Health Tips

For Dry eyes

Dry eye occurs when the eye does not produce enough tears. Dry eyes may sting or burn, feel itchy, irritated, strained or tired. Contact lenses may feel uncomfortable if your eyes are too dry.

Tear production may stop or slow as part of the aging process, according to the U.S. National Library of Medicine. Other causes for dry eye include cold or allergy medications, exposure to the sun, wind, dust and smoke.

To help reduce symptoms of dry eye, you may follow points:-

• Using artificial tears

• Wear glasses instead of contact lenses

Types of Vitamins And Minerals To Keep Eyes Health

Vitamins A, E, and C all appear to offer benefits for overall eye health.

For example vitamin A may reduce the risks of cataracts and night blindness. Further a deficiency in vitamin A has been implicated in blindness and corneal ulcers.

Vitamin E plays a role in the reducing the risk for macular degeneration and cataracts; finally, vitamin C reduces pressure in Glaucoma, slows age related degeneration and provides resistance to cataracts. It appears that vitamins are a rich source of antioxidants. Antioxidants fight the effects of oxidation that contributes to the destruction of health tissues and is strongly implicated in macular degeneration

Heart Attack

Since many people are alone when they suffer a heart attack, without help, the person whose heart is beating improperly and who begins to feel faint, has only about 10 seconds left before losing consciousness.

However, these victims can help themselves by coughing repeatedly and very vigorously. A deep breath should be taken before each cough, and the cough must be deep and prolonged, as when producing sputum from deep inside the chest.

A breath and a cough must be repeated about every two seconds without let-up until help arrives, or until the heart is felt to be beating normally again.

Deep breaths get oxygen into the lungs and coughing movements squeeze the heart and keep the blood circulating. The squeezing pressure on the heart also helps it regain normal rhythm. In this way, heart attack victims can get to a hospital. Tell as many other people as possible about this. It could save their lives!!
