How To Stop Vision From Worsening

Physical exercise and activities can help your muscle strength, balance and the circulation of oxygen around the body. This has beneficial effects on your overall health and can help stop your eyesight deteriorating.

But don’t let physical exercise become a chore. You are far more likely to maintain a healthy exercise routine if you enjoy what you are doing. And exercising in the company of others can be a great way to socialize and have a laugh. Whichever form of exercise you choose, try to relax and enjoy it.

Experience shows that people who engage with others and have a sense of humor are less likely to be stressed. Anxiety contributes to poor health so anything you can do to ease it is good for your overall health. Entertainment in the form of outings, carnivals, picnics, holiday celebrations, and birthday parties certainly helps.

Meditation, yoga and breathing exercises have also proved to be beneficial for relieving stress. Activities that combine pleasure with movement, such as dancing, singing or gardening, will help you stay healthy.

At the same time, to stop your vision deteriorating you should avoid spending long periods watching TV or working on a computer. Take regular breaks and look away frequently, or walk around, to break up any screen-work.

Diet is something else you should watch if you want to stop your vision from worsening. The old adage is that if you eat lots of carrots your eyesight becomes sharper. And there’s certainly an element of truth there somewhere. A low fat, high-fiber diet with lots of fruit and vegetables keeps you trim and makes you feel good.

Such a diet, enjoyed in the company of others, will also help keep high blood-sugar levels and diabetes at bay. Diabetes can lead to problems like glaucoma, blurry vision, cataracts and retinopathy, and is a leading cause of blindness in adults. At the same time, you should avoid alcohol, smoking, excessive sugar and overeating.

We all feel well after a good night’s sleep, which is also an opportunity to rest your eyes. Having a good bedtime routine, where you retire at the same time every day, can greatly improve your sleep.

Steer clear of smartphones and laptops before sleeping—you’re better to read a book or magazine. Or simply close your eyes and listen to your favorite music or a radio program.
