As we grow older, our motor controls, muscle mind connection gets weaker. That is what we have been trained to believe. Well, that is not exactly the case. Yes age plays a role, but what makes this degradation of your quality of life speedy is lack of play, and lack of stimulation.
There are millions of nerve endings under your feet that send feedback from the ground to our mind and enable you to balance and to move with complete control.
Every time you wear thick cushioned shoes, that connection gets compromised. This leads to lack of balance, lack of control and a lack of freedom.
Today old people are seen wearing really thick cushioned shoes. A reason for this is to prevent pain in their ankles and knees. Now as good as it may seem, there’s multiple studies that prove that shoes that have a heel to toe drop, that are narrow, that have a thick sole, cause more joint stress, and cause problems like plantar fasciitis, bunions, hammer toes and so many more shoe- caused deformities.
Barefoot shoes come up as the perfect solution for people who want to keep the play alive in their old age. Barefoot shoes not only regulate the nervous system but strengthen foot muscles and joints with every step that you take.
You get older much faster when you stop playing, it’s time to get back to truly living, living unbound with Zen Barefoot.
