Health: Care Of Your Sight

Eyes Care Is A Serious - How To Take Care Of Your Sight

Our expert has been talking about the care of the eyes lately. 

Don't take the Care of your eyes for granted. Take these easy steps to keep your eyes healthy.

 Nutrition Is All

Good eye health starts with the food on your plate.

 Nutrients like omega-3 fatty acids, lutein, zinc, and 

vitamins C and E might help ward off age-related vision problems

 like macular degeneration and cataracts. To get them, let the following make your meal:

Green leafy vegetables like spinach, kale, and collards

Salmon, tuna, and other oily fish
Eggs, nuts, beans, and other nonmeat protein sources

Oranges and other citrus fruits or juices
Oysters and pork

A well-balanced diet also helps you stay at a healthy weight. 

That lowers your odds of obesity and related diseases like type 2 diabetes, which is the leading cause of blindness in adults 

Computer Screen can be a threat

Staring at a computer or phone screen for too long can cause the following :

Eyestrain
Blurry vision
Trouble focusing at a distance
Dry eyes
Headaches
Neck, back, and shoulder pain

To protect your eyes against these:

Make sure your glasses or contacts prescription is up to date and good for looking at a computer screen.


If your eye strain won’t go away, talk to an expert about computer glasses (it helps).


Move the screen so your eyes are level with the top of the monitor. 

That lets you look slightly down at the screen.
Try to avoid glare from windows and lights. Use an anti-glare screen if needed (your sight is more important than the cost).

Choose a comfortable, supportive chair. Position it so that your feet are flat on the floor.


If your eyes are dry, blink more.
Rest your eyes every 20 minutes. 

Look 20 feet away for 20 seconds. Get up at least every 2 hours and take a 15-minute break.


Guard Your Eyes Jealously

If you use hazardous or airborne materials on the job or at home, wear safety glasses or protective goggles.

Sports like ice hockey, racquetball, and lacrosse can also lead to eye injury(Be careful if you must participate in these sports) Wear eye protection. 

Helmets with protective face masks or sports goggles with polycarbonate lenses will shield your eyes.

Smoke is dangerous

Smoking makes you more likely to get cataracts, damage to your optic nerve, and macular degeneration. 

If you've tried to kick the habit  before only to start again, (try the HolyGost, He'll help you overcome it in a twinkle of an eye)


 Wear Sunglasses

The right pair of shades will help protect your eyes from the sun's ultraviolet (UV) rays.

 Too much UV exposure boosts your chances of cataracts and macular degeneration.

Choose a pair that blocks 99% to 100% of UVA and UVB rays. Wraparound lenses help protect your eyes from the side. Polarized lenses reduce glare while you drive.

If you wear contact lenses, some offer UV protection. It's still a good idea to wear sunglasses for an extra layer.

Simple Steps To Good Shape

YOUR BEAUTY IN SIMPLE STEPS

Implement these fat-burning tips that use exercise and diet and accomplish your desired figure.




The body is a remarkably adaptable machine. Even if years and years of neglect have allowed pound after pound of fat to fill out your frame, you can rid yourself of that lard at a much faster rate than it accumulated.

 TAKE YOUR EYES OFF THE SCALE
That you can gain muscle and lose fat is one of the reasons We stress to people not to follow the scale.
Body composition and how you look in the mirror matters more than what the scale says.
You could train hard and eat right and build five pounds of muscle and lose five pounds of fat, and what will the scale say? That you still weigh the same.
Frustrating, even though you've made good progress. Use the scale as a guide, but how you look in the mirror, how you feel, and how your clothes fit are much better indicators of your progress - you know they say shape is everything...

REDUCE YOUR CALORIES GRADUALLY
If you're looking to lose fat, don't make huge calorie cuts. This will kick your body into starvation mode (nobody enjoys starvation) reducing your metabolism and making it more difficult to burn off the fat ( that is goal defeated).
To prevent this metabolic slowdown and allow your body to burn fat at an optimal rate, make smaller calorie reductions every week or two.



VARY YOUR CALORIC INTAKE
This is another way to outsmart your body and continue to lose body fat without lowering your metabolism.
By varying your caloric intake every few days instead of eating the exact same amount of calories every day, keep the starvation mechanism in check and continue to burn fat.
Although in today's society food tends to be accessible and abundant, our bodies are designed to store as much energy as possible to prepare for times of scarcity. One way the body does this is by adjusting its metabolic rate based on calorie intake.
If you stick with the same calories every single day while dieting, your body will adjust by lowering metabolic rate to prevent you from burning off too much body fat. It's all about hormones.
When leptin levels are high, your metabolic rate stays high; when leptin levels drop, so does your metabolic rate.
When calories are low and steady, leptin levels fall and so does metabolic rate. Eating higher calories on some days and lower calories on others helps to keep leptin levels up, says an expert.

TRAIN WITH WEIGHTS
Resistance training helps with fat loss in many of ways. Weight training itself burns calories. Studies also show that, unlike aerobic exercise, weight training increases the calories you burn at rest for up to thirty nine hours after your workout.
Plus, the more muscle your body has, the more calories you burn each day.
Even if your goal is solely to lose body fat, you need to train with weights. This will help prevent any of the weight you lose from being muscle.
Were that to happen, your metabolism would slow, stalling your fat-loss efforts and turning you into a skinny-fat person.
Yes, even someone with anorexia can have a high body fat percentage.

DO HIGH-INTENSITY INTERVALS
This means alternating a brief period of high-intensity exercise with brief rest periods.
The result: better results in less time.
One of the favorite interval methods we recommend is jumping rope . You may need to practice a bit on this one. After a brief warmup, jump rope as fast as you can for 10-20 seconds, followed by a half a minute at a slower cadence.
Always warm up before intervals, by the way. If you're not in the best shape, start with cardio of low or moderate intensity. You might also want to check with your doctor.
We will pause here to allow for practice and interaction, your view is very important to us. If you find these tips very helpful don't forget to share with your friends.
