Introduction
Groundingalso known as earthingis the practice of connecting your body directly with the earth's surface. This simple method has significant impact on recovery and performanceespecially for athletes. 🌍💪
Understanding grounding
Grounding is based on the idea that the earth's surface is charged withfree electronswhich can be absorbed by the human body when in direct contact with the soil.
Whether it's walking barefoot on the grassin using IAKOTA recovery mattress toppersor by using earthing devicesThe benefits are numerous.
The benefits of Grounding¹
🌿 Inflammation Reduction
Grounding helps to reduce inflammation. When the body is in direct contact with the earth, the free electrons can neutralize the earth's energy. free radicals in the body, causing cell damage and inflammation.
By neutralizing them, grounding promotes faster healing of damaged tissue.
💉 Improved blood circulation
Grounding improves blood circulationThis enables more efficient distribution of oxygen and nutrients to the cells, and facilitates the elimination of metabolic waste. This particularly beneficial for athletes who need rapid recovery after intense effort.
😴 Stress Reduction and Sleep Improvement
By balancing the electrical charges in the body, grounding can reduce stress and improve sleep quality.
Oxidative stressaggravated by psychological and physical stress, is reduced thanks to grounding, helping to calming the nervous system and promoting deeper, more restful sleep.
Impact on Sports Recovery
For sportsmen and women, grounding can have significant effects on the post-exercise recovery.
🏋️ Accelerating muscle recovery
After intensive training, muscles undergo micro-tears which must be repaired to enable muscle growth and improved strength.
Grounding accelerates this repair process by reducing inflammation and in improves blood circulationThis allows muscles to recover more quickly.
❤️ Improving Heart Rate Variability (HRV)
Visit Heart Rate Variability (HRV) is an indicator of the autonomic nervous system's health and the body's ability to recover.
Studies have shown that grounding can increase VFCThis indicates better recovery and adaptation to physical stress.
High VFC is associated with greater resilience and faster recovery after exercise.
🚫 Muscle Pain Reduction
Delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS) is common after intense exercise. Grounding can help reduce these pains by reducing inflammation and improving blood flow to affected muscles, facilitating faster, less painful recovery.
