"Dudu, put on your slippers quickly, or you will catch cold!" Grandma Dudu is carrying slippers and talking to Dudu who just came back from kindergarten and kicked off her shoes.

"I! Don't! Wear! " Dudu said loudly, pulled down his socks and jumped on the sofa.

"Cold comes from the soles of your feet, protect your little feet." Grandma Dudu said earnestly and put on socks for Dudu. If you can't beat your little ancestors, at least put on socks.

Why do children always like to walk around barefoot?

Because of freedom and comfort!

Let's first look at the relationship between the soles of the feet and body organs.

The above picture looks complicated, yes, it is the corresponding relationship between the 66 acupoints on the sole of the foot and the body organs. For example, from the second toe of the foot along the edge of the first toe is the stomach meridian. When it is abnormal, people will be tired, have no appetite and have a bloated stomach. From the first toe along the medial plantar is the spleen meridian, which has a certain relationship with pancreas and intestine. When it is abnormal, people will feel sick and constipated.

Many meridians and acupoints of the human body are on the soles of the feet, so walking barefoot will massage and stimulate the acupoints of the feet. People often say that "people get old before their feet, and longevity begins with their feet." Zhang, a professor in the health room of Beijing University of Chinese Medicine, pointed out that barefoot walking can play a role of "grounding gas". This is a sentence in China's ancient philosophy of health preservation: the sky is Yang and the earth is Yin. The imbalance of yin and yang in human body will lead to various diseases, while grounding gas will make yin full and peaceful, yang solid and secret, healthy and disease-free. Professor Jiang Liangduo of Dongzhimen Hospital of Beijing University of Chinese Medicine also said: "The ground is cold and cloudy, so it is often barefoot, which can make the yin on the ground rise to the body through Yongquan point, thus playing the role of nourishing yin."

As the saying goes, "when a tree dies, the roots are exhausted first, and people get old first." Why are feet so important to the human body?

According to the meridian theory, the three yin meridians of the foot and the three yang meridians of the foot start and end at the foot respectively. Through the relationship between the meridians, they are connected with the meridians of the three yin and three yang of the hand respectively, and jointly maintain the operation of human qi and blood. The pathological changes of zang-fu organs can affect each other through meridians, and then dredge meridians and qi and blood to achieve the effect of treating zang-fu. For example, Zusanli (Zusanli), the stomach meridian of Foot Yangming, can achieve the effect of treating stomach diseases through massage or acupuncture when there are lesions in the epigastrium, and the effect is remarkable. Therefore, the relationship between foot and viscera is the epitome of the overall relationship.

Modern medicine has also proved that the soles of the feet are densely covered with many blood vessels and the peripheral nerves are rich. Stimulating the soles of the feet can be reflected to the cerebral cortex, which can regulate the brain function and indirectly regulate the visceral function through the central nervous system, which is of great significance to maintaining health.

The above theory seems a bit obscure, it doesn't matter, let's continue.

Of course, children don't know what health care is. He just wants to be free, likes to follow his feelings and come as comfortably as possible.

Guoguo is such an easy-going young master. He hardly wears shoes at home and often goes barefoot in summer. Fortunately, it is a wooden floor at home, so it won't be too cold. In winter, we will give her thicker socks and let her play on the floor.

A few days ago, we took Guoguo to the park and came back to take a taxi. Little guy is dishonest, take off his shoes. When I got off the bus, I put on her shoes, but I wouldn't wear them after being coaxed into saying so. Let her wear them. When I first built the road, there were some pebbles on the road, but they were all smooth, and I didn't pay much attention to them. She still felt very happy when she was allowed to walk on the concrete road wearing only socks.

When I got home, my grandparents just marveled: "Your socks are so dirty!" "They never accuse their children of walking barefoot, which may also benefit from the fact that Guoguo's grandparents were born in Chinese medicine.

So, what are the benefits of baby walking barefoot?

Adults are used to wearing socks and shoes because they wear shoes for a long time. Most babies are lively and active, love sweating's feet. The little shoes are wet and stuffy. Walking barefoot makes little feet relax freely, which is beneficial to the secretion and evaporation of sweat on their feet, refreshing and comfortable. Walking barefoot is equivalent to having a foot massage. We often go to foot bath shops and ask professional technicians to give us foot massage.

Walking barefoot is like massaging acupoints on toes and soles of feet. According to relevant data, regular massage of acupoints on the soles of the feet can strengthen the spleen and tonify the kidney, calm the nerves, and have a certain effect on enuresis, dyspepsia and constipation in children. At the same time, it can promote the regulation function of autonomic nerve and endocrine, and improve the sensitivity and memory of brain thinking.

In the right season, you can let your baby play barefoot outdoors, fully feel different substances such as sand, grass, water, mud and stones with your feet, and stimulate the rich tactile nerves of your feet with different temperatures and different soft and hard things, thus forming tactile stimulation to your brain, which is conducive to developing your baby's sense of touch, promoting the development of senses and brain, and improving the coordination of your body. If the sense of touch of the feet is not well developed in childhood, the signal input may not be so sensitive, and as a result, some people will easily fall or trip when they walk in adulthood.

Walking barefoot, let the baby's feet touch the air and sunshine, fully enjoy the air bath and sunshine bath, and the blood circulation of the feet will be accelerated, which in turn will drive the metabolic rate of the whole body. When the metabolism is accelerated, the baby's appetite will increase, and the body's disease resistance and immunity will naturally increase. Resistance and cold tolerance are gradually improved, and diseases such as colds or diarrhea can also be prevented.

In some kindergartens, primary and secondary schools in Japan, groups of children can often be seen jogging barefoot around the playground or along the corridor under the guidance of teachers. They call it "barefoot education" figuratively. Practice has proved that after a period of barefoot training, the vast majority of babies' physique has been enhanced, their height and weight have increased, and even colds and colds rarely occur.

Without shoes and socks, the constraint on the feet is zero, and the foot shape can be naturally generated, which can prevent the baby's flat feet, varus feet and valgus feet. The ankle can also move freely, which helps to enhance the flexibility and toughness of the ankle. Look at our feet. Many people have dark and hard pimples on their toes and joints. Wearing sandals in summer is particularly ugly.

Tips for walking barefoot:

1, don't have sharp objects on the ground to avoid stabbing the baby's delicate skin.

2, the weather is too cold to wear socks, but also be careful not to be too hot, it will burn the baby.

Try not to go barefoot when the baby is sick.

4. Keep your feet clean and hygienic. After playing outside, go home and wash your baby's feet as soon as possible.
