Which is healthier (and why)?

Underfloor heating with an electric mat or underfloor heating with a water pipe (running water – geopathogenic zones)?

I don't think either one is ideal, my problem is that I have vein problems and the heat from below is not good at all. My legs are always heavy and I have to lift my legs up. If I had known that, I would have preferred to do without this form of heating.

On the face of it, it seems better to say that heating with water is better than heating with electricity. But what about water breakthroughs?

Either way, I prefer water.

For me, the only option would be a heating system using water, because we are already exposed to enough smog from electrical systems and appliances.

Why do you always want to abuse air as a heating medium? Underfloor heating is the worst air heating. The healthiest heating for humans is radiant heating. With heating tape along exterior walls, you can forget about insulation.
