BENEFITS OF WALKING BAREFOOT ON THE BEACH OR THE GROUND

1. Reduces inflammation and pain

Direct contact with the earth helps the body absorb a negative electrical charge from the earth into the body and they neutralize excess free radicals that build up in the body due to stress. Stress is the cause of all chronic diseases.

Every time you ground yourself, you reduce inflammation and pain in the body, this natural anti-inflammatory is the drug-free therapy of choice, it is free, easy to do and improves quality of life.

2. Improves blood circulation and reduces blood viscosity

Walking barefoot on the beach stimulates acupressure points on the soles of the feet, helping to increase blood circulation. One study found that grounding reduced blood viscosity by 273%, suggesting a potential reduction in the risk of cardiovascular disease.

Sometimes, I feel weak in my right limbs along with difficulty breathing, which means my blood is not circulating well to my heart. So, I walk barefoot on the beach for more than 1 hour and these symptoms will go away. It is more effective than walking with shoes. If these symptoms occur and I walk with shoes on for more than 1 hour, the symptoms will still persist.

3. Improve sleep quality and reduce stress.

Grounding helps regulate circadian rhythms, reduce cortisol levels (stress hormones), thereby improving sleep quality and reducing stress.

4. Reduce blood pressure

Grounding can help lower blood pressure. A case series study reported that participants had a reduction in systolic blood pressure after grounding sessions.

5. Stimulate the nervous system

Acupressure points on the feet are massaged when walking barefoot, allowing the feet to be regularly stimulated, helping to increase nerve sensitivity.

The above benefits show that walking barefoot not only brings a feeling of comfort but also has a positive impact on overall health.
