Have you ever wondered why a walk in a green garden, a hill station, or a beach is good? Simply because you are close to nature and they say that the closer you are to nature, the happier and healthier you will be. One exercise that can help you connect with nature is 'grounding' or walking barefoot on clean dirt or grass. 'If you have access to a garden or clean soil, you can change your healing lifestyle.'

'All terrestrial life, except adults, maintains contact with the ground. Our modern lifestyle separates people from those connections. Most of us are unhappy and ungrounded because we sleep in our beds, walk around in our shoes, etc. and we usually lose touch with the earth or nature. Today scientific studies are showing that the gap between nature and man is a major cause of physiological dysfunction and health deterioration.

Earthing does not mean sleeping on the ground but making a gentle impact on the ground and the soil. Below, he shares some of the benefits of the experience.

Boost immunity and improve gut health

Soil and exposure to soil can be beneficial because the powerful microbes found in the soil help build immunity naturally. Microorganisms enter our body through the skin under our nails and feed on the beneficial bacteria in our gut flora, which strengthen our immune system making us stronger and healthier. We live in a world full of antibacterial hand sanitizers, soaps, and shampoos with chemicals. Chemicals aren't bad, but they kill the essential microbes that live on your skin. Adding to the soil will help absorb the good bacteria.

It can improve foot hygiene.

Thousands of bacteria exist on the surface of our skin, and when there are more bad bacteria than good bacteria, bad breath can occur. Mud is known to get rid of these toxins and bad breath. So the villagers listen to the sounds of nature, mix soil and water and apply it to floors and walls, clean houses, and even wash their hands with mud. Rotten things are covered with dirt.

Walking barefoot also improves foot hygiene by removing toxins from the soles of the feet and increasing the number of beneficial bacteria on the surface of the skin. This is impossible if we always wear shoes.

'There is a perception that walking barefoot can cause colds and coughs. But this is not true. Ancient saints and saints traditionally walked barefoot and taught their disciples to do the same. Even if you catch a cold, it affects your immune system,” he said.

Therefore, we recommend that you practice this exercise. Especially if you have access to nature or have the opportunity, do it occasionally.
