It is very rarely that only one particular health improvement will count the most. Here are some simple ways you can improve your vision, your eyesight. And, you may even improve your general health while you are at it!

#1. An Easy Tip To Give, A Hard One To Follow. GET YOUR SLEEP

We are all aware by now of how important sleep is? But, do you know what happens when you do not get your needed sleep? According to Harvard University’s HealthBeat, sleep can help us learn better (I know that for sure, I experienced that learning to play music. I would often go to sleep frustrated that I didn’t get something just right, went to bed, and the next day could play it.) Sleep allows the brain to work with information.

A lack of sleep causes hypertension, it increases stress levels, and it can even cause cardiac arrhythmias. A lack of sleep for long periods of time can cause havoc in your mind and body!

Everyone needs a different amount of sleep. Anywhere from 7-8 or even 9 hours per night. MOST people actually get anywhere from 1 to 2 hours less per night than they need.

#2. Drink Your Water

So, how often have we heard “drink your 8 glasses of water a day”, well some doctors say your don’t need that much, but, you need to be eating lots of fruits and veggies (water laden) instead. Water is necessary for so many reasons.

How much water is enough?

A good estimate is to take your body weight in pounds and divide that number in half. That gives you the number of ounces of water that you need to drink per day. For example, if you weigh 120 pounds, you should drink at least 60 ounces of water per day.

#3. Wear Sunglasses

Wearing sunglasses is one of the very best eye health choices you can make. The right sunglasses help protect your eyes from bright light and UV rays. If you are exposed to UV rays for long periods of time this could lead to cataracts, to macular degeneration.

Check and make absolutely sure the amount of UV protection your choice of sunglasses offer. The American Optometric Association offers a Seal of Acceptance for sunglasses that block 99 percent to 100 percent of UV radiation. Check and see that YOUR choice of glasses has this seal.

#4. Reduce Stress

Growth Central – Stress Management

Stress is a killer! There is no question or doubt about that!

Just think that over 66% of doctors visits are due to stress related issues. It is a major

You really need to work on reducing your stress. Stress and your vision are closely related. Your eyes become blurry, unfocused during periods of stress. *I have experienced this often and really notice it when playing the organ. So yes, your eyes do get “better or worse” during periods of stress.

#5. Computer Related Eye Stress!

Working, or playing at the computer for long periods of time can be detrimental for your eyes. Learn how to manage your computer / eye health. Use the 10-10-10 rule.

For 10 seconds, look away at something at least 10 feet away, and do this every 10 minutes.

We can’t give up the computer, they are a big part of our lives, but, we can manage the eye stress related with using computers. Do It!

#6. Exercise Your Eyes With The Rebuild Your Vision Program

Taking care of our body is your duty. And, just as exercises help you maintain body health, and strength so does doing eye exercises! It really is that simple.

#7. And, Now There Is An Eye Specific Blend Of Daily Vitamins

We are often in a hurry, we eat more prepared, and yes, even junk food. And, if we do eat a lot of fresh fruit and vegetables, we question their nutritional value. So, to compensate for today’s lifestyle, a daily vitamin is a great idea.

Learn which eye vitamins naturally improve eye health. The Rebuild Your Vision Ocu-Plus Formula was designed to improve vision and eye health, and help people with Macular Degeneration, Glaucoma, and Cataracts. Click HereTo Learn More.

I did this Improve Your Vision Program and my own night driving ability increased tremendously. I can actually drive on the highway at night now. I still do not like it, but I can do it.

Feature: Why Does My Vision Get Worse at Night?

Do you find that you are having a hard time driving at night. Maybe even walking around at night in the dark (like when you wake up to go to the bathroom).

Night blindness can be a very annoying syndrome. It comes in different degrees and with me, it is mostly night shadows. Read the whole article right here, Do You Need To Improve Your Night Vision?

I read some interesting facts from “The Rebuild Your Vision” program. I do the program myself! Just some fun stuff.  Most of us have heard these sayings…. “you’re blind as a bat” and “eagle eye” . Plus, some vision tips too.

