SATURDAY DISCUSSION. the one thing im getting into lately is barefoot training, yes it seems a little crazy but there are so many benefits that come from flicking off your shoes for an hour a day, This is an excerpt from a guy who leads the holistic heal industry, his name is David Wolfe, among other he was guy i followed religiously when i was studying natural medicine. Even if your not training bare foot, go in your back yard and have a walk around. there are some interesting points here and the link is at the bottom of the page. tag someone who you think would benefit from this information. here it is Blessings, James Elliot David Wolfe When was the Last Time You Walked Barefoot? I want to start off by talking about the barefoot revolution, David says. If there is a local park or a beach nearby where you can easily get your shoes off and take a walk, this is really powerful in terms of helping you deal with inflammation of your ankles, knees, hips, and, I would say, even lower back. A lot of back problems, a lot of postural problems, are caused by wearing shoes that throw out our posture in different directions, and they also make your toes limp. Your toes lose their ability to grip. They lose their strength by the wearing of shoes. Most shoes emulate a cast in that they do not allow your foot to articulate properly. In terms of inflammation, shoes also block the beneficial electromagnetic radiation of the earth, which actually has an anti-inflammatory effect. According to David, about 30 studies performed by Clint Ober over the past 12 years reveal this. The studies indicate we can just touch the earth with our bare feet or our bare skin; sit down on the grass, and the earth actually releases anti-inflammatory electromagnetic radiation, David says. This helps to draw out inflammation, in particular of your lower extremities: your feet, our ankles, knees, and hips. My own understanding of this phenomenon is that its not caused so much by the electromagnetic radiation but rather from the transfer of free electrons from the earth; a grounding effect that is, in my understanding, one of the most potent antioxidants we know of. Unfortunately, few people ever walk barefoot anymore to experience it. According to David, it takes about 80 minutes for the free electrons from the earth to reach your blood stream and transform your blood. This is what Clints research has been showing, David says. We actually did this at the Longevity Conference. We showed, within an hour and 20 minutes, how peoples blood profiles changed and improved just based on being grounded for an hour and 20 minutes. Walking barefoot can also help ameliorate the constant irritation caused by EMFs and other types of radiation on your system from cell phones, computers and Wi-Fi on your system. By getting outside, barefoot, touching the earth, and allowing the excess charge in your body to discharge into the earth, you can alleviate some of the stress put on your system. That is the grounding effect. Walking barefoot outside and breathing fresh air are grossly neglected foundational health principles, as is having large amounts of your skin exposed to natural sunlight so you can optimize your vitamin D, which is another crucial component for treating inflammation. articles.mercola/sites/articles/archive/2010/07/17/superfood-expert-david-wolfe-shares-latest-insights-on-how-to-stay-healthy.aspx
