The Best Vitamins For Improving Eyesight Naturally

Posted on by

Greetings to you,

Would you like to have healthier eyes and improved vision? In the video below you will discover some of the best vitamins and supplements for improving eyesight naturally.

Alongside vitamins beneficial for eye health, nature offers an abundance of other remedies and nutrient-rich foods that contribute to sharper vision.  One such remedy is the ancient practice of eye exercises.

These exercises help strengthen eye muscles and improve focus. Simple techniques like palming, where you cover your eyes with your palms and relax, or shifting focus from near to far objects can help reduce eye strain and enhance visual acuity. Also, applying warm compresses to your eyes can soothe dryness and alleviate eye fatigue, promoting overall eye health.

One food that’s famous for enhancing eye health is carrots. Rich in beta-carotene, carrots are known for their role in promoting healthy eyesight. Beta-carotene is converted into vitamin A in the body, which is essential for good vision. Other orange-colored fruits and vegetables like sweet potatoes and apricots also contain high levels of beta-carotene and can be beneficial for eye health

Eggs are also a nutrient-dense food that offers many benefits for eye health. They are a good source of lutein and zeaxanthin, two substances that accumulate in the retina and help protect against age-related macular degeneration and cataracts. Additionally, eggs contain vitamin E, which has antioxidant properties and contributes to overall eye health.

Magnesium is a mineral that is used in over 300 actions in the body, and one of them is supporting eye health.  More details on magnesium benefits for the eyes can be found in the video below.

Enjoy the video on the best vitamins for improving eyesight naturally and may your vision only get better and better!

Top 6 Remedies for an Eye With Floaters and Dry Eye

Posted on by

eye with floatersEye floaters can be an annoying condition that affects many people, especially as they age.

Floaters are those tiny spots, lines, or specks that seem to move around in your field of vision. These can be distracting or even cause anxiety about one’s eye health.

While there is no definitive cure for an eye with floaters, there are some natural remedies that have been shown to be effective in managing the condition and even improve it. Here are the top natural remedies for an eye with floaters and dry eye, backed by research:

  1. Bilberry: Bilberry is a plant that has been used for centuries to improve vision. It contains anthocyanins, which are powerful plant chemicals that protect the retina from damage. A study published in the Journal of Applied Physiology found that bilberry extract improved visual function and reduced eye fatigue. During World War II, British fighter pilots reported improved nighttime vision after eating bilberry jam.
  2. Omega-3 fatty acids: Omega-3 fatty acids are essential nutrients that are found in fish, flaxseed, and walnuts. They have anti-inflammatory properties that can help reduce the inflammation that causes floaters. A study published in the journal Clinical Ophthalmology found that omega-3 supplementation improved the symptoms of dry eye syndrome, which is a common condition that can occur along with floaters.
  3. Ginkgo Biloba: Ginkgo Biloba is a tree native to China that has been used for thousands of years to treat a variety of conditions, including eye disorders. It contains flavonoids (plant pigments), which protect the eyes from damage. A study published in the International Journal of Ophthalmology found that Ginkgo Biloba extract improved visual function in people with glaucoma – a condition where there is increased pressure in the eyes.
  4. Natural Eye Extracts: Based on user reviews, supplements containing extracts of animal eye tissue have been used for reducing eye floaters and improving eye health. While there are no studies on these types of remedies yet, its a promising upcoming category of eye support.  Its use is based on the premise of “like cures like”.
  5. Eye exercises: There are several eye exercises that can help reduce the appearance of floaters. One of the most effective exercises is called the “eye circle” exercise. To do this exercise, simply look up and then move your eyes in a circle, clockwise and then counterclockwise. Repeat this exercise several times a day.
  6. Vitamin C: Vitamin C is a powerful vitamin that protects the eyes from damage and increases their health. It is found in many fruits and vegetables, such as oranges, strawberries, and broccoli. A study published in the British Journal of Ophthalmology found that high levels of vitamin C in the diet were associated with a reduced risk of developing cataracts (a cloudy eye lens). Another study from Irish and German researchers found that an eye formula containing vitamin C reduced the severity of floaters and improved visual health.

While these natural remedies may or may not completely cure an eye with floaters, they can help to manage the symptoms and improve one’s overall eye health. Fresh leafy greens also contain valuable vitamins for the eyes.  If you are experiencing floaters, a visit to your eye doctor may be helpful.

