Green Tea For Healthier Eyes

August 29th, 2010 wmeng24 No comments

Here’s a short article about the benefits of green tea… it contains essential nutrients that promote healthier eyesight.

A new study suggests drinking green tea may help protect the eyes from glaucoma and other eye diseases.

Researchers at the University of Hong Kong analyzed the eye tissue of laboratory rats that were fed green tea. They found that the eye structures absorbed powerful antioxidants in the beverage called catechins.

The effects of green tea catechins in reducing harmful oxidative stress in the eye lasted for up to 20 hours, according to the report in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry.

“Our results indicate that green tea consumption could benefit the eye against oxidative stress,” the report concluded.

The study’s authors say that the catechins in green tea are among a number of antioxidants thought capable of protecting the eye. Those include vitamin C, vitamin E, lutein and zeaxanthin. Until now, however, nobody knew if the catechins in green tea actually passed from the stomach and gastrointestinal tract into the tissues of the eye.

Green tea is also believed to be beneficial for reducing the risk of other illnesses including certain cancers, high cholesterol, cardiovascular disease, rheumatoid arthritis, depression and infection.

How did I improve my astigmatism

August 20th, 2010 wmeng24 No comments

Since my post some weeks ago about the improvement in my astigmatism, I’ve received several emails asking about what I did to improve my astigmatism.

Well, the truth is, I can’t point to any specific thing and neither can my optician. However, I can tell you about some of the changes I’ve made since I started my quest to improve my vision a couple of years ago… I’m sure that the improvement can be attributed to one or more of these things:

Eye exercises – Doing Eye exerices was one of the first things I started doing. Intially, I followed the steps in the Rebuild Your Vision Program very regularly. However, in more recent times, I have been doing the exercises rather infrequently.

Nutrition – I decided to use a multivitamin that has the vitamins and minerals necessary for healthy eyes, such as lutein. I am currently using MegaMen Sport, because I’m so active (swimming, cycling, etc), but you can check out the Occu-Plus Formula or any of the eye vitamins product on this page.

General habits – There are couple of habits I’ve developed over the past couple of years:

  • Practicing the 10-10-10 rule when using the computer… as well as trying to blink more frequently when I’m at the computer
  • Not depending on my glasses too much… I don’t use them unless I have to.

So there you have it… the changes I’ve made to help improve my own eyesight.

Have you seen any improvement in your eyesight? And if so what have you been doing?

Vision Tip From The RebuildYourVision Program

August 9th, 2010 wmeng24 No comments

Here’s a tip from the Rebuild Your Vision Program - It’s about how night lights affect your eyes.

Most of us believe that leaving a night-light on for our kids is reassuring, but a new study from the University of Pennsylvania Medical Center suggests that, by doing so, we may be inadvertently damaging our children’s vision. The study found that kids under 2 who sleep with a night-light on are three times more likely to develop shortsightedness than those who sleep in the dark.

The study also found that children who slept with high-powered bulbs, such as an overhead light, are up to five times more likely to develop myopia, indicating that the effect worsens with brighter ambient night-time light.

“It appears that a daily period of darkness is needed for the postnatal development of the eyes,” says Richard Stone, professor of ophthalmology at UPenn.
