Don’t walk barefoot!!! there are dangerous risks
Boldsky published a report advising people not to walk barefoot at home for several reasons, and some pediatricians, who specialize in treating foot or lower leg problems, are likely to walk barefoot inside the house, resulting in structural problems and damage to the feet.
1. Knee and back pain
Walking barefoot hampers foot function, and causes knee and back pain. Barefoot feet are compromised and their vital function is adversely affected, especially when walking on hard surfaces, which causes tremendous strain on the foot and the rest of the body.
Experts explain that when walking barefoot, feet fluctuate for longer periods, changing biostructures, weight distribution, and foot pressure.
This imbalance can affect other parts of the body, such as the knees and back. Thus, a person can feel pain after a long day of walking barefoot or wearing shoes that do not support the foot arc, such as slippers and other flat shoes. According to Arabic Net.
When a person ages, experts advise against walking barefoot at home, especially women over the age of 50 who lose the fat pillow on the foot, thereby reducing their cushioning, thereby reducing their ability to protect their knees, thighs, and lower back from injury.
2-Imbalance and foot distortions
The imbalance caused by walking barefoot on hard surfaces can lead to the development of underlying foot abnormalities, such as tumors, and will lead to painful conditions such as heel pain, hind tendinitis, and Achilles tendinitis.
3-Infection
Walking barefoot also displays bacterial and fungal organisms, which can infect skin and nails. Infections caused by bacteria and fungi can affect the shape, smell, and comfort of the foot.
4. Aggravation of diabetes symptoms
Diabetics should not walk barefoot in public to avoid skin infections. Skin infections, such as fungi, can affect the moisturization of diabetic skin, changing its tissue and color and leading to swelling.
