Eat Fruits And Vegetable For Better Vision
17 Dec 2009

Carotenoids, found in green leafy vegetables and colored fruits, have been found to increase visual performance and may prevent age-related eye diseases, according to a study in the Journal of Food Science, published by the Institute of Food Technologists. Authors from the University of Georgia compiled the results of multiple studies on the effects of the carotenoids lutein and zeaxanthin on visual performance. These carotenoids play an important role in human vision, including a positive impact on the retina.

After reviewing the various studies, the authors concluded that macular pigments, such as lutein and zeaxanthin do have an effect on visual performance. Lutein and zeaxanthin can reduce disability and discomfort from glare, enhance contrast, and reduce photostress recovery times. They can also reduce glare from light absorption and increase the visual range.

Lead author Dr. Billy R. Hammond Jr. noted that the research of the effects of lutein and zeazanthin are important because "it is clear that they could potentially improve vision through biological means. For example, a study conducted in 2008 suggests that the pigments protect the retina and lens and perhaps even help prevent age-related eye diseases such as macular degeneration and cataract."

Rules for Aging, by Roger Rosenblatt

I have so enjoyed this book I thought it would be fun to share it with you!

"Rule #1: It doesn't matter.
Whatever you think matters-- doesn't Follow this rule, and it will add decades to your life. It does not matter if you are late, or early; if you are here, or if ou are thre; if you said it, or did not say it; if you were clever, or if you were stupid; if you are having a bad hair day, or a no hair day; if your boss looks at you cockeyed; if your girlfriend or boyfriend looks at you cockeyed; if you are cockeyed; if you don't get that promotion, or prize, or house, or if you do. It doesn't matter."

As I am reading and typing this, I am thinking of all the things I stress and fret about that really do not matter! And as a health educator, I know that the stress, worry and fretting produces more free radicals that promote premature aging and disease. So today I am practicing going with the flow and it doesn't matter!

Top 5 Reasons to Love A.M. Exercise



Exercising early in the morning "jump starts" your metabolism, keeping it elevated for hours, sometimes for up to 24 hours! As a result, you'll be burning more calories all day long

One of my favorite teachers and mentors has passed, Jim Rohn.� This is one of his many words of wisdom:
Let
others lead small lives, but not you.
Let
others argue over small things, but not you.
Let
others cry over small hurts, but not you.
Let
others leave their futures in someone else's hands,
but not
you.
