Sparkling Eyes – for good vision and popularity
[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]
Why do some people always catch the attention of most around them? Why do people pay much more attention to their faces than that of others? Why are they the focus of interest when they speak? The answer my friend lies in their eyes.
Healthy eyes mirror the clear soul, expose the radiant thoughts, spread the inner beauty across the face, captivate the beholder 
and mostly create a bond when gaze meets gaze. It is this lively sparkling pair that oozes warmth, inspires confidence and invites sharing. Silent and yet so very eloquent, eyes initiate the first moves to any action. That is why it is naturally agreed that to know a person well, his eyes must be studied.
Eyes give vision the most precious thing in the world.
If God has been kind to us, that we are privileged in having two good eyes, then we must keep them in a good and healthy condition, full of life and shining. Reflect on those who cannot see or are partially blind; they are deprived of seeing the beauty of Nature and all within it. The only external organ that can be replaced physically but whose use is not facilitated – namely sight.
Good Vision needs three things
- Healthy eyes for unrestricted or unimpeded vision through a good diet
- Eye exercises to maintain the health of the eyes
- Avoidance of those habits that come in the way of good eyesight

Eating well for those shiny eyes
- Nutrients as omega -3 fatty acids, lutein, zinc and vitamins C & E provide good eye health. Available in a range of foods as green leafy vegetables like spinach, kale, collards, fish like salmon, tuna etc. fruits like oranges, lemon, guava etc, they should be available in the regular diet. Not only is good vision ensured, even the effects of deteriorating vision and macular degeneration later on in life due to aging, are retarded or slowed down.
