>>990376I've been barefooting for 2 years. No hookworms yet. Benifits that I've noticed are:
Better stamina
Better balance
Better walking speed
Now comes some weird stuff, but I swear it's true.
I sleep better
I can "see" with my feet. Basically just like feeling your way around rather than needing to see everything.
There's the whole concept of "grounding" where all the electricity that gets stored up in your body is discharged by the negative electrons in the earth, leading to all kinds of health benefits.
Not trying to be one of those pretentious "MUH NATURAL GAIT" hippies. Just trying to present the other side of the coin.
