SEC-S13/W3 | "Bare Feet 🐾"

Sure, This peculiar challenge caught my attention and I definitely consumed a couple of cups of coffee while preparing for this post. In fact, I do not write on health related topics but this one is different because walking barefoot is my hobby and I know a couple of scientific facts about this interesting act. Here are my answers as you asked them and I would love to invite my friends, @weisser-rabe, @patjewell, and @josepha if not already posted in this contest.

🕳️✅ Do you like walking barefoot? Explain your reasons

As you said, we evolved in close connection with the earth’s energy and were born barefoot. All right, we were born barefooted, but our ancestors even slept on the ground. We should know the benefits of the earth’s healing nature. So if we spend so much time away from this ground energy, spending our time wearing shoes and indoors, I love to spend some time on this ground barefooted, which gives me immense joy.

I believe walking barefoot makes our walking style natural and better. In fact, experts suggest that if we walk without shoes for some time, it prevents the use of certain leg and foot muscles that can strengthen our entire body. Have you ever walked without shoes and seen the difference in your walking balance?

Walking barefoot definitely helps with pain relief and improves the mechanisms of the hips, knees, and core. As an engineering student, I believe that people who walk barefoot develop a special relationship with the ground, or what we call earthing in electrical language. And trust me, this is not mine but an expert's opinion.

🕳️✅ How important is taking care of your feet?

You don't need to study rocket science to understand that your feet are the hardest working parts of your body, and as you walk, with every single step, your feet face the impact of about 400 kg of force!

We also know we put shoes on and that puts our feet even more on the receiving if you wear high heels, your feet need even more care. We all know that shoes always remain in contact with our skin and are rubbed thousands of times daily with it. It might harm the skin of our feet hence, proper care is a must. In short, taking proper care of our feet can help avoid pain and discomfort.

If we don't take proper care of our feet, we might face different problems that affect our posture and balance and our hips, knees, and spine. If our feet suffer, so does our body and life. There is no need to say that our free movement, exercise, and workouts keep our physical and mental health perfect. If we care about our feet we care for our entire body.

We must know that for people suffering from diabetes, high blood pressure, or arthritis, it’s even more crucial to take good care of their feet.

🕳️✅ What do you think of the saying “Don't walk barefoot, parasites can get in”?

All right I agree that infection or hookworms occurs through skin contact with soils contaminated with human come in contact soil containing hookworm eggs. But let's make it clear. Actually, barefooting does not spread hookworms, but unhygiene does. Therefore, the best way to prevent the spread of hookworms is to walk in a safe environment away from dirty mud to protect yourself while walking in a clean environment.

I believe shoes or no shoes, but I have never crawled in the mud or lived on the trees. I was created by God and I was born barefooted but I choose to wear shoes. But sometimes I don’t wear shoes, and that’s okay with me. Who wouldn't love to walk barefoot here? I often go to this place and walk barefoot and never get any hookworms or problems of that kind.

  

🕳️ ✅ What do you think of a world without shoes?

I feel besides religious reasons and we all know there are certain scientific reasons behind all religious reasons behind living barefoot. As I mentioned earlier too that the human body carries a slight positive charge because it is bioelectric, and our body cells conduct electrical impulses. We need electricity for the nervous system that sends signals to our body and brain.

ᴵ ᵃᵐ ᵃˡˡ ᶠᵒʳ ᵃ ʷᵒʳˡᵈ ˡᶦᵏᵉ ᵗʰᶦˢ ˢʰᵒᵉˢ ᵒʳ ⁿᵒ ˢʰᵒᵉˢ

I can go deep into the body structure that uses electrical charge, so our body moves and thinks. There is a whole science behind our internal system that uses negative and positive charge and walking barefoot does the world of good for the flow of electricity in our body. Would you believe that if you walk barefoot your body is positively charged?

The science says the earth carries a negative charge and when we walk barefoot we make a physical connection with the earth and discharge excess energy, which brings a healing effect to our body cells. Try walking barefoot on the grass or even on dirt and see the positive difference in your body and mind.
