Feed Your Body: get outside

With Summer just a few days away, I think it’s so important that we get outside more. Even just for 10 to 20 minutes to put your bare feet in the grass.

This is Grounding (also called Earthing): your skin directly touching the Earth’s surface. The easiest way is to just take a little walk in your yard. There have been studies that suggest it can affect and reduce inflammation, stress hormones, blood flow, and other health issues.

It’s a good thing to do, if for no other reason than that it reminds me of simpler times. It takes me back to my childhood: running around outside barefoot all day with my sisters and cousins, not a care in the world. Except for running into stickers.

So go on, go outside (bubbles optional). Touch some grass. And watch out for stickers.
