In regards to the presentation and the work of Chevalier (2013), I think that the presentation offered an intriguing and appropriate approach in the illustration of the same. I agree with the stated causal effects of blood viscosity which are; hematocrit, erythrocyte deformability and aggregation, plasma viscosity and temperature (p. 104). It is fascinating how the effects of earthing on blood viscosity, which is a measurement of the thickness of the thickness of an individual’s blood.
Of the most key obvious but key aspects, I become aware of how the blood viscosity determines the amount of friction on the blood vessels. This situation of blood viscosity still shows the degree to which the blood has to perform its functions and amount of oxygen delivered to the organs directly correlates to the ability of the blood to flow. This got me thinking: How is it possible to increase or dilate the blood vessels to improve the flow of blood which is highly viscous? From the presentation, it became clear that the diameter of the blood vessels is not dependent on the viscosity of the blood but rather on the physiological responses (Ober, 2010).
The assumption that the earthing or grounding of blood does not pose any harm to the body appears to be true. On the other hand, it becomes worrying to learn that the individuals who apply the blood thinning drugs should have their clotting time monitored in the cases when they start to have regular contact with the earth. Only when I have a keen, a close depiction of the presentation is it when I acknowledge that, despite the deeper and knowledgeable illustrations, it becomes affirmative to note that the earthing has crucial benefits of the zeta potential.
