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.

Throughout our lives, we subject our ears to loud sounds-music, power tools, lawn mowers, air travel-without using ear protection. Regrettably, this can cause hearing loss. Also, the natural aging pro- cess generally results in hearing loss. Even certain illnesses and medications can adversely affect our hearing. Unfortunately, hearing loss that occurs from such causes is permanent. The good news is, even if you already have a slight hearing loss, it's never too late to preserve your hear-hearing loss, it's never too late to preserve your hear-hearing loss, it's never too late to preserve your hear ing for the years ahead. The first thing you can do is protect your ears in noisy environments. Also, avoid using cotton swabs to clean your ears. And, make it a priority to get a baseline hearing screening to see if hearing loss has already occurred. If hearing loss is found during your hearing evalu- ation, it could be due to something as simple as excess ear wax or infection. This type of hearing loss is reversible. If hearing loss stems from chronic exposure to loud noise, aging, or certain illnesses and medications, hearing aids are the best way to preserve your good hearing. Modern hearing aids use super-tiny microproces- sor technology-making them virtually invisible when worn. Hearing aids can help almost all degrees of hearing loss-from a little to a lot. And, by stimulat- ing your brain with sound that might not otherwise reach it, hearing aids help keep your brain active, which lowers your risk for cognitive diseases, such as dementia. Ten risks you face if you don't get your hearing checked 1. Depression: Research shows that hearing loss is associated with depression amongst adults and especially women. 2. Cardiovascular Health: Inadequate blood flow and trauma to the blood vessels in the inner ear can contribute to hearing loss. 3. Diabetes: Those with diabetes are twice as likely to experience hearing loss. 4. Fitness Level: Research shows that lower fit- ness levels result in a higher risk of hearing loss. 5. Cancer Treatments: Certain Chemotherapy treatments for cancer can result in hearing loss. 6. Increased Fall Risk: Studies show that even a mild hearing loss makes people three times more likely to have a history of falling. 7. Cognitive Function: Ongoing research indicates that hearing instruments could delay or protect against dementia. 8. Pain Relievers: Ibuprofen and Acetaminophen are associated with an increased risk of hearing loss. 9. Auditory Deprivation: In individuals suffering from hearing loss, the brain may lose the ability to interpret words due to a lack of stimulation over an extended period of time. This condition can af-an extended period of time. This condition can af-an extended period of time. This condition can af fect patients who do not wear hearing aids, wear old hearing aids or wear only wear one hearing aid when two may be necessary. The lack of stimulation in this area of the brain causes a loss of the abil- ity to interpret and understand speech. The longer the delay of treatment for a hearing loss, the lesser chance it would be of benefit. 10.
