How to Naturally Cure Chronic Dry Eyes Permanently

Chronic Dry Eyes are very uncomfortable and sometimes painful condition

It can be treated and prevented naturally with permanent results

I will discuss various strategies but my favorite which has more than 70% success rate are MSM liquid Drops, Essential fatty acids and Vitamin A, which is must for dry eye patients.

Chronic Dry Eyes or dry eye syndrome is a very uncomfortable and sometimes painful condition experienced by many. No one wants to sit with uncomfortable or painful eyes. It makes working and driving difficult and really impacts the quality of life in general. At times it can seem like nothing is working, but in this article, I will be giving you information on how to treat and naturally cure chronic dry eyes permanently.  

What Is Chronic Dry Eyes

Dry eyes simply put is your eyes not being able to retain moisture or lubricate themselves effectively. Our eyes are lubricated by our tears. They contain mucus which keeps our eyes smooth, water and electrolytes in the layer above the mucus for hydration, and on oils top of that secreted by the glands in the eyelids to retain moisture. There are three types of tears:

Basal tears: These tears are always present in your eyes to make sure that they are kept well lubricated. Every time you blink a layer of basal tears coats your eyes so that they do not dry out.

Reflex tears: These tears form when something irritates your eye to help get rid of it. They also help to get rid of any bacteria that may be in your eyes.

Emotional tears: These tears are formed when you cry.

Dry eye is caused by your eye not producing enough tears, particularly the basal tears, or if the quality of your tears is poor meaning they do not contain enough oils, or mucus, electrolytes, or water. When this happens, your eyes can't be lubricated properly and are prone to becoming irritated. When this condition becomes recurring or never goes away it is called a chronic dry eye.  

Conclusion

Chronic dry eye is also called dry eye syndromeSymptoms include redness, scratchy or irritated eyes, watery eyes, sensitivity to light, and blurred vision.Eye drops and ointments are only a temporary solution and can make things worse if used incorrectly.You may need to see a doctor if you develop other symptoms such as swelling in the eyes, severe pain in the eyes, joint pain, swelling, and stiffness, or if you have injured your eyes.Dry Eye can be treated and prevented naturally by staying away from smoke and pollution, staying out of the wind, limiting time in front of the computer and television, staying hydrated, consuming healthy fats, and making sure you get enough vitamin A.Warm compresses and gentle massaging of the eyelids can stimulate the oil glands to secrete oil like they are meant to.Have you had dry eye? What worked for you?

Your Baby Eczema Causes and Triggers & How to Get Rid Of It

Eczema is one of the most common health problems ailing babies and young children.

Eczema can be treated using very simple and natural methods.

If you are expecting or planning to become pregnant, there are ways that you can minimize the risk of your child developing eczema.

In this article, I will be discussing baby eczema causes. It's horrible to see your little one struggling with a skin problem but there are steps you can take to minimize the occurrence of eczema and treat it when it does happen.

When you think about the fact that baby products are geared towards sensitive and fragile skin it can be very worrying to think about what could be triggering eczema. You will learn all about the triggers, but first, it's important to understand your baby's skin and what eczema is.  

Your Baby's Skin

A baby's skin is only 1/5 as thick as an adult's skin despite having the same amount of layers. This means the skin is very sensitive. Your baby's skin can dry out more easily and is more easily affected by chemicals in products and by the sun. Just on a side note, it is so important to protect them from Microwaves and Cell phone radiations. They can penetrate easily into the babies and can do permanent damage. I have written a full separate article on that. Getting back to Eczema:  

What Is Eczema

Eczema is also known as atopic dermatitis and isn't contagious. Atopic dermatitis is the most common form of eczema among children. It usually has two phases:

Phase 1 (inactive): This is where the skin is dry. The skin will need to be moisturized daily to relieve the dryness and the discomfort that comes with it (itching, tightness, flaking, and irritation). Below I have written how to sop this in stage one or how to reverse it to stage 1 to having no eczema.                                                                                                                                          

Phase 2 (active): This is where treatment is required because eczema has flared up. Usually, the treatment is cream or lotion that will soothe itchy skin and calm the inflammation.

Conclusion

Eczema (atopic dermatitis) can develop in babies as young as 6 months and is usually outgrown by age 5 though it can also last into adulthood in some children.

Eczema has two phases, an inactive phase where the skin is dry and sometimes irritated and requires daily moisturizing, and the active phase where there are patches of eczema.

Many things can cause eczema, usually genetics, stress, and allergens.

Reduce exposure to allergens and try an elimination diet to learn which foods trigger eczema.

Create a stress-free environment for your child to minimize the possibility of stress.

Use natural chemical-free products where possible.

Keep baths short and lukewarm. Moisturize within 3 minutes of the bath finishing.

A healthy diet full of vegetables and healthy fats will help to support your child's immune system and skin health.

You can minimize the risk of your child getting eczema by eating probiotics and getting enough vitamin D during pregnancy and breastfeeding.

