Why keep our feet warm

There are a number of nerves in the soul of your feet. These nerves are directly connected to your central nervous system. When we fall off to sleep our central nervous system also goes into a state of relaxation. Our brains and central nervous system, which are at a constant, state of alertness and are in sync during the day. Thus it is essential for the nervous system to relax when you sleep.

It is a proven fact that cold impairs the central nervous system to a certain degree. The extent to which it is impaired depends on the severity of the cold. When we cover up our feet we are covering up our nerve endings, which would otherwise be exposed to the cold.

Thus we directly prevent the cold environment around us from having any bearing on the central nervous system. Thus are nervous system is permitted to unwind with the right level of comfort.

Wearing of socks while you go to sleep is recommended especially if you inhabit a cold climate.
