Do you know how good it is to walk barefoot in nature? I’ve been doing it for long out of intuition, but I recently came across a scientific publication stating its multiple
Benefits. Some of them are:
-stress relief
-vitality and energy increase
-better mood
Could this perhaps be the reason why most kids love walking barefoot?
My 5 years old child is an expert on the subject. He very often walks barefoot at home and outside, on hot days and cold ones too. He doesn’t even care if walks on the sand, over a path full of little stones or pebbles, or in the forest.
It is also said that walking with your feet directly on earth diminishes chronic pain and body inflammation. It improves your sleep quality and blood pressure; It relieves hormonal and menstruation symptoms… And of course, it helps you take roots and connect with Mother Earth and with your essence. It is wonderful, and it is so amazingly easy!
So, now you know, next time you have the chance, put your feet on the earth and if you can, walk! 30 minutes a day can truly change your life.
