Ben Wang reported on November 8th that a recent health study within the Japanese medical community has revealed an interesting connection between appetite and shoe size. According to the report, if someone is experiencing a poor appetite, it might be worth checking whether their shoes fit properly. Dr. Li Huiying, director of the Department of Gastroenterology at Tianjin Affiliated Hospital of the Second Affiliated Hospital, agrees with this idea. In traditional Chinese medicine, the feet are considered the root of the body, and the meridians running through them directly influence the nervous system of internal organs. When shoes don’t fit well, discomfort in the feet can lead to reduced appetite and negatively affect digestive function.
Dr. Li explained that appetite is often based on conditioned reflexes. While physiological factors play a role, psychological elements also impact appetite through the autonomic nervous system’s control over the gastrointestinal tract. Any physical or emotional discomfort can trigger changes in eating habits. The feet, made up of bones, muscles, tendons, blood vessels, and nerves, contain 66 acupoints connected to six meridians, four of which are related to digestion and absorption. These points have multiple nerve connections to internal organs.
Wearing high heels, thin-soled shoes, or shoes with hard soles for extended periods can cause foot pain, leading to stress, sadness, or even depression via nerve signals. Excessive emotions can activate the sympathetic nervous system, which suppresses the secretion of digestive enzymes, resulting in loss of appetite or even anorexia. Pain can also increase serotonin levels in the body, affecting gut motility and significantly reducing appetite through neural biochemical mechanisms.
Moreover, when shoes compress the feet, poor circulation can stimulate the hypothalamus, the brain’s feeding center, causing a feeling of loss of appetite or even anorexia. Therefore, Dr. Li advises people, especially children, to avoid wearing shoes that are too small, tight, or high, as they can hinder blood circulation and metabolism, potentially affecting overall growth and development.
