Globally recognized scientists strongly advise walking.
According to some sources, daily exercise can lower your risk of developing
major illnesses including diabetes, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol.
Even with a busy schedule, it also increases your stamina, fortifies your muscles,
and bones, and keeps you healthy.
However, there is disagreement over whether wearing sports
shoes is preferable to going barefoot when walking on grass. Some people think
that going for a barefoot walk in the woods will help you feel better overall.
So, is walking without shoes truly better?
In Indian Yoga, barefoot walking holds a special position.
Your feet directly contact the earth and grass when you are wearing no shoes.
Your brain may generate more happy chemicals as a result, which can aid in
stress management and overall happiness. It can also considerably strengthen
the bones and muscles in your legs. So, if you have the chance, try strolling
through a field of grass. It may be helpful.
The following considerations should be made when going
barefoot:
- On grassy meadows, you must only go barefoot.
- Steers clear of any fields that have glass, bricks, or nails.
- Avoid navigating rocky terrain without shoes.
- It is safer to wear shoes if you have diabetes to avoid developing foot infections.
However, there is nothing improper about walking in shoes.
It lowers your risk of knee and back problems by supporting your arch,
strengthening your leg muscles and bones, and maintaining the shape of your
feet. So, instead of viewing shoes as the enemy, consider their advantages.
But make sure the shoes you pick out are high-quality. Shoes
of poor quality can injure your feet, even resulting in infections and leg
pain. Walking is best done in soft-soled shoes with good arch support, which
can also help to avoid a few health problems.
Aim to walk for at least 30 minutes each day, preferably
five days a week, to lead a healthy lifestyle. The secret to maintaining your
health and feeling your best is to stick to this program.