What remedies do you use to alleviate your child's eczema or what remedies did your parents use to relieve your eczema as a child?

I have helped people transform their bodies. This is me in the centre and this is my mom on the left. She has hypothyroidism, technically she should gain weight but she lost weight with years. I will send you pics on the Skype I would never suggest my any client or any of you to follow a GM diet because your weight will bounce back. You need a lifestyle. Lets scientifically see day 1 to day 7, what's happening inside your body.

Why mind-body balance matters

16 ways to reignite your routine

A test for iron deficiency is a must for every woman. Having Iron deficiency can affect the quality of daily life drastically. Imagine, that this beautiful day, which is never going to come back to you, you spend it in bed sleeping, fatigued. Being Iron deficit sucks! If you are an adult male or a postmenopause women, don't waste your time reading this article.

Because Iron deficiency is unlike the cause of your fatigue unless you have lost blood. Somehow all women are guilty telling about their sleep naps in the afternoon. I remember my mom telling me that she is awake in the afternoon, while she slept without even knowing when she fell asleep. Today, I can connect the points. She has been anemic the whole life and so do I. That's why it was very important for me to write this detailed article for every woman, who is suffering from extreme fatigue, dull nails and hairs and pale complexion.

This article will be different to any other articles you will find on different websites because I will not be talking about the common tests and the symptoms. This article will cover, the whole picture of iron level tests and its treatment and what causes it. The World Health Organisation (WHO) found that 29% of women in their reproductive years are iron deficient.

Even worse, 38% of pregnant women are deficient. India has one of the highest rates with 55% of women being anemic. South Asia and West Africa are the regions with the worst rates of iron deficiency. But this is really a global issue. Women are often tired, and we think it is because of our busy lives, which it very well could be. We often have many responsibilities at home and at work, but it could also be due to iron deficiency.  

ConclusionIron :

deficiency is common in women during their reproductive yearsCommon causes of iron deficiency are not eating enough iron, excess exercise, pregnancy, kidney problems, and digestive problemsSigns of iron deficiency are paleness, feeling out of breath, craving dirt or ice, and feeling exhausted all the timeWhen testing your iron levels, take all 4 tests: serum iron, TIBC, transferrin saturation, and serum ferritinFoods high in iron include: liver, beef, sardines, beans, leafy greens and seedsPairing iron-rich foods with vitamin C boosts absorption of ironHigh-calcium foods, tea, coffee, and wine reduce the absorption of ironYou can have excessive iron levels or haemochromatosis which is dangerous to your health.

Most Easiest Way To Make Bones Stronger: Olympic Athletes Technique

With the information out there about osteoporosis, everyone wants to know how to get stronger bones. It is a valid concern considering many older people struggle with osteoporosis. Everyone wants to live life to the full and age well so that they can keep enjoying life in their later years.

Bone density is one of the biggest concern of people getting older. After 30 we start losing bone density, so right steps should be taken after 30 only. The good news is that it is very simple. In this article, I will be telling you all about how to keep your bones healthy, including using a vibration plate which has benefits far beyond just bone health.  

How To Make Your Bones Stronger

The foundation of stronger bones starts very early. You should be taking right steps right now, to avoid the bent body down the road. The best way is a healthy diet and lifestyle. Start doing the following things to increase and maintain the health of your bones:  

Make sure you eat enough calcium. We need 1000 mg per day. Leafy green vegetables, Raw Milk, Fish  Sardine, Yogurt are my top choices as calcium sources,  so be sure to add them to your diet. You can lightly steam your greens to ensure better absorption of nutrients. Read here to find out about other sources of calcium.

If you choose to take a calcium supplement, make sure that it contains magnesium and vitamins D3 and K2 as well as these nutrients all work together for bone health and maximise absorption. Do not take more than 500 mg calcium at once. The doctors do this biggest mistake, prescribing 1000 mg in one tablet. I have written an extra article on calcium supplementation here.

Avoid processed foods and cut out or limit alcohol and soft drinks as these can cause bone loss over time or when used excessively. Following a more alkaline diet is also beneficial for bone health.

Weight-bearing and impact exercises. Resistance exercise using either weights or body weight strengthen your muscles to support your bones better. Impact exercises such as walking, jogging and climbing stairs strengthen your bones.

But, trust me this article is not about that. If I would have to repeat whats already written repeatedly over the net I would not have been writing this article.  

Conclusion

WBVT is one of the best and fastest ways to make bones stronger.

Improvements to strength and bone health are seen in as little as 8 minutes per day twice a week.

Stronger muscles improved blood circulation, and detoxing are some of the other benefits of WBVT.

WBVT is so effective that it's used by astronauts to restore bone density and muscle strength after being in space for long periods of time and athletes to increase strength and decrease injuries.

WBVT can be used by children as young as 12 years old to elderly people after receiving the go-ahead from a doctor.

WBVT can be used by those with health conditions like diabetes, cerebral palsy and osteoporosis to improve health.

