Keep Your Eyes As Healthy As The Rest Of You.

Our eyes are one of the most important, useful

, and fragile parts of our body. Many of us take our eyes for granted and don't truly appreciate them until it's too late. Sleeping with contacts in, not wearing UV protective sunglasses in harsh light, lack of sleep, stress, dehydration, diet, vitamin intake, and exercise can all contribute to poor eye health. Proper eye care can slow down certain aging processes like macular degeneration; as well as prevent premature vision loss due to strain, and everything else life can throw at you. Do what you can now to keep your eyes as healthy as they can be.

Contacts are a major benefit to those who need vision correction, but don't want to or can't wear glasses due to some circumstance. They are comfortable and for the most part unnoticeable, except when left in overnight, worn for long days or weeks at a time without changing, or without changing. By Wearing contacts for extended periods of time results in a buildup of proteins and bacteria that can eventually lead to tumors in the cornea and retina. This is extremely painful (I know from personal experience, which is why I wear glasses now) and in some cases the tumors can lead to permanent blindness. There are contacts made for extended and overnight wear should you feel the need to leave them in. Always use a sterile saline solution to clean your contacts and make sure to was your hand before putting your fingers anywhere near your eyes as to not transfer any bacteria or dirt into your eyes

Diet plays a huge role in eye health. Eating a diet rich in fruits and vegetables, especially red, organge, and yellow fruits and veggies will help. These fruits and veggies contain carotenoids, a pigment in colored plants that counters the effects of light damage in the eye, as well as converting compounds in the food into vitamin A. Vitamin A helps with reducing the risk of cataracts and night blindness. Vitamin C has been shown to reduce pressure in Glaucoma, and provides resistance to cataracts. Theses vitamins provide long lasting health when monitored and deficiencies can lead to tissue degeneration, and blindness.

Life is stressful there's no question about that, but what if the twist and turns life threw at you were part of the reason for bags and dark circles under the eyes. Lack of sleep can result in poor lymphatic drainage which in turn becomes the puffiness under the eyes. Dark circles are formed by ruptured blood vessels drying up and not being flushed out. Using an treatment or gel meant for under the eyes can diminish the puffiness and discoloration. When looking for an eye gel try and use an all natural combination. Many skin care companies sell eye gels that contain irritating chemicals that can cause severe allergic reactions. Look for products containing Haloxyl or Eyeliss, as these all natural ingredients diminish dark circles and eliminate puffiness naturally.

Water is another key factor in every aspect of your body's health. Drinking the recommended amount of water according to body weight is key. The average person should consume eight to ten glasses of water to ensure good blood flow and skin moisture as well as flushing out any toxins from the skin.

Take care of your eyes, they're the only pair you get and sight is a pretty awesome thing. Get as much sleep as you can, there's a reason it's called beauty sleep. On that same note don't sleep with your contacts in, trust me it's worth the extra two minutes it takes to take them out. Eating a healthy diet it good all around, but knowing what foods will benefit your eyes might keep you from one day having to wear glasses. Drink plenty of orange juice or take vitamin supplements to prevent any deficiencies that could take your sight.
