2. The danger of walking barefoot

(1) It is easy to get up early and have diarrhea barefoot.

Nowadays, many young people often walk barefoot on the floor when they get up early in a hurry, which is unhealthy. Feet are the second heart of human body, so it is very important to keep warm. I just came out of the quilt this morning, and my feet haven't adapted to the outside temperature. Stepping on the ground is easy to catch cold, causing abdominal pain and diarrhea. In the long run, it will affect my gastrointestinal health. It is best to wear a pair of soft flat slippers when getting up early, and don't walk barefoot, especially when getting up in cold winter.

(2) Increase the probability 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.

(3) susceptibility to skin cancer.

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. According to some data, the skin of barefoot sandals is directly exposed to the sun in a large area, which will increase the risk of skin cancer.

(4) Fungal infection is easy to occur.

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.

(5) 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.
