Is it possible for us to improve our vision on our own, naturally? Some say "No way! Vision loss comes with aging, and there ain't nothing you can do about it.
" Not so! There is plenty we can do! Here are Six Simple Solutions for Self Vision Care: (the secret is: consistency!) 1.
Boost Your Eye Chi (sometimes called Palming) This is one of my favorite most comforting things to do.
It feels great, relaxes and energizes the eyes, and can even clear the vision.
It's important to remember that eye sockets are charkas (energy centers) and its a good way to energize the brain! --Rub hands together --Cup each hand over each eye --Close eyes --Hold for a few minutes 2.
Stay well hydrated Dry eye can be a problem as people age.
Hydration (drinking enough water) is very important for eye health, and may be one of the contributing factors to dry eye.
Drink water equivalent to (at least) your body weight in ounces of every day.
3.
Ingest good fats and essential fatty acids.
Good healthy fatty oils are excellent for eye health and dry eye.
Flax seed oil is recognized by conventional medicine and science as something that can benefit the aging eye and research is there to support it.
Fish oils, avocado, even good clean organic dairy can also be helpful.
4.
Eye Exercises Some eye problems can be a result of eye muscles straining to see.
When the muscles are exercised and strengthened straining won't occur.
This can protect the eye.
Exercise: When reading intently or on the computer look away every 30 minutes to across the room where you can read large print or a headline of a newspaper.
Then look at smaller print, then even smaller print.
Then go back to your reading.
5.
Protect your eyes in the bright sunlight.
UV protected enhanced sunglasses should be worn when you are in very bright sunlight for an extended length of time.
However, you should allow your eyes exposure to natural sunlight without sunglasses for at least a short time everyday.
6.
Vitamin Rich Whole Foods and Nutritional Supplementation The top nutrients to promote excellent eye health are the following: --carotenoids (supplying zeanthin and lutein) --antioxidants --Vitamin A Foods can supply much of this if you are eating a highly enriched whole foods well balanced diet - but not everyone does.
Here is a list of foods: --green, leafy vegetables like spinach, kale, collards --yellow and orange foods and fruits like carrots, sweet potatoes --colorful foods with good fat: avocado, salmon --wolfberry and other berries One of the best and easiest "nutrient infusions" that I've come across for good eye health (and much more!) is the Ningxia Red juice from Young Living.
It's delicious, easy to incorporate in everyday life, and has many health giving properties - and so much more valuable than the money it costs!
