How the anti-shoe is pro-body:
Because of the specially designed sole, wearing MBTs significantly improves your gait and posture and relieves pressure on your joints and back. It also exercises a large number of muscles, whether you’re walking or standing. This, in turn, stimulates your metabolism, burns extra calories and speeds up muscle regeneration. In addition, MBTs can have a firming effect on abdominal, leg and buttock muscles.
The key to MBT is its patented sole structure.
The Shank, PU Midsole with Pivot and the Masai Sensor create a soft surface that is akin to walking barefoot on springy moss or on a sandy beach. This creates a natural instability underfoot, which activates the supporting muscle system and has positive effects on the entire body.

SmartSole Anti-Cellulite Insoles help to reduce cellulite, tone muscles, increase circulation, improve posture, reduce lower back pain, strengthen joints and diminish spider/varicose veins. SmartSole is a ¾ insole and presently available in one size.(fits womens sizes 5 1/2 - 8)
Customer Review: Not impressed
I had hoped for more. I wore these daily and I got more out of walking in a good pair of flip flops. Not for me. Lisa in Alabama
Customer Review: Great for Long Walks
These insoles are so comfortable. Even on long walks, my feet don't hurt. I don't know about the anti-cellulite aspect, but they would work for anyone who is on their feet a lot.


Summer is a great time for a salad like this. The ingredients in this salad are fresh and healthy. Usually, we think of salad as made from greens. Wild rice is not a rice but a grass and is also the state grain of Minnesota. Summer is also family get-together time - lots of outside days, reunions, days at the lake, or even just a simple picnic in a local park. This salad is the perfect dish to take along and share.

My friend, Dawn, in Knoxville, TN, was willing to share this recipe with me and I want to pass it along for others to enjoy. It is a requested dish served at her family's reunion each July. As with all great hand-me-down or share among friends recipes, there is some play in the quantities. I like that idea because you can start with a lesser amount of a seasoning and adjust to your tastes. Remember, you can always add, but it is not always easy to get too much of some ingredients out of a dish.

Salad Ingredients

  • 3 cups brown rice, cooked
  • 1-1/2 cups wild rice, cooked
    • Cook the rice the day before and store in a sealed container or bag. It is the same premise as making fried rice - chilled rice is what works! When you get ready to mix, blend the rice together. It will be sticky and that is exactly what you want.
  • cup golden raisins
  • cup toasted sesame seeds
  • cup toasted slivered almonds
  • cup chopped green olives

Dressing Ingredients

  • cup rice wine vinegar
  • cup Worcestershire Sauce
  • cup Balsamic vinegar
  • cup brown (apple cider) vinegar
  • 1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/3 cup olive oil or salad oil
  • 2 teaspoons liquid smoke
  • 1-2 teaspoons or 1-2 packets of sugar or sugar alternative (Splenda is usually what I use).
  • 2-3 packets of dried soup mix
    • Important note - all this is needed is 2 - 3-teaspoons of seasoning. The dried soup mix is not the package size that serves 3 -4 people. They are one serving size packages. Any brand or any flavor will work and this is important as not all brands are available nationally. Dawn uses Knorr or MBT beef broth flavor.In a pinch, you can use the packets of seasoning that come with the Ramen noodles.Remember though they are high is sodium if that is a diet consideration. You can also use dried soup base mix - just do 2-3 teaspoons, or adjust to your taste.
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried parsley

Instructions:

In a large mixing bowl, combine all ingredients and blend thoroughly.That's it!
Pretty easy to do - quick and ready to go.

The quantities in this recipe will serve a large group. Try cutting the amounts in half for a smaller group. It is the perfect outdoor dish because you don't have the issues of food spoilage with mayonnaise based salads, however, you do have use common sense with any foods left not refrigerated for long periods of time.
