Cognition & Grounding

Grounding has been shown to reduce inflammation.

Reducing inflammation improves cognitive performance. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.neuint.2024.105900

This study shows grounding improves cognitive performance. (Combining the above.)

“Newer research suggests this shift this may have cognitive benefit. Researchers followed three groups of participants for 12 weeks to determine if walking barefoot outside for 40 minutes in the morning, four times a week, had any impact on their cognition compared to controls. Using an EEG to record brain wave patterns before and immediately following the 12 weeks, participants were asked a series of questions and performed tasks to examine spatial perception, memory, cognitive speed, concentration, and levels of brain stress. Researchers found that only the barefoot group showed significantly boosted alpha waves and significantly decreased beta waves, and they found that this translated cognitively into a significant increase in cognitive speed and concentration along with a significant decrease in brain stress. The control group that did the same walking activity but wore sneakers the entire time, had no significant change in any of the mental performance tasks [13].

The researchers conclude that barefoot walking activated cognitive ability, particularly in information processing and complex reasoning, while simultaneously reducing mental stress and brain fatigue.”

I don’t know exactly how the mechanism’s work but my assumption is that by increasing the electron flow to energize healthy cells and increase repair this can impact neurons and cognitive functions in a pretty big way. Humans always being off the ground is inhibiting our cognitive function.
