Take care of your eyes!

 A. Two simple and effective exercises that will help you: - to stop your diopters from increasing (you will not need a new pair of glasses with higher diopters); - to treat the sensation of dry eyes; - to give up artificial tears for good; - to feel your eyes rested, even if you spend hours at the computer. Let's start the exercises, of course without glasses or contact lenses, when you do them... 

Exercise 1: "Play Hard With Your Eyes" This first exercise helps vascularize the muscles of your eyes. The more the muscles are irrigated with blood, the better they will be nourished by the nutrients brought by the blood. Thus, the muscles will regain the flexibility that your eyes need. This exercise has 3 parts and do them without breaks
Start now, and... - Keep your eyes closed, as tight as you can, for 7 seconds - Keep your eyes closed normally for 7 seconds - Open your eyes as WIDE as you can, for 7 seconds When you no longer feel a release of tension in your eyes after the 7 seconds, repeat the exercise for 15 seconds. I recommend you use this exercise - at night before sleep (this way you release the eye tension accumulated during the day) - and in the morning, right after you wake up (to release the residual eye tension from the previous day). Use this exercise at least 2 times a day, when you feel your eyes are tired. It's the same thing as when you are thirsty and want to drink water; irrigating your eye muscles is the first step to improving your vision. 

Exercise 2: “Eight Points” Exercise “Eight Points” helps to tone your eye muscles. Trained muscles will allow your vision to be better. Repeat this exercise at least 4 times a day for good results.
Stand straight without moving your head and look for 7 seconds at the extreme points of your eye like this: - Look at the far right point that you can see - Look at the point in the upper left corner of your eye - Look at the point in the upper right corner of your eye - Look at the point in the lower left corner of your eye - Look at the point in the lower right corner of your eye - Look at the far bottom point that you can see - Look at the far top point that you can see - Look at the far left point that you can see Use these exercises daily and you will notice the first signs of improving your vision: - as in the first stage you will have slight muscle pain, then when you do not wear your glasses, the fatigue in your eyes will no longer be present. - another improvement that you will notice is that you will see better with your glasses.
B. About the ergonomics of computer vision First of all, vision does not decrease because of the computer, but it is a simple adaptation of the eyes to the work environment. In a study conducted on two puppies, kept for 2 months in a 2 square meter box, it was observed at the end that they could not cope when they had to run after things in the distance. The same thing happens when you work on the computer, because your eyes adapt to short distances. That is why computer protection glasses are superfluous. Therefore, when you work on the computer for a longer time, eye fatigue and the sensation of dry eyes appear. These are just signs transmitted by your eyes that they are subjected to improper “treatment”. What to do to stop the side effects? 

1. Once every 10 minutes, take a 10-second break and look at the farthest distance in the room. Ideally, you should look out the window at a brightly colored object/body that you like. This way your vision will not deteriorate. 