Some good tips would be to eat a healthy diet containing colorful fruits and vegetables, and also adding some proven natural remedies (preferably one at a time to determine its effects).  Here’s to your enjoyment of clear, healthy vision for years to come.

Positive Thinking and Good Sleep: Studies Confirm a Link

Posted on by

positive thinking for anxietyDo you often find yourself tossing and turning during the night and unable to get enough sleep? If so, you might want to try incorporating some positive thinking into your daily routine.

Your thoughts can have a significant impact on your sleep quality. In this article, we’ll explore the relationship between positive thinking and good sleep, with references to some fascinating studies.

First, let’s define positive thinking. Positive thinking refers to a mindset that focuses on the good, rather than the bad in life. It involves actively seeking out positive experiences and emotions, even in challenging situations.  A positive point of view envisions the ideal, desired outcomes in family, work, and social settings. Positive thinking can help reduce, and possibly eliminate, stress and anxiety, which are common components of poor sleep.

So, how exactly does positive thinking impact sleep quality? A study published in the Journal of Psychosomatic Research found that individuals who practiced positive thinking before bed experienced improved sleep quality and less nighttime awakenings. The study also found that positive thinking had a greater impact on sleep quality than a common therapy treatment for sleep disorders.

Another study published in the Journal of Sleep Research found that individuals who engaged in positive thinking activities, such as journaling about positive experiences, had significantly better sleep quality and duration than those who did not engage in these activities.

But how exactly can you incorporate positive thinking into your daily routine to improve your sleep? Here are a few tips:

  1. Think about the best part of your day: Find the most enjoyable point of your day and acknowledge yourself for it.  Whether it gave you joy or you gave it to someone else.
  2. Visualize positive outcomes: Before bed, take a few minutes to visualize positive outcomes for the next day. Write them down and include specific details. This can help reduce anxiety and promote a sense of calm.
  3. Read something positive or just a fun story: Before bed, read a book or story of the type that makes you feel happy and positive. This can promote good sleep.
  4. Write down anything you want to remember: Clear your mind by noting down anything that needs to go on your “To Do” list for the next day.  Then forget about it and envision yourself sleeping peacefully.
  5. Most importantly, avoid negative people at all costs. Surround yourself with happy, thriving people who have their own life under control and who are pursuing their goals. Their positive thinking will be contagious!

Incorporating positive thinking into your daily routine can have a significant impact on your sleep quality. So, the next time you’re having trouble sleeping, do some of the tips above.  You might be surprised at how much of a difference it can make.

Greetings to you,

Can making and drinking a cup of tea help to reduce stress and increase relaxation?

A study from the City University of London found that drinking a cup of tea does indeed help with relaxation, not only from the action of drinking it, but also from the calming ritual of heating the water or using a kettle.

The ritual of slowing down to make the tea is one of its greatest calming benefits.  One of the main ingredients in the best teas is L-theanine, a non-protein amino acid that increases the levels of calming chemicals in the brain.

Many health benefits can be obtained from drinking herbal teas.  Some of their medicinal effects include soothing stress, easing nausea, helping with menopausal or menstrual symptoms, relaxing muscles, and calming an upset stomach.

Take a peek at the video below to discover some of the most time-proven best teas. This video was created for you by Nutrition Breakthroughs, maker of the original calcium and magnesium based sleep aid Sleep Minerals II.

Calorie counting? Eating healthy food without restriction? How does a person obtain their ideal, healthy weight?

For those who have asked this question, the video below addresses the ongoing debate between calorie counting and eating nutritious foods.

A recent study that was reported in the New York Times discovered that people who concentrated on eating mostly real, whole foods and vegetables and who cut back on processed foods, sugar and certain grains, lost good amounts of weight during the year-long study.  The people in the study didn’t limit their portion sizes and didn’t keep track of the number of calories they ate.

Check out the two-minute video below to see some of the very best foods one can eat.

Posted on by

antidepressants vs natural sleep aidsGreetings to you,

The video below describes the pros and cons between antidepressant drugs for sleep and natural sleep aids.

Its interesting to note that the journal “Sleep” reported that prescriptions for sleeping drugs have decreased by 54%, but that antidepressants for sleep have increased by a surprising 146%.

While most people would prefer to take a natural, non-addictive remedy without uncomfortable side-effects, there is a scarcity of effective natural options, as well as a lack of education and information available to people outside of their medical doctors offices.

Have a look at the 3-minute video below to learn more about the science behind natural sleep aids that work, as well as some of the side effects of antidepressants.

Sleep well!
