I heard about this some time ago and between time's I've lived near and far from places I could routinely walk on the beach I think there's definitely something to it.
I also know that some people secure grounded copper wires to their feet as they sleep to get the same effect though I can't speak as to the effectiveness of that.
In any case, while the effect was positive I don't know that it would be worth anyone seriously altering their lifestyle to fit it in. Worth doing if it's no trouble (walking barefoot at the beach when you would normally wear shoes) but otherwise it might not be worth altering your schedule to fit in.
The study I posted just above your comment used copper wires attached to research subjects to create the earthing / grounding connection, with statistically significant improvements in various blood method. I haven't tried being earthed while exercising but will keep it in mind.
It sounds like arguments made against exercising, saying 'working out might not be worth altering your schedule to fit in.' We know that's not true, and clearly the same applies to earthing. It's just a matter of how much one value's optimizing their health to include it in their daily rhythm. The research and my own experience show there are huge advantages in many areas that warrant making lifestyle changes to spend more time earthed. That's why I often use grounding mats or wrist straps when it's too cold / wet / inconvenient to go outside and ground directly.
This is a product I use and also one of my partner's father is now using to help recover from prostate cancer (along with intensive improvements in supplementation and dietary changes). He's 86 years old, watches TV earthed. I don't work for or own any part of this company, btw.
