Barefoot walking is said to be twice as effective as walking in sneakers. The human foot has evolved to be suitable for walking and running barefoot. It is said that normal walking is achieved only when walking barefoot, which helps the bones, muscles, and ligaments of the foot grow evenly and improves sensory nerves, which is also helpful for physical development. Let’s take a closer look at the benefits of barefoot walking.
By stimulating the nerve endings distributed on the soles of the feet, blood circulation improves and exercise effectiveness increases. By absorbing shock from the ground, you use your muscles more, which helps with weight loss.
Walking barefoot develops sensation in your feet, which helps maintain foot posture and balance. As sensation in your feet improves, you develop the ability to effectively control your posture even on uneven surfaces.
Walking barefoot is a great help in relieving stress by relaxing the body’s stiff muscles. On days when you have a lot of thoughts and concerns, relax by walking barefoot.
Walking barefoot activates and strengthens the muscles in your feet. As your foot muscles become stronger, they absorb shock, reduce pressure on your joints, and your gait posture becomes more stable. It can relieve pain related to the soles of the feet, such as plantar fasciitis, and prevent various diseases by distributing the burden on joints such as the waist, pelvis, and knees.
When there is direct contact between the feet and the ground, it stimulates the body’s immune system and improves immunity. Additionally, exposure to various microorganisms causes antibodies to be produced.
When you walk barefoot, blood flow in the capillaries distributed on the soles of your feet increases, causing your face to turn red. If you walk for about an hour every day, your skin’s tissue repair ability will improve and your skin will be able to accept makeup easily.
