Hollywood's Superhero Rx For Better Eyesight!

                             Improve Vision With Food! 

Hollywood loves telling stories about superheroes-Spiderman, Ironman,
Batman and of course Superman. Why the appeal? Perhaps it allows
young men and women to reconnect to childhood or maybe we just
want some of those "superpowers" ourselves.

You know superpowers like an increase in strength, hearing, or vision.
But wait, you don't have to become a superhero to get super vision,
no- all you need to do is take a trip to your local supermarket or
farmers's market and pick up some of the foods that'll help you achieve
better vision.
Foods Like...
a) Green Beans-
Plentiful this time of yr., green beans are particularly helpful for those
who want to improve their night vision. Gr. beans contain the two pigments-
lutein and zeaxanthin, both of which help to heal and protect the retinal
cells that enhance your ability to recognize fine details, reduce blind spots
and improve vision in dim lights.
b) Eggs-
Yes, eggs. often given a bad rap as a food that'll increase cholesterol, but
it's the opposite, an egg a few times a week can help you in a number of ways,
especially concerning your eyesight. Contain the same two pigments as green
beans and help you when driving at night.
c) Summer Squash-
Especially green squash, another food that helps those who do a lot
of night driving.
d) Sunflower Seeds-
Reread our post about a week ago, it explains how sunflower seeds
can help get rid of nearsightedness.
e) Fish-
Yesterday's post- explained how fatty fish like sardines and salmon
can boost moods and help prevent depression. Well, if dry eyes are
happening-get more of the good fat that's found in fish.
f) Watch What You Eat-
Simply put- watch how you prepare your eggs, fish, green beans and squash.
Cooking with too much fat (bacon grease) lard or butter is a disaster-not
only for your waistline but eyesight as well. And watch the other foods as well,
like a thick char broiled steak, 8 oz. burgers, hot dogs and bacon. These types
of foods also contribute to you losing your vision over the yrs.
g) Exercise-
You have to exercise to stay thin and keep your heart in shape, well the eyes
need exercise as well. One simple exercise to strengthen eyes- sit in a
comfortable chair or on the floor, and look at the wall in front of you.
Now, move your eyes from left to right, (about 10 times) and then up and
down (another 10 times) and then finish up by moving your eyes in circles, 

another 10 times. Do this a few times a week and watch how your vision improves.

That's it- Now when you look at Superman or Spiderman and wish
that you can have just one of their superpowers- today you can,
thanks to certain foods.

Good Luck!
