Cardiologist Advises Daily 15-30 Minute Barefoot Walking for Health Benefits
Cardiologist Dr. Alok Chopra recommends walking barefoot for 15 to 30 minutes daily to improve health by reconnecting with the Earth. This practice, known as grounding or earthing, may help discharge excess electrical charges from the body, supporting the repolarisation of cells and promoting healthy circulation. Additionally, barefoot walking can enhance foot strength, improve posture, reduce stress, and support emotional well-being and relaxation, contributing to overall physical and mental health.
