Barefoot health care is also mentioned in TCM knowledge. Have you tried? What are the benefits of barefoot health care? The following small series will introduce the benefits of barefoot health, let's take a look!

1, the effect of barefoot health care

First, lose weight and detoxify: step on soybeans while watching TV.

This is very suitable for beginners. Open a small area in front of the sofa, spread soybeans, and step on 15 minutes barefoot when watching TV every day, because soybeans are moderate in size and relatively mild in stimulating acupoints, which can relatively gently promote metabolism, detoxify and burn fat. However, it should be reminded that when you are too hungry or too full, don't do it. Drink a glass of water immediately after finishing, and the detoxification effect will be better.

Second, relieve backache: roll tennis barefoot.

Although the back and feet seem to be far apart, the plantar muscularis and calf muscularis are related to the muscularis of the back and neck. If you often have backache, you can try to put a tennis ball or golf ball on the soles of your feet and massage slowly from toes to heels for two to three minutes, which can relieve the symptoms of muscle tension and pain in your back.

Third, the joints are more flexible: practice walking on tiptoe.

Walking on tiptoe, heel, inner foot and outer foot can exercise muscles in different parts of the calf, enhance muscle strength and joint stability, and prevent daily ankle sprain. However, you must be careful in the initial exercise. You can hold things first, and then slowly put them down when you are proficient.

Fourth, strengthen gastrointestinal function: move your toes more.

According to the meridian theory of traditional Chinese medicine, the stomach meridian passes between the second toe and the third toe of the foot, and the inner court point in charge of the spleen and stomach is also in the toe. If the gastrointestinal function is weak, you may wish to exercise your toes regularly, such as grabbing the ground with your toes, or stimulating the meridians with two toes and three toes. Stick to it, the gastrointestinal function will be gradually enhanced, and symptoms such as indigestion, constipation or diarrhea will be improved.

Five, beauty freckle: towel gourd rub the soles of the feet

The study found a simple and effective way to massage the soles of the feet, and it didn't cost money. By properly stimulating the soles of the feet, we can stimulate the adrenal gland, promote the secretion of hormones by the adrenal gland, stimulate the vitality of skin cells, enhance their metabolism and reduce pigmentation, thus making the skin fair and elastic. This method is simple and easy. After washing your feet every day, you can rub your feet with natural plants such as loofah, or rub your feet with each other before going to bed until it is hot.

Regular barefoot health care can promote the blood circulation of the feet and protect the body well. Of course, barefoot health is not suitable for everyone. If your feet are sensitive, you'd better not use barefoot regimen. You can consult a doctor before using barefoot regimen.

2. The hazards of barefoot shoes

First, it is prone to fungal infection.

What effect does barefoot wearing shoes have on beriberi? People's feet are prone to sweat in hot weather, so they wear shoes directly without socks, especially shoes with poor air permeability such as plastic sandals and sports shoes, which will directly soak the skin of the feet in sweat, while the hot and humid environment is prone to fungus and fungal infection of the feet will occur.

The second is to cause skin keratinization and dermatitis.

Feet often come into direct contact with shoes, which tends to make the cuticle of heels, toes and other parts that often come into contact with shoes longer and thicker, and increase the probability of calluses, namely "cocoon seeds" and "corns". In addition, some people walk barefoot for a long time, and the friction parts of instep, toes and shoes are prone to redness, papules and blisters. This is because the skin is allergic to leather, rubber and other footwear, which is a kind of contact dermatitis.

The third is to increase the chances of trauma and infection.

Wearing shoes barefoot exposes a lot of skin on the feet and is often bitten and scratched by mosquitoes. Walking too much will also make your feet grind and bleed. Bacteria in the air attach to the skin, and if the skin has a wound, it will cause infection.

Fourth, the skin is directly "baked" by the sun.

Ultraviolet rays in sunlight will stimulate the skin to produce a large number of oxidative free radicals, destroy skin cells and tissues, accelerate the production of melanin, make the skin pigmentation, rough and inelastic, and reduce skin resistance.

Fifth, cold leads to foot disease.

The fat layer of the foot is thin, the heat preservation is poor, and the blood supply is poor, so the temperature of the sole skin is low and it is easy to catch cold. Once the feet catch cold, it can reflexively cause the capillary contraction of the upper respiratory tract mucosa, which leads to the decrease of respiratory resistance, and the germs in the air will take advantage of it and cause many diseases such as colds. When it rains, barefoot will get cold, and it will also cause stomach pain, low back pain and female dysmenorrhea.

Before you know it, you will find yourself with beriberi. What is the reason? In fact, a very important reason is that you wear shoes barefoot, which is most likely to cause beriberi. Therefore, if you don't want to get beriberi, you must do a good job in daily health care.
