Want to boost
your memory? Go barefoot!
New Delhi: Earthing or walking barefoot
on sand, grass or soil is associated with astonishing health benefits. Many
doctors suggests that walking barefoot not only improves sleep but also
increases levels of antioxidants in the body and reduces inflammation.
Apart from all these health blessings,
it is now scientifically proven that walking barefoot boosts our working
memory.
The researchers from the University of
North Florida in the US said that the running barefoot leads to better
cognitive performance. This practice improves our ability to recall and process
information.
The researchers enlisted 72
participants between the ages of 18 and 44, who ran both barefoot and with
shoes on at a comfortable, self-selected pace for approximately 16 minutes.
Working memory was measured before and
after running.
The
results of this research, published in the journal Perceptual and Motor Skills,
found a significant increase -- approximately 16 percent -- in working memory
performance in the barefoot-running condition.
