When you are accustomed to traveling always by car, going on foot can be a new found pleasure. Wheels may get you there sooner, but for the sheer pleasure of travel, what can beat your feet?—when in good condition. Only on foot can you fully enjoy the earth. The beauty of the majestic hills, the fragrance of the delightful forest and the songs of birds are most enjoyed when you are walking.
However, your feet do more than make you self-mobile. They respond automatically to your senses, and to your inward emotions. They stamp the floor in anger, leap for joy and pace during anxiety.
Those who are older, and able to get out and walk, give their hearts, lungs and muscles the exercise they need, resulting in increased blood circulation, better appetite and ability to sleep well.
What exhilaration you can experience when you run, dance, skate or even take a casual stroll! Surely your feet were designed to cooperate with all your other members for the well-being of your entire body. Should they not be treated as something of great value?
Your estimation of their value will increase when you see your feet from the viewpoint of a foot specialist or even an engineer. Although simple in structure, they are mighty in strength. They will probably walk in the vicinity of 75,000 miles in an average lifetime of seventy to eighty years. To absorb all the shock associated with this, each foot consists of an intricate arrangement of 26 bones and 214 ligaments.
So if you are getting bored traveling using your car, try using your amazing feet, it may just do the trick!
