Naomie Harris claims walking around barefoot will prevent jet lag.
The ‘Spectre’ actress always applies a technique known as grounding when she lands from a flight, in which she takes off her shoes and socks before pacing around on the earth for 20 to 45 minutes because she believes it helps her adjust to a new time zone.
She posted a picture on Instagram of herself sitting on the grass barefoot and captioned the image: "#homesweethome and loving it!!! Nowhere beats #London in summer!! Got off the plane and did my two ‘absolute musts’ post flying… an oxygen facial (thank you @elemis !!), and grounding… the best way to get in sync with a new time zone is to whip your shoes and socks off and connect with the earth for a good 20 -45 minutes!! Do that whenever you fly and you won’t get #jetlag !! (sic)"
The 40-year-old actress is not the only star in showbusiness to believe in such a technique.
Gwyneth Paltrow is known to be a big fan of earthing, another name for grounding, and some even think it can help with insomnia or depression.
In a recent edition of her Goop newsletter, she wrote: "Earthing therapy rests on the intuitive assumption that connecting to the energy of the planet is healthy for our souls and bodies.
"And while there’s a definite, if New-Age, appeal to the concept of energetically connecting with Mother Earth, there’s also a more scientific angle to the practice, which posits that access to the abundant supply of free electrons in the (subtly negatively charged) ground can help neutralize free radicals–if only we would take off our shoes and access them.
"Several people in our community (including GP) swear by earthing–also called grounding–for everything from inflammation and arthritis to insomnia and depression. (sic)"
