Modifit Leg offers support for people with bowleggedness
Additionally, it can affect overall balance, walking posture and long-term joint health, especially as the knees take on more stress and load.
While the only permanent way to fix bowleggedness is through surgery, the Modifit Leg by Mytrex offers everyday support for people with bowleggedness. Launching on July 10, this product was designed based on therapy machines used in chiropractic and body alignment clinics.

It's simple yet powerful. By standing on the device and repeatedly opening and closing the legs at a specific angle, users can target and strengthen the deep hip rotator muscles, which are known to play a key role in correcting bowlegged posture. It supports muscle activation in the glutes and thighs while promoting a stable, well-aligned foot arch. It's compact and uses soft, washable materials so that you can use it every day.
Available online for ¥12,980.

Toto to release next-gen toilet tech that scans and keeps track of your poop
By SoraNews24 Japanese toilets have long been the envy of the world, thanks in no small part to the efforts of Toto and their groundbreaking washlets that use water to clean your nether regions after use, heat up in the winter, and play sounds to cover up any embarrassing sounds that may emerge. ▼ Godspeed, washlet. Image: PR Times They're not ones to rest on their laurels either and have been hard at work, creating the next evolution in toilet technology. This time, they're switching their focus from comfort to health and wellness, and what better window into our physical condition is there than our butts? The new Neorest line of toilets will include a system to monitor fecal matter as it is expelled and record it in a dedicated smartphone app. The scanner is installed next to the washlet water nozzle and works just like a barcode scanner to analyze turds as they move past. The consistency of movements will be classified into seven categories: Clumps (1), Lumpy (2), Cracked (3), Normal (4), Semi-Solid (5), Muddy (6), and Liquid (7). The shade of brown is also measured and given one of three categories. This data is logged for each time on the toilet and can be viewed on a smartphone app, which also offers lifestyle advice on how to have more consistently normal BMs. ▼ Blue lines show quantity, the color of the dot represents the color of the poop, and the position of the dot corresponds to the consistency category on the left. Image: PR Times Reaction to the news online was largely optimistic but also apprehensive. It's understandable since butt scanning and cataloging isn't something one jumps into easily. 'This is amazing. Sure, the technology is easy to copy, but it's good to be the first.' 'I don't like it. I don't want to be scanned.' 'I think it's good to monitor poop, but that will be too rigid. Every time blood is found, it will think there's colon cancer, and it will just give the same advice all the time.' 'The future is here. Imagine if you could get both a urine and stool test every day.' 'I'd be afraid if it scanned me and told me I stink.' 'I think this is great. Sometimes the toilet design makes it hard to check my poops.' 'To think, only decades ago we had toilets that were just holes in the ground. Look how far we've come.' 'What if a superhacker uncovers the color of my poops?' 'I think mine would break the system.' 'They're expensive, but I think it's worth it.' It's true that Neorest toilets do not come cheap. The two models' recommended retail prices are 493,900 yen and 542,300 yen. But many people will consider that an investment in improving their overall health and possibly saving money on medical costs, or even their lives, down the road. One problem is that you'd have to use the same kind of toilet every time for the best results. Neorest toilets may become more widespread in the future, but there's sure to be an awkward phase where you'd have to ask waiters if their restrooms have poop scanners. Hopefully, restaurants will have the decency to put up signs.

Milk made from yeast rather than animals or plants developed in Japan
By SoraNews24 It's unclear at exactly what point we as humans started to drink cow's milk, but it has since firmly entrenched itself as a key food in our daily lives, whether drunk straight, fermented into other dairy foods like cheese, butter, and yogurt, or as an ingredient in a range of things from fine cuisine to cups of coffee. But it's not without its setbacks. Many people still have trouble digesting the lactose or have a dangerous allergy to it, and others refrain out of ethical concerns related to the milking of cattle. Alternatives like soy milk and almond milk exist, but they never really taste the same and are more of their own drinks than actual substitutes. But now, major beverage maker Asahi believes they have concocted a worthy alternative to cow's milk that is not only non-allergenic but also ethically produced to meet everyone's dietary needs. Rather than animals or plants, Like Milk is derived from microorganisms for both taste and nutrition that rivals and surpasses that of other milk products. Asahi has been researching the yeast it uses to make beer for nearly a century now, and has finally found a way to retain the protein, vitamins, and other nutrients it contains while giving it the mellow sweetness and creamy texture milk is known for. As a result, Like Milk has more dietary fiber and zinc than either cow milk or soy milk and also has 38 percent less fat than whole cow's milk, while also being free of all 28 standard allergy-causing ingredients. ▼ The following chart shows the comparative values of energy, protein, fat, cholesterol, carbohydrates, digestible carbs, dietary fiber, calcium, and zinc in that order. Speaking of dietary fiber, Asahi warns drinkers that this milk is a lot higher in fiber than you might expect, so don't go chugging a liter of Like Milk in one sitting unless you enjoy spending time on the toilet. It's also slightly brown due to its unique creation and, unlike regular milk, it can be stored at room temperature for about six months if unopened, making it a handy, nutritious drink to keep in a disaster preparedness kit. ▼ It's a neutral color that blends in well with most home decor. Unfortunately, Like Milk is not at the mass production stage yet, so only limited quantities are being sold at this time. Asahi recently offered a batch on Japanese crowdfunding site Makuake and sold 2.2 million yen worth of it. They also had samples at the Vegan Gourmet Matsuri in Tokyo, where it got an 80-percent 'delicious' rating. Asahi plans to sell a limited run of one-liter cartons this fall and then hopes to get mass production underway sometime next year. They also hinted at research on a Like Egg product based on similar principles. In the meantime, if you can get your hands on some Like Milk to try it, consider yourself lucky, especially if you normally forego milk for health or ethical reasons.