You can do simple exercises on the vibration plate-like squats, lunges, shoulder presses and dumbbell rows to increase your strength.

Foods with calcium and vitamin D to take care of your bone health

[drearlmindell-blog]

Food for Thought

It’s been said before that you are what you eat. While scoffing down a hamburger won’t turn you into a hamburger, extensive research has shown that diet can play a significant role not only in your waist size but also your brain function says Dr. Earl Mindell. Interestingly, paleontological investigations have shown that this concept extends even to the evolution of the hominid species, where it has been found that brain size is physically larger in those species which had access to dietary omega-3 fatty acids; larger brains are associated with more developed and complex behaviors, such as cooking and upright walking. We are pleased to know that homo sapiens have the largest brain size of any living primate, though every now and then we meet certain individuals who may challenge this idea.

Omega-3

In any quick search of dietary omega-3 oils, you’re likely to find some mention of brain function. Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), a type of omega-3 fatty acid, is found at significant levels in neuronal cell membranes. It has a wide variety of effects on the brain, including neurotransmission (the passing of a signal from one brain cell to another), inflammation in the brain, myelination (which affects the speed of a signal through the neuron), and synaptic plasticity (the ability for the brain to develop new connections between neurons). A healthy intake of omega-3 has been linked with reducing the rate of cognitive decline in elderly patients and those with Alzheimer’s disease, as well as improving cognitive function in cases of post-brain trauma. Conversely, insufficient dietary omega-3 is associated with an increased risk of psychotic disorders including bipolar disorder and schizophrenia. An outstanding exception to this can be seen in the case of Gollum from Lord of the Rings, who evidently had a propensity for eating raw fish yet was still significantly unhinged. Not just a sneaky LOTR reference but also an excellent segue into the topic of dietary sources of omega-3, omega-3 fatty acids can be found in abundance in fish such as salmon and herring, chia seeds, walnuts, and flax seeds. Saturated fats, such as those in the aforementioned hamburger, are shown to aggravate cognitive decline in humans.

Antioxidants

Due to its high energy requirements, higher than any other organ in the body and consuming over 20% of the body’s total energy expenditure, the brain is very susceptible to oxidative stress and damage from metabolic processes. Ascorbic acid, found in foods such as citrus fruits, peppers, spinach, broccoli, and Brussel sprouts, has been shown to reduce the incidence of severe cognitive impairment in the elderly. Certain antioxidants extracted from blueberries are also able to boost learning and memory. These “brain berries”, a term coined by nutritionist Dr. Earl Mindell, provide dietary flavonoids and are thought to protect neuronal membranes from oxidative damage and improve synaptic plasticity. In a study conducted by the University of Exeter, the intake of concentrated blueberry juice in adults aged 65-77 years was found to increase brain activity and performance in tests of cognitive function, such as memory. Flavonoids are also found in red wine and dark chocolate, making these a superb Valentine’s Day gift, as well as green tea and citrus fruits. The curry spice turmeric is high in another antioxidant known as curcumin. This compound is linked with slowing the cognitive decay associated with Alzheimer’s disease and traumatic brain injuries. To prove the point, Alzheimer’s and dementia are found at a low prevalence in India, a country known for its diet high in curry spices, with a dementia-related death rate of only 14.57 per 100000 people. In the US this rate sits around 44.41.

Micronutrients

Micronutrients are so named due to their being required in only very small amounts in the diet. Examples of micronutrients include vitamin B, iron, vitamin D, and copper. Vitamin B actually comprises a group of eight different compounds, such as folate (also known as vitamin B9), several of which have been strongly associated with cognitive function. The role of the B group of vitamins in brain health is highlighted by the array of symptoms that manifest in cases of deficiency: irritability, memory loss, abnormal motor function, fatigue, depression and anxiety, lethargy, psychosis, dementia, and behavioral/personality changes. Because the B vitamins are water soluble, they are excreted via urine if consumed in excess. While this makes them safer at high dosages, it also means they are required more regularly in the diet. Vitamin B can be found in cereals, potatoes (unfortunately still not an excuse to load up on hot chips), mushrooms, and legumes. Vitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin that the human body is able to synthesize via exposure to sunlight. It can also be obtained from many of the same sources of vitamin B such as mushrooms and cereals, as well as from milk and fatty fish, and plays a role in preserving brain function in elderly people. Iron can easily be obtained from red meat and lentils; women who were deficient in iron (anemic), performed more slowly on cognitive tasks than those with adequate iron levels. Low levels of copper in the blood have been linked with the deterioration of brain function in those with Alzheimer’s disease. Luckily for oyster lovers out there, this non-mobile mollusk contains 79% of the recommended dietary copper intake for every 100g of the oyster. Add a squeeze of lemon juice on that and you’ve got some antioxidants, too. Avocados, kale, seeds, and nuts also contain varying degrees of copper emphasizes Dr. Earl Mindell.

So there you have it, from omega-3 to vitamin B, from brain size to Alzheimer’s disease – a little food for thought.
