Whenever the seasons change, many people will always have symptoms such as colds and fevers. The main reason is the temperature difference between day and night and the rapid changes in temperature. Many people fail to add or remove clothes in time, which leads to them getting sick. Summer has arrived. In such hot weather, we still see many people catching colds and fevers. The main reason is related to the use of air conditioners and fans at home. Not covering the quilt at night causes cold air to enter the body, especially children whose immunity is not as good as in all aspects. Adults are more likely to catch colds and get sick.
Children like to run around barefoot on the ground. Parents often chase their children when they see them, and have to put socks on their children, or prevent them from running around on the ground, fearing that the cold air will enter through the soles of their feet and cause colds. There are many points on the human foot, and the internal organs correspond to corresponding acupuncture points. This is why Chinese medicine can determine the cause of a person's physical problems by pressing the soles of the feet and feeling pain. Our elders have always told us to keep our feet warm, especially in winter. Many people like to soak their feet. Whenever they soak their feet, they always feel a shiver and feel the cold air in their bodies spreading to the outside.
Cold starts from the feet, so many people think that colds in children are mostly caused by cold feet entering. Babies are more likely to catch cold if they run around barefoot. This must be true, but it needs to be judged according to different situations. Going barefoot is not without its benefits. Parents should know the following two major benefits.
The body has stronger balance and coordination ability
The first benefit is that it allows children to have stronger balance ability and be more stable. The human body has a strong sense of perception. Usually when we touch some food with our hands, we can distinguish some things through touch. Not yet If you get close to some objects, you can feel the temperature with your hands at a distance and make judgments. If you touch the ground with your feet, you can also feel more at ease. Children can get better feedback when walking barefoot on the ground. They can adjust their walking posture and change the direction of travel through different surfaces, which will help children keep walking steadily and have stronger body coordination.
Many parents are too protective of their children and are unwilling to let their children touch the ground directly. In foreign countries, they are more open-minded and will put their children on wooden floors, beaches, and small stone roads to let them feel it so that they can adapt to various surfaces faster. Thereby accelerating their walking ability and body coordination. Some children walk unsteadily and are prone to bumps and bumps. This may be due to overprotective parents.
The tactile nerve develops faster
The second major benefit is to stimulate the development of the child's tactile nerve. When the baby touches the ground, the sensations from different surfaces are different. Through constant contact stimulation, the child's tactile nerve development can be accelerated. You can try to let your children feel the smooth, rough, and soft ground, so that their sensitivity will be stronger. In fact, not only children, but adults also like to go barefoot, which can give them a very relaxing feeling. Being closer to the ground makes them feel more at ease and gives them a different feeling. This is actually the same for babies.
Parents’ worries about the baby’s soles touching the ground, causing cold air to enter and get sick, can actually be avoided. For example, when the weather is very hot and the ground is not very cold, parents can let their children walk barefoot at home. This will not do any harm to them. , if the weather is like winter and there is no floor heating on the floor at home, the baby cannot be allowed to walk barefoot, as this will make it easy for the baby to get sick. Nothing can be killed with one stick, and needs to be dealt with flexibly according to the situation. Of course, if you let your baby walk barefoot, you must pay attention to whether the ground is non-slip. The baby's balance is not as good as that of adults, and it is easy to fall and cause unnecessary trouble. This must be paid attention to.
