Give your feet a treat.
Give your feet a treat and benefit your entire
body! Looks like I will never get through telling you
about all the new things we saw at the Health Food
Convention! 1 wanted to wait and see some beneficial
results before I got too excitedl
I’m excited now! First, 1 will tell you what benefits
Suzanne and 1 have received. Of course, we bought
ours at the convention so we could be guinea pigs for
y’all.
First, Suzanne has always had cramps for several
days before her monthly cycle. After wearing the
sandals-she experienced absolutely none. She also
says she is not as tired at the end of the “day after
standing on hef feet all day.
Both of us are nuts about-keeping our feet free of
callouses. When you stand a lot or wear high heels
daily-they can be a problem. We found we don’t
have to combat that problem nearly like we did.
At the booth, there were orientals that—were
doctors of some sort (1 don’t know what kind) that
examined our feet. I was told 1 had ’’hammer toes”,
of all things. Thatmeans my toes turn down rather
than stick straight out. This is supposed to cause a lot
of trouble the older yoirget. Naturally, if I take all my
supplements to keep me young and spry-1 don’t
want to give my age away by crippling around! 1
Do you know my toes are straightening out! The
other thing 1 notice is my feet turn pink when I’m
wearing them as they have really improved my
circulation. 1 always take Vit. E and Niacin for
, circulation and they help but my-feet always stay on
the cool side. I can take my Kenkoh sandals off and
my feet feel very warm.
How about a run-down on what these sandals are
supposed to do and why? They are designed to help
improve yuu: biuud ciicuiation ami stimulate the
pressure points on the soles of your feet as you walk.
The soft and extremely resilient rubber fingerr
rhythmically massage the soles of your feet, which
are considered just as important as your heart.
The massaging action excites the so=called
“Pressure Points” (discovered by Oriental Medi-
cine) on the soles and toes. This stimulates the vital
organs throughout your entire body to bring you a
sense of spiritual and physical well being. Hard
exercise stimulates your glands so these sandats help
make up for lack of exercise.
For the first 3 or 4 days, wear no more than 10 or
20 minutes a day. Work up wearing time ’til you can
wear as long as you like. We wear ours all day
whenever possible. —
If you have serious heart trouble or high blood
pressure, please consult your doctor before wearing
Kenkoh sandals. Like 1 said, they really get your
blood to pumping!
Enjoy wearing Kinkoh sandals! Stay young,
healthy and attractive 1

SIDE SALAD ADDS VARIETY
If you’re looking for variety in meals, and at the same
time trying to please the family, introduce yourself to the
concept of side salads. Pear Yogurt Salad, for example,
is a refreshing salad that adds color, flavor and texture
to the simplest meal. Give eating excitement to a plate
of rolled ham slices and cheese triangles with a salad that
combines apricot flavor gelatin, plain yogurt, diced fresh
or canned pears and chopped celery. It turns out to be a
satisfying meal with the addition of a crisp hot roll and
glass of cold milk. Whether chilled in a three-cup mold
or individual molds, this side salad promises to com-
plement a variety of favorite meat entrees.
PEAR YOGURT SALAD
1 package (3 oz.) Jell-0 apricot flavor gelatin
1 cup boiling water
1 container (8 oz.) plain yogurt
1-1/3 cups diced fresh pear?*
1/4 cup chopped celery
•Or use 1 can (16 oz.) sliced pears, drained and diced.
Dissolve gelatin in boiling water. Blend in yogurt and
chill until thickened. Fold in pears and celery. Pour into
individual molds or a 3-cup mold. Chill until firm, about 3
hours. Unmold. Serve with crisp salad greens, if desired.
Makes 2-2/3 cups or 5 servings.