It’s funny these two phrases were mentioned because in the dark, I used to feel blind as a bat (the vision program helped me), and, my husband was actually known as “eagle eyes” because of his ability to find lost items.  And, he could always spot an eagle on top of a telephone / hydro pole from way far away. 

Reading From Your Computer Screen

Did you know that most people actually read slower from a screen, about 25% slower than reading manually, from a paper. I know that I do.
Tip:  You can actually use your curser to help you read.  I know my eyes have problems tracking what I read on the screen when it is a longer article. So use your curser to follow behind the spot you are reading, that way, it helps you to track, but it doesn’t get in your way. And it does really make online reading easier.  And DON’T FORGET TO FOLLOW THE 10 10 10 RULE ( every 10 minutes, take a 10 second break, and look at something 10 feet away) if you are going to be doing a lot of reading.

It Happened In A Blink Of An Eye

Another tip…  become aware of how often you blink, just for fun. Most people blink about 12 times per minute.  This is approximately 10,000 blinks a day.  That’s a lot, and one single blink is very fast.  Hence,  “it happened in the blink of an eye,”  ps, this is another reason to do the 10  10 10 rule!  If you do a lot of work on the computer, you start staring, and blinking less.  Sometimes you even stop blinking for a long time.

Eagle Eye (That was my husbands nickname)

The human eye can spot a small animal (as small as a rabbit) from 550 yards away? It may look like a spec, but you can see it. An eagle on the other hand can see the same rabbit from one mile away, or 1760 yards.

Blind As A Bat

Have you ever been told you are blind as a bat? With me, the answer is yes, because at times that’s how I feel in the dark.  For a long time I did not drive outside my familiar area in the dark, but, after doing the Rebuild Your Vision Eye Exercise Program, my night driving is tremendously improved.   An interesting fact:  It’s a common misconception that bats are blind. But, almost all bats can see. Their sense of sight and smell is well developed, but they don’t use eyes to “see” where they’re going. They use sound waves. They make high pitched sounds and then listen for the echoes caused when the sounds bounce off an object. Some bats can fly at a speed of up to 30 miles per hour. Their “radar” must be pretty good to fly that fast at night! [Source: optima-hyper.com]

If so, pay close attention to the last part of this vision improvement mini course.

I’ll show you scientific proof that anyone who begins a proper natural vision improvement program can see amazing results in days.

Natural vision improvement works.

Tens-of-thousands of people around the world have used simple vision training eye exercises to see better and more clearly. In many cases, after following a specific program of easy eye exercises, some people no longer rely on corrective lenses.

The results are often dramatic and long-standing. I’m a perfect example.

My obsession with becoming a fighter pilot led me to discover and develop a vision improvement program that allowed me to pass the Navy’s eye exam. This was no easy feat. But I did it by performing simple, fun and easy eye exercises.

Now, I rarely, if ever, need my glasses.

How Natural Vision Improvement Allows Your Eyesight To
Self-Correct…

Due to many stresses put upon the visual system, the use of glasses and contacts, and the natural aging process, your eyes can become weak and distorted, causing blurred vision.

The Rebuild Your Vision Program is designed to strengthen your eyes just as you would any other weak part of your body, improving your vision and helping you to see clearly — naturally.

This is easily achieved through a specific series of optical drills and eye exercises that, when done for 25 minutes a day, stimulate integral components of the eye in a manner that would never be achieved through normal daily use.

Within just a few weeks, even days, you will start to notice improvements in your vision, and things will begin to appear much crisper and sharper.

Depending upon how bad your vision problems are it may take just one month or it may take many months to achieve your vision improvement goals.

Once you have achieved your goals you will perform the exercises a couple of times a month to maintain your improvements.

