Buck Barefoot release static electricity

According to bio-holographic theory, many internal organs foot reflex zones, known as one of the "second heart." Walking barefoot, the ground and objects on a similar stimulation of foot massage, massage function, can enhance the sensitivity of nerve endings to signal the rapid introduction of internal organs and the cerebral cortex, regulating the autonomic nervous system and endocrine system.

Oregon Research Institute did a walk barefoot for interesting study. Researchers in a specially designed mat covered with pebbles, 100 volunteers per day on the mat and walk 1 hour to go three times a week. After 16 weeks of testing, the experts found that almost half of the volunteers in terms of balance has been markedly improved, while these groups also appeared in the blood pressure decreased significantly. It follows, barefoot exercise in disease prevention has a good effect.

Another effect of walking barefoot is the release of excessive accumulation of static human body. Our ancestors walked barefoot almost daily contact with land. Later, people put on their shoes, and the earth isolated, so the body can not release the accumulation of static electricity and damaged the body energy balance.

In addition, often the bare feet in the fresh air and sunshine, but also help foot sweat secretion and evaporation, increase peripheral blood circulation, boost resistance and cold resistance, prevention of colds or diarrhea on sickness.

Mitigate impact of barefoot running

Institutions such as Harvard University researchers investigated the long-running U.S. and Kenya's feet touch the ground situation. The results showed that long-running man shoes, most of the ground with the heel first, and those who are often barefoot, most of the ground first with the ball of your foot.

Study found that the ground heel first case, even wearing a cushion running shoes, the impact of the foot can be reached 3 times the body weight. But the first case of the ground feet first, because after ankle tendons and joints, etc. effective buffer, impact will be down to only about 60% of body weight. Because of this impact may result in long-term effect of plantar fasciitis or a stress fracture, the researchers believe that the way the ground before the feet are more healthy.

For the barefoot crowd, even when they know how to run touch the ground, and they can be more sensitive to correct his own muscle movement patterns to accommodate the movement of all cases occur. Barefoot movement to liberate people's toes, so that they stretch more flexible, more tightly clutching the ground, thereby enhancing the movement of the leg from the ankle up to hip stability.
In recent years, there have been some barefoot running European and American organizations. They claim that this new type of exercise to their endless benefits. If you also want to try, and that requires a process of adaptation. Can be once a week, from the start jogging.

For a period of time barefoot training, physical fitness more than 80% of children increased markedly increased appetite, height, weight faster.

Children often barefoot walk to tender foot directly affected by the friction of the soil, not only can enhance the strength of plantar muscles and ligaments, but also improve ankle flexibility, help prevent flat feet. The point of the foot when barefoot massage, but also adjust the organs including the brain function and role in promoting blood circulation and metabolism, thus speeding up the development of the brain and enhance children's thinking, sensitivity and memory.
