Walking barefoot improves eyesight?!
🦶 Walking barefoot stimulates nerve endings in your feet, linked to the brain’s visual centre and relaxes the eye muscles, and improves eyesight.
👁️ Barefoot walking and peripheral vision share a vital neurological connection through proprioception (your body’s awareness of its position in space) and balance.
🕳️ Reducing tunnel vision & open peripheral awareness.
👣 Acupressure points on the first, second, and third toes correspond directly to the optic nerves & releases eye strain.
🧍 Grounding practices are shown to decrease stress levels, which lead to an overall well-being
Optician says it doesn’t change the shape of eye balls but our vision is more than just eyes 👀
It involves our mind & body. Besides, our eyes are liquid filled balls and the shape can change more than we think - mine did!
There is too much glass around Bristol, so I’ve bought these lightweight five toes Vibram!
It took several months to transition to barefoot shoes, but it feels great and helped my knee problem too!
Top tip: if you don’t want to buy anything, just wear barefoot at home 🦶
