for Mother Nature. Walking carried out with full attention can avoid some of the possible issues include cuts, abrasions, bruises, or puncture wounds from glass, nails, rocks, or thorns, as well as poisonous plants, animals, or parasites that can enter the body through the cuts on an injured bare foot as well as having a much reduced incidence of problems such as callouses. When body does one thing and mind is somewhere else, it causes tension between the two. The tension is cause of tiredness.
Going barefoot is natural, painless and nondebilitating. Shoes are not necessary for healthy feet and are the cause of most foot troubles. Feet that have never worn shoes rarely exhibit problems such as bunions, corns, and fallen arches', aren't prone to more than ordinary foot eversion on standing and walking due to the associated weakness or stiffness of the joints of the foot and weakness of the muscles controlling them. Children who habitually go barefoot were found to have stronger feet, with better flexibility and mobility, fewer deformities like flat feet or toes that curve inwards, and fewer complaints detrimental to the longitudinal arch of the foot. A study found that shoes may increase stress on the knee and ankle, and suggested that adults who walked barefoot may have a lower rate of osteoarthritis.
Going barefooted all day long is not merely the best exercise for feet but a valuable step towards achieving good health and true happiness. The left and right feet together contain a quarter of the body's bones, and each foot also has 33 joints; 100 tendons, muscles, and ligaments; and countless nerves and blood vessels
