5 tips on how to protect the “light of your eyes”

Seeing is one of the most precious gifts humans could ever receive at birth. Our eyes and sight being so fragile need to be protected and cared for in order to remain healthy. Here are a few things you should consider if you want to maintain a perfect sight.



1. Watch out for the light. When you study at your desk or you just read a book in a comfortable chair it is important that you offer your eyes a good light. An equable light that is not too strong but yet not too weak is essential for helping the eyes work effective. If you let your eyes work in a dark place you will only hasten the occurrence of myopia or hypermetropia. Also, if you work a lot at the desk you should consider placing it close to the window, parallel with the light. This means that if you are right handed the light should come from your left side. In this way your eyes will receive the needed light and will not be bothered by shadows that otherwise appear from your hand when you write.






Want to live longer? Eat the right food

We all dream to live a long healthy and prosperous life, but we do so little to fulfill this dream. I have managed to write a list of aliments that should be consumed daily and weekly so that the body can function well for many years.


Fruits and Vegetables

What you should eat daily?

1. Tomatoes. They are one of the best natural antioxidants due to their rich content of vitamin C and E. For men they are even more recommended as they prevent prostate cancer.

2. Cereals. Their fibers are good for the intestines and besides the fact that they prevent constipation they also keep colon cancer away. They are quite satiating and they help you maintain a healthy weight.

3. Garlic. Even though this is not an aliment that can be consumed daily, due to its intense scent, you can eat it from time to time as it is a heart protector and keeps infections away.
