The Great Outdoors

Walking barefoot: packaged, productised and marketed

March 25, 2008 · By Monica Shaw

Yes, reflexology paths:

The beneficial effects on your whole body of stimulating your feet is the basis of the ancient practice of reflexology. In China, reflexology paths paved with different types of stone have been around for thousands of years and are regularly walked on for relaxation and to promote longevity.

Research published in the Journal of the American Geriatrics Society in 2005 showed that walking reflexology paths three times a week for 30 minutes a session over 16 weeks can reduce blood pressure and improve balance.

Madness.

    i wonder if their reduced blood pressure has more to do with walking 30 minutes three times a week than with reflexology!?