2. Perform the eye-squeezing exercise for 5 seconds, once every 20 minutes. 

3. Create an adequate lighting environment when working on the PC. Even during the day you can use a lamp that shines behind the monitor. This way a restful environment is created for your eyes, because in the work environment there will not be only one source of light, and that (the one from the monitor) directly in your eyes. Remember that most health problems, even vision problems, are not DISEASES – they are just deficiencies in nutrition or activities to which your body is subjected. C. With each day you postpone improving your vision, it will deteriorate and you will end up wearing glasses as thick as the "bottom of a jar".... Thus you will spend more time, more energy and money to correct your vision problems. Form 5 daily habits to improve your vision. When using these habits, temporarily give up glasses or contact lenses for at least 30 minutes after applying them. 
HABIT #1: "Exposure to sunlight" Expose yourself to the sun (natural light) every morning, immediately after waking up for 5-10 minutes. This will help you have more energy for that day. You will have energy that day equivalent to a cup of coffee, of which we all know the adverse effects. Vitamin D is produced by the body through exposure to the sun. Vitamin D is the pillar of your health. Through vitamin D, calcium, which the entire body needs, is better fixed in the body. This way you will also have more energized and better eyes. It will also help you not to be so sensitive to bright light. To fully benefit from the energy from the sun, use sunglasses only in the summer between 12-14, in environments with reflections (snow or sand), and when driving. 
HABIT #2: "Blink as often as possible. Blink consciously 10-20 times every 5 minutes. Each time you practice, blink faster and faster. This habit helps release tension from your eyes and allows them to relax. When you blink, only the upper eyelid moves, and the eyelid muscles regulate the tear glands. If you start to tear while blinking, that's fine. The tear fluid will moisten your eyes, nourish them, and clean them of the dust accumulated during the day.
HABIT #3: "Rest your eyes" Over 70% of the information we capture daily is obtained through the eyes. Even though we are not aware most of the time what information our eyes transmit to the brain, our eyes are very used. The moment you notice the slightest presence of fatigue, keep your eyes closed for 10-20 seconds. I recommend that once every 10 minutes you keep your eyes closed for 10 seconds, especially if you work at the computer for a long time. Your eyes will feel much more relaxed and rested if you rest your eyes frequently. You can cover your eyes with your palms if the light in your environment is too strong. The eyes rest best in total darkness, like when you sleep. Rest your eyes and they will take care of your vision.
 HABIT #4: "Feed your body with... water" Water... the most common substance on earth, has healing properties for the entire human body. Your eyes are filled with water - aqueous humor, which is responsible for approximately 15-20% of the eye's refractive capacity. To maintain the refractive rate of the aqueous humor, every morning when you wake up the first thing you should do is drink half a liter of water. Yes... half a liter of water, because your entire body is thirsty after a night's sleep and needs to be hydrated. An important factor is that the eyeball is always moist, in order to have mobility of movement. Tears are responsible for this. I recommend that you rinse your eyes as often as you can, especially in the morning and evening, with cold and/or warm water. This way you will benefit from the miracles of water therapy. 
HABIT #5: "Move your body and you will see well." A study conducted at Columbia University revealed that performing daily sports activities helps improve vision. You don't have to be a performance athlete, but performing 10-15 minutes of exercise daily is enough to release tension from the eye muscles. Daily exercise for a minimum of 10 minutes a day reduces eye strain by 20%. Thus, the risk of vision problems occurring is 20% lower. In this way, the chances of eye problems or especially glaucoma are closer to zero. Use these simple habits, along with the 2 exercises, to improve your vision. 
Take care of your eyes!

 USEFUL TRICKS

A cure for fear of injections has been discovered.
German researchers have discovered that if you cough duan injection, the sting will no longer hurt so much. Why? Because this trick produces a sudden and temporary increase in pressure in the chest and spinal canal, inhibiting the structures that conduct pain to the spinal cord.

How to stop heartburn. Sleep on your left side, gastroenterologists advise. The explanation is simple: when you sleep on your right, your stomach is higher than your esophagus, allowing food and acid to slide up into your throat. When you lie on your left, your stomach is lower than your esophagus and gravity works in your favor.

How to stop your nosebleeds. When we were little and our noses were bleeding, we were made to hold our noses with 2 fingers and lie on our backs until the bleeding stopped. How else can this problem be solved, without attracting prying eyes? Place a piece of cotton on the upper gum, under the tip of the lip, and press firmly on the piece of material. The blood comes mainly from the anterior part of the septum. Pressing here will stop the bleeding," doctors say.

How to keep your heart in check. Don't let it run wild! If you feel your heart palpitations and you don't know you have a heart condition, you can try pressing gently on your carotid artery, just below your jaw. You will stimulate the vagus nerve and can slow down your heart rate.

Prevent myopia! Myopia rarely has a genetic cause, say ophthalmologists. It can usually be caused by too much time spent in front of the computer. So to avoid problems, it would be a good idea to close your eyes a few times a day, tense your muscles, inhale deeply, and after a few seconds, exhale and relax. By tensing and relaxing your biceps and glutes, you will trick your involuntary muscles, such as those of your eyes, into relaxing.

How to avoid getting tired quickly when running. If you are like most people, when you run, you usually exhale when you put your right foot on the ground. This way you only put pressure on the liver (which is on the right side) which then starts to sting. How to get rid of this unpleasant sensation? Simple. Exhale when you put your left foot on the ground.

 THE TOOTHACHE

Do you have any idea how you can get rid of a toothache "without opening your mouth"?

