We have many ways to get close to nature,such as dancing in the rain,stepping on fallen leaves or digging in the soil,but my favourite is walking barefoot(赤脚).
Walking barefoot can be enjoyable and helpful.It can help us sleep better and feel rested in mind and body.It can also build our foot muscles(肌肉)and improve our balance.According to Traditional Chinese Medicine,walking barefoot can be good for our health.
When you want to try walking barefoot,there's no need to hurry.At first,walking barefoot for 10 minutes can be fine.After that,add 5 minutes every day until you can walk for 20 to 30 minutes.If your feet hurt,take a break of curtail the time.
Walking barefoot,however,isn't always safe.People with health problems like flat feet or back pain should avoid this practice.What's more,walking barefoot in cold or wet environments might cause health problems.To make walking barefoot safe,remember the following points:
●Choose safe places,like soft grass or warm sand.
● Stay away from things like rocks or broken glass.
● Keep shoes at hand if you worry that your feet will get too sore.
●Listen to your body—stop if you feel pain or discomfort.
Walking barefoot is a great way to feel connected with nature,but it's important to stay safe and consider your own health condition.
