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.

"For decades we've talked about how physical activity improves heart health, helps maintain healthy body weights, and builds strong bones and muscles in kids," said Dr. Mark Tremblay, Chief Scientific Officer, ParticipACTION Re- port Card and Director of the Children's Hospital of Eastern Ontario Research Institute's Healthy Active Living and Obesity Research Group (CHEO-HALO). "This year we wanted to dig deeper into what it does for their most complex or-what it does for their most complex or-what it does for their most complex or gan - their brain. From increased cog-gan - their brain. From increased cog-gan - their brain. From increased cog nitive skills to improved mental health, physical activity has profound impacts on kids' brain health. Yet, we now know that many Canadian children and youth are missing out on these benefits be- cause of a lack of physical activity. So, for their brains' sake, it's time to get kids sitting less and moving more." The 2018 ParticipACTION Report Card was released in concert with an evidence- informed Expert Statement on Physical Activity and Brain Health in Children and Youth. It finds that for better brain health - including cognition, brain function and mental health - all children and youth should be physically active on a regular basis. "Regular physical activity, even in short bursts, can help kids' brains on many levels," said Dr. Tremblay. "Kids who are more active have increased self-esteem and are generally more focused and less stressed compared to their less active peers. For example, students who exer-peers.

Further more, kids with brain-based disabilities, such as autism spectrum disorder or ADHD, may experience even greater im- provements in learning and thinking as a result of regular physical activity."