I'll give you a hint: eliminate from the start the answers like pills, injections, palinca, onions, etc.
I'll just tell you this: a method has been found that apparently has nothing to do with dentistry.
Get rid of toothache without opening your mouth!
All you have to do is rub a piece of ice between your thumb and forefinger. The nerve endings located in
the V-shaped area of ​​the hand stimulate a region of the brain that blocks the reception of pain signals coming from the face and hands. A Canadian study shows that you can try this method without ice, but it would be 50% less effective.

The Definitive Answer To 20 Of Your Biggest Health Questions   Does olive oil prevent heart disease?   Short answer: Yes The health benefits of olive oil come from the presence of polyphenols, antioxidants that reduce the risk of heart diseases and cancers. But to get these healthy compounds, consumers should buy good-quality, fresh "extra-virgin" olive oil, which has the highest polyphenol content. Most commercially available olive oils have low levels of polyphenols associated with poor harvesting methods, improper storage, and heavy processing. Do cough syrups work?   Short answer: No In 2006, the nation's chest physicians agreed that the majority of over-the-counter cough medicines don't actually work. These colorful syrups typically contain doses of codeine and dextromethorphan that are too small to be effective. Only cough suppressants that contain older antihistamines seem to relieve coughs. That includes brompheniramine, an active ingredient in Dimetapp. Does sugar cause hyperactivity?   Short answer: No Following a review of 23 studies, a 1996 report published in the Journal of the American Medical Association concluded that sugar "does not affect the behavior or cognitive performance of children." The age-old myth that kids misbehave when they eat large amounts of candy, cookies, and other junk food, could be related to the type of events where these foods are typically served. For example, kids are more wound-up at birthday parties and during Halloween when sweet treats tend to flow freely. Do sugary soft drinks lead to diabetes?   Short answer: Yes The majority of health research is stacked against sugar-sweetened soda. A large 2004 study in the Journal of the American Medical Association found that women who drank one or more sugary drinks per day increased their risk of developing type 2 diabetes by 83% compared to those who consumed less than one of these beverages per month. Do I need sunscreen with more than 30 SPF?   Short answer: No Sunscreens with an SPF (sun protection factor) of 30 block about 97% of ultraviolet rays, while sunscreens with an SPF of higher than 30 block 97%-98%. It's more important that you choose "broad-spectrum" sunscreen, meaning it protects against both UVB and UVA rays. Sunbathers also need to apply a generous amount of sunscreen in order to get the full benefit of the SPF. Is the MSG in Chinese likely to give you a headache?   Short answer: No A review of 40 years of clinical trials, published in the journal of the American Academy of Nurse Practitioners in 2006, found that all previous research "failed to identify a consistent relationship between the consumption of MSG and the constellation of symptoms that comprise the syndrome," including headaches and asthma attacks. The misconception spawned from several poorly-done small studies in the 1960s that seemed to connect MSG with a variety of maladies that people experienced after eating at Chinese restaurants. Learn more about the MSG myth here » Do nuts make you fat?   Short answer: No As much as 75% of a nut is fat. But eating fat doesn't necessarily make you fat. The bigger factor leading to weight gain is portion-size. Luckily, nuts are loaded with healthy fats that keep you full. They're also a good source of protein and fiber. One study even found that whole almonds have 20% less calories than previously thought because a lot of the fat is excreted from the body. Is walking as effective as running?   Short answer: Yes Studies have shown that how long you exercise — and thus how many calories you burn — is more important than how hard you exercise. Running is a more efficient form of exercise, but not necessarily better for you. A six-year study published in the journal Arteriosclerosis, Thrombosis, and Vascular Biology in April found that walking at a moderate pace and running produced similar health benefits, so long as the same amount of energy was expended. Is drinking fruit juice as good for you as eating fruit?   Short answer: No Calorie for calorie, whole fruit provides more nutritional benefits than drinking the pure juice of that fruit. That's because when you liquefy fruit, stripping away the peel and dumping the pulp, many ingredients like fiber, calcium, vitamin C, and other antioxidants are lost. For comparison, a five-ounce glass of orange juice that contains 69 calories has .3 grams of dietary fiber and 16 milligrams of calcium, whereas an orange with the same number of calories packs 3.1 grams of fiber and 60 milligrams of calcium. Are all wheat breads better for you than white bread?   