What's at Stake
The rise in chronic illnesses, sleep disorders, stress, and cardiovascular diseases in the Western world is largely due to modern lifestyle factors such as sedentary behavior, poor diet, and constant technology use. Prolonged sitting, processed foods, and electronic device overuse contribute to obesity, disrupted sleep, and increased stress levels. Chronic stress from work and personal life further exacerbates these issues, impacting mental and physical health. Improving overall health requires lifestyle changes like increased physical activity, a balanced diet, stress management, and reducing technology exposure. Additionally, incorporating grounding into your daily routine can help mitigate these symptoms by promoting relaxation, reducing inflammation, and improving sleep quality (CDC) (Mayo Clinic) (www.heart.org).
