As life rapidly changes around us, have you ever wondered how WiFi affects our health? As we adapt, we can take steps to preserve our health and vitality. Summer is an ideal opportunity to rebalance with self-care and time in nature.

Boost your health with four simple practices.

1) Earthing 

Back in 1998, Clint Ober found success when he developed effective grounding systems for the cable television industry. He soon pioneered the Earthing movement, after learning the potential of grounding to improve human health. Learn more about Clint Ober at https://www.earthing.com/.

"Earthing (also known as grounding) refers to the discovery that bodily contact with the Earth's natural electric charge stabilizes the physiology at the deepest levels, reduces inflammation, pain, and stress, improves blood flow, energy, and sleep, and generates greater well-being." ScienceDirect.com

If asked, "Are you taking care of your health?" You may pause to think for a minute. Most people associate exercise, a balanced diet, hydration, and mental health with overall general health. And they would be correct in the most general sense. However, a component of human health must be considered—our exposure to technology.

In 1984 the term technostress was introduced.
Four decades later, many of us can relate to both the positive and negative influence of technology, including wifi, computers, cell phones, and social media. These technological advances add efficiency and convenience to life. Yet, at the same time, they also add stress. Everyone who sends a message expects a response. We feel the need to keep a presence online and in social circles. And in the workplace, our reputation depends on a speedy, accurate, and thoughtful response. 

With constant wifi connectivity, technostress threatens our health and lifestyle with complexity and information overload. There is a sub-current of uncertainty and angst as we face our ever-changing world of technology. In many ways, through the use of technology, we have become less connected to friends and business associates.