Short answer: No Not all wheat breads are created equal. Wheat breads that contain all parts of the grain kernel, including the nutrient-rich germ and fiber-dense bran, must be labeled "whole grain" or "whole wheat." Some wheat breads are just white bread with a little bit of caramel coloring to make the bread appear healthier, according to Reader's Digest. Can a hot tub make me sick?   Short answer: Yes Hot tubs — especially ones in spas, hotels, and gyms — are perfect breeding grounds for germs. The water is not hot enough to kill bacteria, but is just the right temperature to make microbes grow even faster. Even though hot tubs are treated with chlorine, the heat causes the disinfectant to break down faster than it would in regular pools. The most common hot tub infection is pseudomonas folliculitis, which causes red, itchy bumps. A more dangerous side-effect of soaking in a dirty Jacuzzi is a form of pneumonia known as Legionnaire's disease. This is what reportedly sickened more than 100 people at the Playboy Mansion back in 2011. Does coffee cause cancer?   Short answer: No Coffee got a bad rap in the 1980s when a study linked drinking coffee to pancreatic cancer. The preliminary report was later debunked. More recently, health studies have swung in favor of the caffeinated beverage. Coffee has been linked to a lower risk of type 2 diabetes, Parkinson's disease, liver cancer, and even suicide. Do eggs raise cholesterol levels?   Short answer: No Although egg yolks are a major source of cholesterol — a waxy substance that resembles fat — researchers have learned that saturated fat has more of an impact on cholesterol in your blood than eating foods that contain cholesterol. "Healthy individuals with normal blood cholesterol levels should now feel free to enjoy foods like eggs in their diet every day," the lead researcher from a 25-year University of Arizona study on cholesterol concluded. Can you drink too much water?   Short answer: Yes It is very rare for someone to die from drinking too much water, but it can happen. Overhydrating is most common among elite athletes. Drinking an excess of water, called water intoxication, dilutes the concentration of sodium in the blood leading to a condition known as hyponatremia. The symptoms of hyponatremia can range from nausea and confusion to seizures and even death in severe cases. To avoid this, drink fluids with electrolytes during extreme exercise events. Can yogurt ease digestive problems?   Short answer: Yes Our digestive tract is filled with microorganisms — some good and some bad. Yogurt contains beneficial bacteria, generically called probiotics, that helps maintain a healthy balance. Probiotics can relieve several gastrointestinal problems, including constipation and diarrhea. Certain brands of yogurts, like Activa by Dannon, are marketed exclusively to treat tummy issues. Do whitening toothpastes whiten teeth more than regular  toothpastes?   Short answer: No Whitening toothpastes usually contain peroxides and other strong abrasives that might make your teeth appear whiter by removing stains. Unlike at-home whitening strips and gels that contain bleach, these toothpastes do not actually change the color of your teeth. Is it safe to microwave food in plastic containers? Short answer: Yes But the plastic container should display the words "microwave safe." This means that the Food and Drug Administration has tested the container to make sure no chemicals used to make the plastic leech into foods during microwaving. If chemicals do seep out into food, the amounts are tiny and not dangerous to our health. As a general guideline, plastic grocery bags as well as most plastic tubs that hold margarine, yogurt, cream cheese, and condiments are not microwave safe. Can watching TV ruin your eyesight?   Short answer: No Watching TV will not destroy your rods and cones as the outdated myth suggests. Before the 1950s, TVs emitted radiation that could increase an individual's risk of eye problems after excessive TV viewing. Modern TVs have special shielding that blocks these harmful emissions. Is red wine better for you than white wine?   Short answer: Yes Red wine contains much more resveratrol than white wine, an antioxidant found in the skin of grapes that has been shown to fight off diseases associated with aging. Is bottled water better for you than tap water?   Short answer: No Bottled water is no safer or purer than tap water, although it is substantially more expensive. A recent study by Glasgow University in the U.K. found that bottled water is actually more likely to be contaminated than water from your faucet because it is less well-regulated. Bottled water and tap water typically come from the same sources — natural springs, lakes, and aquifers. While public water supplies are tested for contaminants every day, makers of bottled water are only required to test for specific contaminants every week, month, or year.
