The Health Benefits of Walking Barefoot

Walking barefoot, also known as "earthing," has gone from being a unusual trend, to a scientifically-researched practice with a number of remarkable health advantages, such as increasing antioxidants, reducing inflammation, and improving sleep. Earthing means walking barefoot on soil, grass or sand and early studies are showing that the health benefits come from the relationship between our bodies and the electrons in the earth. The planet has its own natural charge, and we seem to do better when we’re in direct contact with it.

1. Sleep disturbances, including sleep apnea
