JAKARTA - Walking without footwear outside the room is usually referred to as grounding' or earthing' due to physical contact of the body with Earth. There is some evidence that grounding may have some benefits, including anti-inflammatory properties.

Footwear walks are also becoming a habit of some overseas celebrities, either for health or just convenience, ranging from Cate Blanchett, Jacob Elordi, Shawn Mendes, Chris Pine, and most recently Kacey Musgraves walking footwearless even in public.

Written on the Eating Well page, the study published in 2015 and published in the Journal of Inflammation Research which observed 20 case studies concluded that direct contact with the earth could help reduce inflammation caused by injury.

Another small study in 2012 published in the Journal of Environmental and Public Health concluded that footwear walks can help reduce inflammation, relieve stress and even reduce some risks of cardiovascular disease.

This is thought to be due to the displacement of earth's electrons from the ground into the body, according to the researchers' conclusion. Walking is a great activity for your overall health, and you can do it with sneakers. But as long as you don't experience chronic pain in your feet or need a buffer provided by walking shoes, there's nothing wrong with walking without footwear in a limited time, especially in your own backyard.

Although the concept of walking without footwear sounds promising, the research is still very limited. In addition, walking in general (with or without shoes) has been shown to have anti-inflammatory effects, relieve stress, and can help lower blood pressure.

So you can still reap these benefits with the support of sneakers. In addition, walking without footwear in public will increase the chances of injury significantly if you step on something dangerous. Just pay attention to where you step in and shower after that, also talk to the doctor if you have a question before adding a walk without shoes into your routine.
