The benefits of walking without shoes

This method increases vitality, relieves of many ailments. A bare foot, upon contact with the ground, uses reflexogenic points associated with almost all internal organs. There is a tonic effect on the stomach, kidneys, organs of vision, heart, blood vessels.

A similar effect is comparable to acupressure. Physiologists claim that the sole of the foot is a powerful reflexogenic zone. There are many receptors on one centimeter of the foot, there is no such accumulation anywhere else. And when walking, they are activated in a natural way, which affects the tone of the body. Walking barefoot can help stabilize blood pressure, activate blood circulation, and prevent heart disease.

It has been proven that "grounding" occurs through a bare sole, that is, static electricity escapes from the body, coming from contact with synthetic materials. It is known that an excess of electrical charges in the body worsens sleep, leads to neuroses, and gives a feeling of chronic fatigue. The feet get rid of sweating, the feet tolerate frost more comfortably. The skin on the foot becomes stronger, does not undergo fungal diseases.

Take off your shoes

Gradualness is the best method for walking barefoot. “First steps” are best done at home. Children, weakened and delicate people, are advised to start walking on a rug, then on a clean floor. Enough twice for 10 minutes at any time of the day. And only after three weeks you can go out.

The recommended daily dose is 30-60 minutes. Walking on stones should not be long, three minutes is enough, but no longer than 20. Experienced tramps can do a 2-3 minute jog on soft snow.
