subject: It Is Helpful To Do Eye Exercise Regularly [print this page] Doing exercise is regarded as the healthiest way to keep fit. Now, a latest study shows that doing exercise is good not only for the human body but also for the eye. For example, the same exercise can keep the cardiovascular fit as well as reduce the probability of macular degeneration and cataracts.
It is reported that a lower risk of age-related macular degeneration comes along with a higher level of HDL cholesterol and cataracts may likely to occur owing to the high level of C-reactive protein caused by inflammation. So it is important to increase HDL and reduce C-reactive protein to keep your eye health.
Regular exercise including focus and rotation exercises are very good methods to strengthen the muscles surrounding the eyes, and the muscle relaxing is a helpful action for good vision.
I will introduce a focus exercise which is called string and bead exercise. First of all, you need to take your focus and eyesight off from your work. Then get a 6 string and 10 colored beads with holes prepared. Put the beads through the string every 6 interval. Tie a knot at each end of the bead and then use a tack to hold it to the wall at your eye level. Hold the other end of the string on your nose. After that, you can do your eye exercise. Focus on the bead nearest to the wall first, then the next bead, one at a time. Practice until you can tell one bead each at one time exactly. That is to say, your eyes are fully exercised.
Another rotation exercise is very easy but quite effective. You can do like this, looking as far as you can to the left, right, up and down several times. It is better if your surroundings are covered with green because the color of green is good for your eyesight.
Our eyes are made up of tiny internal and external muscles, and these muscles help to move the eyes, help to focus and control the shape of eyes. Relaxing is a key factor to maintain good eyesight, so please do not always focus on one thing at a long time and do eye exercise regularly.
