What are the benefits of walking barefoot

Walking barefoot can also bring certain benefits to physical health, because many people who have walked barefoot will find that it can make people happy physically and mentally, and can speed up the blood circulation in the feet and massage some acupoints on the soles of the feet. It has certain effects on physical health, but we should also pay attention to some possible adverse effects, such as walking barefoot in the morning can easily lead to diarrhea.

1. Benefits

1. Walking barefoot not only makes people feel good, but also has many benefits to the human body. The quality of blood circulation in the feet is closely related to the blood circulation in the whole body.

2. Walking barefoot can make the muscles, meridians, ligaments and nerve endings of the soles of the feet contact and rub against the sand, grass and uneven cobblestone surface of the ground, and then stimulate the internal organs and cerebral cortex through nerve transmission, achieving the purpose of strengthening the body.

3. Walking barefoot also helps the secretion and evaporation of foot sweat, preventing athlete's foot.

4. Excessive static electricity accumulated in the human body is harmful to health. Walking barefoot frequently can release excess electricity through the feet as a conductor, which is beneficial to the human body.

2. Disadvantages

1. Getting up early and walking barefoot can easily cause diarrhea.

Nowadays, many young people often walk barefoot on the floor when they get up early or are in a hurry. This is not good for health. The feet are the second heart of the human body, so it is very important to keep warm. When you just get out of bed in the morning, your feet have not yet adapted to the outside temperature, and it is easy to catch a cold when you step on the ground, causing abdominal pain and diarrhea. If this continues for a long time, it will affect your gastrointestinal health. It is best to wear a pair of soft flat slippers when you get up early, and don't walk barefoot. Especially in the cold winter, it is best to put on socks when you get up.

2. Increase the chance of trauma and infection

Wearing shoes barefoot exposes a large amount of foot skin, which is often bruised or bitten by mosquitoes. Walking too much will cause blisters on the feet. Germs in the air attach to the skin and cause infection if there are wounds on the skin.

3. Prone to skin cancer

The ultraviolet rays in the sun will stimulate the skin to produce a large number of oxidative free radicals, which will damage skin cell tissue, accelerate the production of melanin, cause skin pigmentation, roughness, loss of elasticity, and reduce skin resistance. Data shows that people who wear sandals barefoot have large areas of their feet exposed directly to the sun, increasing the risk of skin cancer.
