In many Indian households, not wearing slippers indoors is often due to religious beliefs or hygienic preferences. However, wearing supportive, flat slippers can significantly impact your health in positive ways.
Wearing slippers helps maintain warmth, supporting normal blood flow and enhancing the body’s immune response.
Despite clean appearances, household floors harbor unseen bacteria and germs. Wearing slippers safeguards against bacterial and fungal infections like athlete’s foot and toenail fungus, which thrive on indoor surfaces.
For infants and older adults, wearing slippers with good arch support promotes stability and balance.
Swollen feet, often a result of poor circulation or medical conditions like diabetes, can benefit from wearing orthopedically recommended slippers. These slippers support foot structure, improve blood flow, and reduce swelling.
