health issues I sometimes write about, particularly the pain in my arthritic hip and my psoriasis flare-ups, have also improved. I attribute that to a combination of innovative treatments and keeping myself regularly grounded at night and as much as possible during the day. My colleague Richard Delany, MD, a Massachusetts cardiologist, has been doing the same thing. He says that Earthing has significantly reduced the pain in his knees. Many other people have told me that their pain problems have improved or disappeared. They shake their heads in disbelief that relief could come from the most surprising source—the ground beneath their feet.

Though Dr. Sinatra, Cardiologist, is now active primarily as an author, speaker, and advisor for the research and development of nutritional supplements, his distinguished career in interventional and preventive cardiology has earned him much respect from his patients and his peers.
