Four Barefoot Health Preservation Methods

In Japan, walking barefoot is a unique way of maintaining health. As long as the conditions permit, people will choose to walk barefoot. Experts say that there are countless nerve endings on human feet that are closely connected to the brain. Walking barefoot can enhance resistance to cold, reduce the risk of illness, and provide sufficient stimulation to the soles of the feet, thereby promoting brain activity. Long-term stimulation of the acupoints on the soles of the feet can promote blood circulation, remove static electricity from the body, and better treat foot diseases.

1. Roll a tennis ball barefoot to relieve back pain

You can try placing a tennis ball on the sole of your foot and slowly rolling it from toes to heel for 2 to 3 minutes to relieve symptoms of back muscle tension and pain.

2. Step on soybeans while watching TV to lose weight and detoxify

Clear a small area in front of the sofa, spread soybeans on it, and walk barefoot on it for 15 minutes while watching TV every day. Because soybeans are of moderate size, they stimulate the acupuncture points on the soles of the feet relatively gently, and can promote metabolism relatively gently, thereby achieving the dual effects of detoxification and fat burning.

3. Use loofah to rub the soles of your feet to beautify your skin and remove freckles

After washing your feet every day, rub the soles of your feet vigorously with a dry loofah. You can also rub the soles of your feet against each other before going to bed until they become warm. It can stimulate the adrenal glands to secrete hormones and reduce pigmentation, making the skin white and elastic.

4. Toes grip the ground to enhance gastrointestinal function

If your gastrointestinal function is weak, you might as well practice gripping the ground with your toes, or pinching things with your second and third toes to stimulate the meridians. If you persist in doing this, symptoms such as indigestion, constipation or diarrhea will be improved.
