Using Earthing as an Antioxidant Absorption Technique

Anywhere you go nowadays, whether it be your local pharmacy, grocery store or corner gas station, you’ll see products boasting their antioxidant ingredients. We’ve been taught since early childhood that antioxidants are some wonder-substance, capable of fighting off ill health. The logical next question, however, becomes “why?” and “how?” Perhaps not so surprisingly, when you ask someone these questions, they simply offer a shrug.
It’s worth taking a look into, in order to better understand the properties that antioxidants have, where they come from and how they help. After all, if Americans are going to dish out billions of dollars each year on what they believe is going to help them live healthier lives, we should understand what the rave is all about.
Antioxidants, at the core of their function, are chemicals that help our bodies prevent or hinder cell death. So, what causes cell death? Well, unfortunately, there’s a lot out there that’s not so good for our health and wellbeing. One of the primary factors toward cell death is free radicals.
Free radicals are the byproduct of environmental toxins (i.e. electromagnetic frequencies, radiation, smoke, etc.); they are molecules produced as a result of our bodies breaking down food for energy. Moreover, free radicals are a result of our bodies’ exposure to oxidation (exposure to oxygen) that can break atoms and, in turn, leave them with unpaired electrons. What happens as a result is that these unstable atoms then becomes dangerously disruptive, attacking healthy cells to take away their electrons. It’s an endless process which, if not treated correctly, can lead to severe cell death.
