While there are many pieces to the COVID 19 puzzle, and I certainly can’t tackle them all, I’d like to give you some practical advice first, then explain the science behind it, and lastly tie it into a somewhat more philosophical argument.
So what to do in the context of the coronavirus to protect our health (in addition to washing our hands and self-isolation)? I suggest we go back to the basics, namely: water, air, sun and earth. These are basic resources, freely available in nature. As a side note: note that even where these basic natural energy resources were not available until recently due to environmental pollution, the drastic measures we have been taking to minimize the spread of the coronavirus have allowed us to enjoy clearer waters, blue skies. and cooler. air (that Europeans can breathe from their balconies).
Now, let’s see how water, air, sun and earth can interact with your body, strengthen it and help our immune system in these times of pandemic (but also in general). We all know that the body is primarily water (in fact something like 99.2% of the human body is / should be water). We also know that babies are the most hydrated, while older people are the most dehydrated part of the population. And we know that as we age, not only do we become progressively dehydrated, but our immune system also deteriorates. However, keep in mind that the weaker immune system from dehydration may not be a direct causal relationship, or at least not the only direct causal relationship that develops. However, the strong correlation between hydration and immune system function is hard to miss. In fact, a similar correlation can be observed in the function of many other parts and processes of the body. Therefore, it is no secret that dehydration is often accompanied by asthma, constipation, poor lymphatic drainage, migraines, chronic joint pain, fatigue, etc.
At first glance, there is no doubt that hydration is perhaps the number 1 factor that we must take care of if we want to take care of our health. But you probably already knew. What you may not have known, however, is that energy from the earth, oxygen, and light help hydration at the cellular level. Without grounding yourself through the Earth, sunlight, and oxygen from the air, you can drink as much water as you want and still remain dehydrated (and perhaps bloated on top of that).
Now, what is special about grounding, oxygen, and light so that it helps our cells absorb water? In a simplistic way, for absorption to occur there has to be a movement of water (in and out of the cell through the cell membrane). In other words, the water needs to circulate. And it does so by separating into negative and positive charges. When water touches cell membranes, it forms the so-called exclusion zone or EZ water (negatively charged water that excludes toxins and waste). The rest is positive. Negatively charged water enters cells (and can do so due to charge separation). Once inside the cell, the water begins to provoke numerous biochemical reactions (thanks to the negative charge), including those related to repair and regeneration. Positively charged water is excreted through exhalation, urination, sweat, etc. Simply put, the more charge separation occurs in the body’s water, and the more negatively charged water that is created, the more efficiently the body functions. Importantly, the grounding of Earth’s energy, oxygen, and light (especially the infrared spectrum which by the way is commonly blocked by glass) contributes to charge separation and EZ water formation ( that is, negatively charged water), which helps you stay hydrated and stimulates the functioning of your immune system, among many other things.
To conclude, Back TO Basics is perhaps one of the endless lessons we can draw from the coronavirus crisis. In the context of an apparent scarcity of inputs and resources (masks, disinfectants, vitamin C, medical personnel, etc.), nature is still here to offer us its infinite sources of energy: water, air, sun and earth. Then it is time to be with nature. Of course, those with a backyard are much luckier than those stuck on balconies, but this in itself is an opportunity to re-evaluate the decisions we have made and perhaps simplify life to achieve happiness.