Here Are Studies Supporting The Merit Of Natural Vision Improvement…

“Subjects often stated that they had experienced the ability to make eye contact (without correction) with people across a room or street; they could see buildings and windows clearly without glasses many miles across San Francisco Bay, or in the case of high diopter myopes (> -4.0 diopters) they were able to read books easily at arms length.” –Balliet, PHD, et al. The training of visual acuity in myopia.
Journal of the American Optometric Association.

“Thousands of young men applying for admission to the various branches of the armed forces discovered that they could not meet the visual requirements. As a result of visual training, most successfully passed the visual requirements of the service that had previously rejected them. The evidence is conclusive that optometric methods of visual training improve the acuity of most myopes.” –Ewalt. The Baltimore Myopia Control Project. Journal of the American Optometric Association.

“There is acceptable evidence that in motivated subjects, even myopes with greater than two diopters refractive error, visual acuity can be improved by visual training.” –Sells, et al. Evaluation of Research on Effects of Visual Training. American Journal of Ophthalmology.

As you can see, we’re in good company when we say the Rebuild Your Vision Program really can improve your vision naturally.

Here’s a question I get asked a lot…

If Natural Vision Training Is So Effective And Has So Many Endorsements, Then Why Do Most People Get Lasik Surgery Or Corrective Lenses Instead?

And here’s the answer…

In 1998, it was estimated that the U.S. optical industry was worth $30.2 billion (Vision Council of America, 1999). This number included such items as exam fees and office visits, surgical fees, ophthalmic pharmaceuticals, retail eyewear sales, and retail sales for consumables such as contact lens solutions.

Now ask yourself this question…

If vision training were presented as a viable option to remedy eye disorders, would there be a need for consumers to spend thousands of dollars every year on the products and services that create profits for the eye-care industry?

I’m not suggesting that an annual eye examination for more complex eye disorders and diseases isn’t needed-but if only a fraction of those who require corrective lenses would
participate in vision training, it would mean a staggering loss in profits from the purchase of optical products and services.

The fact of the matter is, there’s BIG money in selling glasses, contacts, eye exams and everything else that goes with them.

While natural vision improvement isn’t nearly as profitable as surgery or corrective lenses, you, the consumer, can save hundreds or perhaps thousands of dollars by safely and naturally rebuilding your vision through the use of proven eye exercises.

The best way to judge the results is to see for yourself. Try the Rebuild Your Vision Program for 30 days on me. If it’s not everything I say it is you’re under no obligation to keep it. And you can keep all the extra’s as my thanks for trying.

Take the first step to improving your vision — for life.

Dear Reader,

To Re-Cap an older (but goody) post: 3 Easy (and fun) Ways to Improve Your Eyesight.
So Just come on over and check out this post,

Who Needs Glasses?

Technorati Tags: improve eyesight

Kristy White, the author of “Improve Your Eyesight Naturally” says “It is quite disturbing that medical professionals put very little emphasis, if any at all, on the importance of vision exercising, nutrition and lifestyle as supporting, and often the key mechanisms to eye health and vision impairment prevention. That is why I’ve decided to write a book that will help people raise their awareness about vision and teach them how to take better care of their eye health and vision.”

“Improve Your Eyesight Naturally” is primarily focused on how to gain better vision with eye exercises and eye relaxation. All vision work-outs in presented in the book are created to address and treat the real causes of bad eyesight due to refractive errors (nearsightedness, farsightedness and astigmatism) and ageing vision.

What natural vision correction methods are included in the book?

- An overview of the benefits of vision exercises and detailed instructions for 25 vision exercises;

- Four vision relaxation techniques;

- Detailed instructions for seven vision self-massages;

- 4 natural vision correction routines aimed at relieving the symptoms and restoring 20/20 vision in case of nearsightedness, farsightedness, ageing vision and Computer Vision Syndrome.

www.experts-at.com/NaturalVision/improve-eyesight.htm

“Improve Your Eyesight Naturally” is not only a helpful manual featuring numerous vision exercises, eye relaxation techniques, vision massages and vision correction routines. Unlike other similar natural vision correction books, “Improve Your Vision Naturally” takes readers a step further in their path to perfect eye health and vision.

