Most of us know that exercise is essential for healthy living and walking is a good way of exercising, but there is more to it. The organs of your body have their sensory touches at the bottom of your foot according to the theory of Meridians (经络) system, also known as the Channel theory. You will find relief from aches and pains if you press the pressure points on your foot. Well, you can pay for foot massage and visit an acupuncture practitioner regularly, or just keep walking. When you walk, you keep pressing these pressure points and thus keep these organs activated at all time, and you get all of the benefits for free! That is one of the simplest tips for healthy living.






The theory of Meridians (经络) system, also known as the Channel theory, is the foundation of the traditional Chinese medicine that has been developed and practiced over 2,500 years.
