Experimental Fat Loss
If you hang around alternative health Twitter long enough, you’ll soon encounter all sorts of theories and factors people worry about. Here are just a few:
The idea is that, in the stone age, we used to walk largely barefoot on the bare ground, and that this was conductive (*snortle*) to us being almost constantly grounded against the earth. If you think about it, a wild animal is probably never more than a few seconds or minutes away from being grounded.
If you’ve ever walked around in shoes with plastic soles, e.g. on carpet, and then gotten zapped when you touched a metal door knob, that was the grounding.
You had built up quite a bit of electrical potential (am I using that right?) in your body without being grounded, and once you did get grounded, it all came out at once.
If the magnitude of this is big enough, it can kill you. Think lighting storms. The clouds are not grounded, and eventually, the current “spills over” the previous barrier (moist air) and finds a way to ground itself. If the clouds were connected to the ground with a long copper wire, there wouldn’t be any lightning. Very, very frightning.
