Take steps to revitalize your body every day

Grounding and interacting with nature every day is the best way to revitalize your body. Get outside as often as you can, hiking on dirt trails, swimming in ponds, rivers, lakes, or the salty sea, reading a book as you lean against a tree. Plant a garden and get your hands dirty. Take a nap on a sandy beach or a grassy knoll. Head to the park for a jog in special grounding shoes. Go off the beaten path and find a rock where you sit and contemplate nature. Bring your yoga practice outside. Join a Tai Chi class on a grassy lawn. Meditate as you sit on the ground. Walk in the woods with your dog, petting your pooch to get grounded as you go. Breathe fresh air. Disconnect from technology and reconnect with the surface of the Earth and revitalize body and soul. It's the easiest way to revitalize yourself wherever in the world you are. And best of all, you'll heal for free.

In addition to grounding every day, it is important to fortify your body. Eat an anti-inflammatory diet like the Pan Asian Modified Mediterranean Diet (PAMM), which combines the best foods from the traditional Japanese and Mediterranean cultures, both known for their health and longevity. With the PAMM diet, you can eat moderate amounts of saturated fats from eggs, avocado, and animal protein. Plus, you want to limit (or better yet eliminate) sugar, white flours, and other simple carbohydrates that can lead to inflammation. Instead fill your diet with vegetables, legumes, fresh fruits, lean proteins, cold-water fish such as wild-caught salmon, and olive oil, the secret sauce of a healthful diet. People who live in the Mediterranean basin, like in Portugal, Spain, and Italy, and who consume extra virgin olive oil on a daily basis lead the world in longevity. The science is simple. Olive oil is rich in polyphenols that support healthy cholesterol dynamics and reduce proinflammatory gene expression. Eating the PAMM way is anti-inflammatory because it limits your body's insulin response, minimizes harmful free radicals, and gives you lots of fiber to quickly move toxins and food through your digestive tract.

Stay hydrated. Your body depends on water to survive. Every cell, tissue, and organ in your body needs water to work properly. For example, your body uses water to maintain its temperature, remove waste, and lubricate your joints. Water is needed for overall good health and you should drink a good amount of water every day. Most people have been told they should drink six to eight eight-ounce glasses of water each day. While plain water is best for staying hydrated, other drinks and foods can help, too. Fruit and vegetable juices, milk, and herbal teas add to the amount of water you get each day.

Interestingly, water may be used to ground in the same way the physical Earth is used for grounding. Simply wading in a clear lake or swimming in the ocean is a good way to ground yourself.
