how to change the color of your eyes

number one feed your eyes properly just

like any other part of your body your

eyes need specific vitamins and micro

elements to function properly diets rich

in vegetables and fruit and low in fatty

foods and sugar that your eyes demand is

actually beneficial for your whole body

such berries as grapes goji and

blueberries have effective

anti-inflammatory properties and also

help to improve your vision dark leafy

vegetables sweet potatoes carrots and

pumpkin contain beta-carotene dioxin fen

and lutein act your eyes from being

damaged by the Sun strawberries eggs

salmon mackerel oranges and such nuts as

almonds provide you with vitamins a c

and e for example vitamin A helps you to

improve your night vision and prevents

night blindness and vitamin C slows down

the development of cataracts and macular

degeneration vitamin E is beneficial for

those people who have early signs of

macular degeneration that is connected

with age

as for crab turkey and oysters they

contain zinc and copper zinc helps to

produce an eye protecting pigment

melanin copper prevents the development

of age-related macular degeneration both

these vitamins and minerals are vital

for good vision as well as for disease

protection if you include in your diet

onions garlic and caper you will enrich

your diet with lecithin sulfur and

cysteine this will prevent the lenses of

your eyes from getting cataracts omega-3

fatty acids in the amount of a thousand

milligrams per day will help you to

avoid dry eyes and macular degeneration

that's why mackerel herring tuna salmon

walnuts and flax seeds should be

frequent ingredients in your diet if you

can't get any seafood buying fish oil

supplements will be a good alternative

number 2 make some lifestyle changes

first of all adjust the lighting you

have in your room or in the office for

one fluorescent lighting isn't good for

your eyes it not only gives off wrong

frequencies of color but also emits

radiation this makes you feel drowsy

also when you work or study keep a

shaded lamp on the desk it should be

located in front of you the light should

be pointed at your work while the shade

will protect your eyes improve the

quality of the air in your office and at

home first and foremost get an air

humidifier the thing is that the reason

you have dry eyes is a lack of moisture

and lubrication on their surface this

can lead to a mild irritation but also

turn out as bad as a serious

inflammation of the eye tissues that's

why a device that will moisturize the

air in your home or at the workplace is

a must also check the air flow of your

thermostat if it's too strong

your eyes may suffer as well the same

goes for a vent if your desk stays just

next to it try to replace it to another

area going outside when you know that

the air quality is poor or pollen count

is high is also a bad idea pet dander is

a potent irritant that's why you should

clean

the furniture in your house and vacuum

as often as possible if you have pets

quit smoking this habit not only harms

your lungs but also causes such health

problems connected with eyesight as

macular degeneration optic nerve damage

and cataracts what is more smoking can

lead to diabetes and this condition in

turn will damage your eyes control you

weight first of all a good diet will

fill your body with vitamins and

nutrients beneficial for your eyes

secondly following a balanced diet

you'll avoid diabetes which can

ultimately lead to blindness always wear

sunglasses when you go outside the

reason isn't even sunlight that is too

bright

UV radiation coming from the Sun

amplifies your risks of macular

degeneration and cataracts invest in a

pair of sunglasses with ninety nine or a

hundred percent protection from UV rays

and put them on whenever you're outside

in the Sun try to use your computer as

little as possible of course it's easier

said than done if your work is tightly

connected to this device even so there

are some ways to reduce the negative

impact of staring at the computer screen

all day long implement a 20-20-20 rule

to your working routine according to

this rule you should look at something

situated 20 feet away from you for 20

seconds every 20 minutes don't forget to

blink

this way you'll produce tears they're

necessary to refresh and moisten your

eyes make the font size larger and the

screen brighter and with more contrast

easier your monitor should be directly

in front of you it's screen is to be

located a bit below your eye level
