Would you like to increase the chances that you are able to see as clearly at eighty-five years old as you do today?
There are a few things that you can do today that will help to improve your eye health long into the future.
Exercise
It’s good for your body. It’s good for your mind. It’s great for your eyes! The improved blood circulation and oxygen levels will nourish your eyes well and keeping your weight at a healthy level also decreases the chances of diabetes and related eye diseases.
Quit Today!
The small high that you get from that cigarette in the morning, after lunch, or on your way home is hardly worth the mounting health problems that it can cause. In addition, smoking today can mean cataracts tomorrow. Worse yet, pregnant women who smoke or ingest a large amount of secondhand smoke can increase the likelihood of retinopathy in their children – which can be blinding.
Get Some Rest
Even those who eat right, exercise regularly, and avoid bad habits, can experience many different illnesses and health complications if they fail to get a good amount of sleep. Furthermore, the eight hours of uninterrupted sleep also allows the eyes to be properly lubricated.
Be Tested
Are you sexually active? Have you had more than one partner in recent years? The transmission of STDs comes with more stress than one might think. Herpes, Chlamydia, Gonorrhea, Syphilis, and HIV/AIDS can all negatively impact the eyes, causing serious and lasting problems.