The author discusses various other aspects of health and life that significantly impact eye health and vision:

- What is the link between nutrition and vision along with comprehensive diet advice and tips about the best (and the worst) foods, how to evaluate your current diet and create and stick to a vision-friendly diet and more;

- Which lifestyle habits can harm your eye health and lead to vision problems and how to effectively deal with them;

- How to create a safe and vision-friendly work environment and prevent work-related vision problems such as Computer Vision Syndrome.

One of the greatest advantages of “Improve Your Eyesight Naturally” is the opportunity it gives people to increase their awareness of eye health and the causes of the most common eyesight disorders. Readers can obtain specific information how to prevent, delay and treat the leading causes of severe vision impairment and irreversible blindness through conventional medical treatments as well as completely naturally.

Who is “Improve Your Eyesight Naturally” for? The book would be greatly beneficial for people looking to restoring their visual acuity in case of nearsightedness, farsightedness, astigmatism and ageing vision. It is for those interested in slowing down the progression of some of the most common age-related eye diseases (cataract, macular degeneration, presbyopia). Last but not least, it would be quite helpful for virtually anyone who is eager to take better care of their eye health and prevent eye disorders.

Further information about “Improve Your Vision Naturally” is available at www.experts-at.com/NaturalVision/improve-eyesight.htm

a comprehensive web resource providing objective information about different practices that can help to naturally improve eyesight and advice on blindness and vision impairment prevention. If you order your copy of “Improve Your Vision Naturally” now, you will also receive a free bonus package featuring the original Dr. Bates natural vision correction course and a complete set of positive thinking training.

I use the Improve Your Vision system, and it has done wonders for my night driving. And, of course improved my day to day vision too.  So, what’s the hardest about doing this system?

YOU HAVE TO ACTUALLY DO IT   YUP, LET ME SAY IT AGAIN.  IT WON’T DO YOU ANY GOOD UNLESS YOU DO IT. So, let me help motivate you a little.

Consistency

This is the easiest advice to give, but, sometimes the hardest advice to follow.  Everyone is very busy these days, I know.  But honestly, the best way to get results (like with everything else) is to be consistent.

Do It, and Do It consistently.

Put 15 to 25 minutes aside, wether it’s in the morning, maybe on your lunchtime, or even in the evening, whatever workds for you.  But do it, and do it every day.

Are you stressed?

OK, and here is a relaxing procedure that I use to relax my eyes when I am totally stressed out.  I use it when I am physically or mentally stressed.  Even when you are mentally stressed, your eyes are affected.

Now I have been doing the warm washcloth (or even the palming) for relaxation.  But, I just read that it works even better if you alternate from warm to cold every 3-4 minutes.

Give it a try. Apply a warm washcloth over your eyes, and than alternate to a cold one.  Refreshing! (And don’t use extreme heat or cold, remember, you are applying it to your eyes).

Checking around the internet, I found the following information,

Dr. Benjamin C. Lane, O.D., from the Nutritional Optometry Institute in New Jersey, says, “Americans are getting less chromium and much more of its major antagonist, vanadium (a trace element) because of recent dietary trends to large marine fish and poultry.”

In the very numerous studies that Dr. Lane has done in the last 20 years found that “low levels of chromium are a major risk factor for increased intraocular pressure.”

Chromium is involved in muscle function.

And, as stated in our blog, near point stress has become a huge problem and,  Dr. Lane says “the set of muscles we use more than ever before, are those that help focus our eyes.”

Chromium may help you focus easier, and also handle near point stress better.

Chromium is an essential mineral, that means we have to ingest it, we cannot make it ourselves.  

The best sources of chromium are beef, liver, eggs, chicken, oysters, wheat germ, green peppers, apples, bananas, and spinach.

And , if you do not eat these regularely, try the Rebuild Your Vision Ocu-Plus Formula. This eye nutrient / formula contains 17 different nutrients (including Lutein) that are essential to eye health.
