Take Care Of Your Skin And Eyes To Stay Beautiful

Many people in the world suffer from eyesight problems and have tried different methods such as wearing glasses, contact lenses and having laser surgery. There is a way that you can solve some of the problems without having to go to theatre so that you don’t have to worry when about losing your contact lenses or your glasses ever again.

Relaxation is the first key. When you become stressed and tense you can end up with headaches which in turn cause you to have blurred vision. To take the strain off the eyes your option will be more likely to advise you to wear glasses rather than teach you how to relax. This is a shame as it could save you money on what you would usually have to spend.

There are exercises that you can do with your eyes as well as any other part of your body to strengthen them. Learning such techniques will take the strain away from seeing things whether near or far.

Astigmatism is also something that can benefit from these techniques. You will find that whether it is age that has caused your eyesight problems, reading or sitting in front of a computer you don’t have to get medical or surgical treatment to improve it no matter the state of your vision.

Remember that although options are able to spot problems caused by glaucoma and other health problems they would not be able to stay afloat if it was not for people like you needing to pay for the treatments they offer. This is the reason why you will not have been told about your other options.

They are a business like any other and need to profit. The same can be said for your doctor who makes his money from the prescriptions that are filled out for you and the other patients. By taking the natural route you can avoid having to pay for eye tests and any equipment you will be told you need for your eyesight problems.

Nutrition for Dry Eye Syndrome

Until recently the main treatments for dry eye syndrome were topical drops that aimed to improve moisture in the eye. Now that more is understood about the causes and we are able to focus on nutritional solutions to the problem which aim to address the underlying pathology. Let’s look at how nutrition can help

1. The role of Omega 3 Fats

DES gets more common as we age and one of the reasons for this is that we gradually begin to produce less oil. This can be bad news as the outer layer of our tears is comprised of oil which has a direct lubricating action within the eye.

So is this condition in old age inevitable? No, fortunately there is much that can be done to help the body to produce more of these essential lubricants. One of the key ways to do this is to eat more omega 3 fats. Omega 3 fats together with omega 6 fats are the two groups of essential fats (so called because they cannot be produced in the body). Omega 3 fats are commonly found in oily fish (such as salmon, mackerel, sardines, herring and fresh tuna), as well as in leafy green vegetables and some nuts and seeds (for example walnuts and flaxseeds). Omega 6 fats tend to be much easier to come by as they are found widely in nuts, seeds and their oils.

2. Vitamin and Mineral deficiencies and dry eye syndrome

Researchers looking at dry eye syndrome have found that deficiencies of vitamin A and zinc can reduce corneal and conjunctival microvilli and increase ocular surface keratinisation. Supplementation with these nutrients has been shown to reverse these changes and to improve symptoms. In addition other nutrients of particular importance include B6, vitamin C, magnesium and potassium

3. Sugar and Refined Carbohydrates

High Consumption of sugar has been linked to DES. In one study, consuming in excess of 11 teaspoons of sugar a day was associated with an increased risk of this condition (a single can of fizzy drink contains approximately 9 teaspoons of sugar). Sugar is also hidden throughout processed and refined foods including cereals, ketchup, and salad dressings. What’s more it may not only be diets high in sugar itself that cause the problems. DES seems to be much higher amongst individuals with diabetes. (possibly because of the inflammatory nature of this disease).

4.Water, Caffeine and Alcohol

Not drinking enough water can lead to general dehydration and dry eyes so aim for 8-12 large glasses daily (possibly more if you are heavily exercising). Alcohol and caffeine (found in coffee, tea, chocolate, green tea) have also been shown to have a dehydrating effect on the body so it is worth reducing or avoiding these substances.

5. Nutrition, Hormone Imbalance and dry eyes

Dry eye syndrome is much more common in women and often seems to begin at the time of the menopause highlighting the role played by hormones. Until recently it was thought that the decline in oestrogen which happens at the menopause might be to blame, but later research has not found a link with low oestrogen. In fact taking oestrogen seems to increase the risk of getting the condition by 70%!

6.Nutrition, Autoimmune Disease and Dry Eye syndrome

Dry eye syndrome is associated with a number of autoimmune diseases such as sjogren’s syndrome, lupus erythematosus (SLE), rheumatoid arthritis and primary billiary sclerosis.

As a sufferer of Dry Eye Syndrome for years, I wanted to help others deal with the condition and gain long term relief. I have worked with expert eye specialists to produce a book and free reports. You can get a free report on eye health which talks about how you can stop yourself going blind and look after your eyes. Its an absolute must read – get it here http://www.caredryeye.com

Always try to get a decent amount of sleep. Your body and especially your eyes will let you know how much you need. Fatigue invariably leads to redness around the eyes, bags and dark shadows. If your eyes are tired and dry or irritated by hay fever, try not rubbing them.

Make time to rest your eyes for ten minutes after a busy day. Place a piece of cucumber or cotton ball dampened with witch hazel or a gentle skin tonic or astringent over each eye, lies back and simply relaxes. Always do this indoors or in the shade. If you lie in hot sun with damp cotton balls on your eyes, you are risking swollen eyelids.

If you are on a long flight or train journey, take ten minutes to close your eyes and relax. Stress and worry can cause fatigue and insomnia neither of which is any good for your eyes. Invest in a pair of good sunglasses. It is worth paying a little extra for a pair with a not reflective glass. Remember, you are buying eye protection as well as a fashion item. Always use them for driving on sunny days, and be sure to put on sunglasses or an eye shade when sunbathing or sitting under an infrared lamp. Few things age the skin faster than ultraviolet rays.

Have your eyes tested regularly. If you neglect your eye sight, you will find yourself developing all sorts of bad habits – squinting, frowning, and screwing up your eyes – in an effort to see properly. Do not leave your makeup on overnight.

Remove makeup carefully. Take off your eye makeup before turning your attention to the rest of your face, so that you do not end up just scrubbing over it with a cotton ball. Avoid overuse of cosmetic eye drops. Although they are useful if you eyes need freshening up. If for example, you are tired, or your eyes have been irritated and made bloodshot by dust or wind, excessive use can lead to cataracts. If you want to bathe your eyes, it is better to use a medicinal eye bath. Never use cosmetic eye drops with contact lenses. If your eyes are constantly dry and sore, consult your doctor or optician.

Do not read in a poor light, because it can give your eye strain. Try not to use your eyes excessively. Sitting for long hours staring at a computer screen or watching television or videos for very long periods can also lead to eye strain. Close your eyes frequently, never stare. It seems absurd to have to remember to blink, but it is very important, as it gives the eye the oxygen it needs.

Wear goggles for swimming, the chlorine in swimming pools is a known irritant, and it can leave your eyes red and stinging. Water retention can lead to bags under the eyes, and excessive alcohol intake is especially bad. Smoking is also unhelpful, especially as many smokers develop bad facial habits such as squinting. Try not to sit for too long in a smoky atmosphere, as this dries out the natural moisture of the yes and can lead to redness and stinging.
