Pattycake Online Camping

catcher and other reactions

One of the most interesting phenomena in bare feet, the sight it We note.

first if you go barefoot for the most natural thing in the world, it is for the people .
second
If you watch, whether watching the people, because you're running barefoot, then watch the people.

third If you're of the opinion that you are the only barefoot runner throughout the pedestrian zone an outcast, an obscene under-dog, are a social disgrace that should be ashamed of, then people will treat you well.

In psychology this is called the Pygmalion effect. Common sense says this: "How it into echoes in the forest, comes around."

It is not possible, non-verbally to lie. And if someone signaled uncertainty, then people take notice. You wonder what might well be the reason. You see the bare feet. You will learn - in this moment! - That walking barefoot is a reason to be insecure. To put it pointedly

put, we put itself in this case close to the people to consider walking barefoot as something abnormal.

way: 99% of people do not respond to Barefoot, 0.9% respond positively, 0.1% babbling nonsense.

... and at some point the hated dirt roads were inevitable between. But lo and behold, what once drove the BF beginners the tears in my eyes, I could now legally loose take. Larger chunks of nervous still, but you can also see and avoid it can. It is the finding that BF-country skiing has a habituation effect.

A common error is the way that people's only the result of a growing cornea.

First, it would be more appropriate to speak in this connection by a thicker dermis (the cornea is dead, lives dermis). Second the skin on the soles not only thicker, but especially flexible, stretchable. Third plays in my view, the much stronger muscles of a BFers a role, which - together with a repetitive rote acquired improved perception on the soles - suited to distribute pressure points. Fourth on the experienced BFer in difficult ground automatically to a pace that the ball more emphasis to. Fifth develops the instinct again, which are increasingly herumlaviert unconsciously to Ouch sites.

Life can be so simple.

Again the medical point of view ...

Noch'n Quote:

"From the perspective of today's medical research is a shoe that is actually no more best for your feet." Shoes protect feet from environmental influences such as cold, Feuchtigkei t or broken, "said Gert-Peter Brüggemann, head of the Institute of Biomechanics and Orthopaedics at the German Sports University in Cologne. "That's their only advantage." Otherwise, they limited our movements. "The later the man's shoes and gets the less he wears them, the healthier are his feet," said Mark Walter, senior consultant at the Center for Sports Medicine and Foot Surgery Center of Ortho Munich.

be busy these statements by scientific studies in countries where many people who for financial reasons, no shoes. In India and the Congo was found that the foot more more likely to puncture develops, the earlier and more often depending huh day he was stuffed into a shoe.

shoes are especially not for children's feet. Most children are born with healthy feet. If her feet at first appear strange record, this is only a transitional stage. says "You do not need support from shoes, much less a foot bed," Walther. "Your foot is directed only with the fourth to sixth year, when ligaments and muscles have become stronger." This spring stabilize the arch. With the later clinical flatfoot this Entwicklung nichts zu tun."

Hoe Maak Je Imilena Cake?

American scientists have found ...

Ich hoffe, Euer Angelsächsisch hält das aus:

"Dr. Irene Davis, a professor of physical therapy at the University of Delaware, conducted controlled experiments measuring impact shock in barefoot and shod runners. She found that, because barefoot runners naturally adopt a fore-foot strike as opposed to the rear-foot strike pattern favored by shod runners, shock to the lower extremities is significantly less in barefoot runners. The shock also decreased in shod runners who adopted a forefoot landing style.

Free from the constraints of shoes, Davis found, musculature in the arches benefits. “When you’re barefoot and you don’t have any support under the arch, especially when you are hiking on uneven terrain, your feet have to work really hard to stabilize you. If you don’t have something underneath supporting it, the foot muscles are going to have to work harder. So I really think that hiking and even just walking barefoot helps to strengthen the muscles of the arch.” In some ways, she says, “We’ve just taught our feet to be lazy.”

That’s something first-time barefoot hikers often discover the next day, especially if they’re used to wearing shoes for most of their walking. Barefoot hiking not only provides exercise for the arches, it also works muscles in the lower extremities in ways that shoes can inhibit."

Preparing For Plan B Morning After

why we have standardized and

This blog is supposed to answer the question why people do not walk barefoot, although the most sensible would be. Nino Cerutti found in the magazine "Cicero" a possible answer:

"Men are most uncertain about fashion why they like two things that the mainstream and the aura of power, the man's suit was in time.. expressed mainly inherited economic power and discipline, so the ruler and the dress uniform: He who represents an external order out of this convention. breaks out, the withdrawal points to claim to power, but also makes it vulnerable. We think of Francis of Assisi, who was wearing only his robe and went barefoot. Or Mahatma Gandhi, who looked at historical photos along with politicians in his traditional garb are so vulnerable. He wanted a change in values and called for tolerance, and also saw his clothes, which was very individual and cultural identity was self-consciously "

(In this connection I would like to point out that I can recommend the magazine "Cicero" in general.)

We learn, what we call "normal" view, has to do with rational criteria or standards in the technical sense at all. to this fact is registered but only if you look now and then dares to unreflective normality, norms, and other "certainties" notices.




I will not pretend I found it always easy to go against my environmental standards. But I am convinced that it is important to overcome sometimes do so.
