Eyes: about them and how to protect them

Literally...this post has to do with the interesting bits about the human eye. Interesting to know.

From birth to your 30's:

"When you are born, the lenses inside your eyes are generally crystal clear and flexible, and zonules(ligaments that tighten and slacken to focus) connected to them are strong. However with age they become less flexible and it weakens.""

" If your eyes are too long, you're near-sighted. If they are somewhat short, you're far-sighted. "

40's:

"This decade is when we begin to lose our ability to focus up close, which is called presbyopia"

"the time to schedule a comprehensive baseline eye exam"

50's:

"Our lenses harden which in turn just means you need stronger corrective lenses or even bifocals.

"you become at greater risk of cataracts, glaucoma, macular degeneration."

((Cataracts are when the lenses become cloudy. glaucoma is when pressure gets built up in the eyes causing damage to the optic nerves." Macular degeneration the macula(part of retina) deteriorates due to heredity or environmental factors and the central line sight becomes impaired. First sign: blurred vision"))

Start protecting your eyes now by doing the following:

1.Eating dark and leafy greens

• spinach



• kale



• collard greens



• deep colored veggies

2.Eat high antioxidant foods (2 servings a day)

• berries



• oranges



• plums



• cherries

(the darker the better ex. black or purple grapes VS green grapes)

3.Take a multivitamin No duh!

4.Get your omega-3s

"you've heard omega-3s are good for your heart, but" are also good for your eyes.

how? omega-3s fatty acids found in certain fish, such as salmon, halibut, and tuna, can help maintain the eyes' protective tear film, minimize dry eyes, and even prevent cataracts"

now i just need to find a cheap fish market round in AZ..wish me luck.

5.Eat CARROTS!

-these and other orange offerings(pumpkin, butternut squash) contain beta carotene, helps keep healthy eyes.

I got teased in high school for saying that carrots help your eyes. See? See?!!!

6.Wear your SHADES!

"UV light is a major player in the hardening of the lenses and cataracts etc." eek!

7.Elevate your heart rate

"studies show that aerobic exercises can decrease the pressure inside the eyes, helping reduce the risk for glaucoma." WoW!

ah sheet!

(he he) just kidding. you know i don' t curse. I wouldn't think of it. :o)

anywho, this is a great future crafty project...love what they've got going here.
