Flat floors damage your body Walking on flat floors in shoes with heels limits the movement of the feet, which causes uneven pressure & weakening of the muscles. This can lead to constrained and incorrect postures as well as stress pains on the musculoskeletal system, which increase over time. A weak foot musculature is the main cause of: • Back pain • Knee- and hip damage • Vein disorders • Foot diseases such as hallux and heel spur • Numerous other complaints Walk yourself fit In the kybun shoe, standing and walking on the elastic, springy surface, distributes the weight evenly and allows the foot maximum freedom of movement. This protects the joints, trains the muscles and balances postures. Walking on the elastic springy kybun sole: • Allows a natural distribution of pressure on the foot • Protects the joints • Relaxes and relieves the back • Activates the leg and vein circulation • Trains the deep muscles Red areas Yellow areas Green areas Blue areas Excessive pressure. Leads inevitably to chronic strain reactions over longer periods Average pressure load. To avoid calluses, pressure points and provide relief. Low-pressure load. Foot soles are protected and put under less pressure. The distribution of the foot pressure should be as close as possible to 50:50 in relation to both the front and back andthe left and right areas. Compare the distribution between barefoot and wearing the kybun shoe and check how quickly the forces from compressed loads are absorbed.

But spending time outside can put us in con- tact with ticks that can carry Lyme disease. Lyme disease is spread through the bite of an infected blacklegged tick, which can be found almost anywhere in Ontario. So with the warmer weather here, it's impor- tant to remember to take precautions to re- duce contact with ticks when venturing out to hike, camp or garden. If you're living in, or visiting, wooded areas with tall grass and bushes or moist environments, make sure you take the following precautions: • Stay on marked trails where possible. • Wear long sleeves, pants, socks and closed shoes. • Tuck pants into socks. • Wear light-coloured clothing to make ticks more visible. • Use insect repellent with DEET or icari- din on clothes and exposed skin. • Check your body thoroughly for ticks af- ter being outdoors -- promptly removing ticks can help prevent infec- tion. Ticks are oppor- tunists and will hitch a ride on our pets putting your family at risk. Check your pets for ticks daily and talk with your vet about keeping your pet protected.

HEALTH Reduce your risk of Lyme disease this summer Left untreated, Lyme disease can cause serious health problems. An infection can lead to recurring arthritis, neurological prob- lems, numbness and paralysis. If you ex- perience symptoms like a skin rash, head- ache, fever, muscle or joint pain after a tick bite, consult a healthcare professional. Most cases of Lyme disease can be treated successfully with antibiotics when caught early.
