The Body's Light

Six days ago, the world celebrated the World Sight Day. The Biblical Deliverer of the Israelites (Moses) was a man whose eye sight never grew dim with age. When it comes to improving your vision naturally it is helpful to pay attention to the area associated with nutrition. For instance, many factors are responsible for improving your vision health but the nutritional factor is one vital area that you should not overlook. This is due to the fact that the nutrition that you feed your eyes accounts for more than 30% of the results that you get from an eye exercise program to improve your vision naturally. In terms of nutrition there are certain eye vitamins and minerals that end up increasing your vision health. These factors assist you in your efforts to achieve significant results with your eye exercise program in terms of vision improvement. One particular mineral that supports eye health that we don't normally associate with vision improvement is Magnesium. Therefore, here is some information as to the vision health benefits associated with taking a magnesium supplement to improve your vision health:

Some general health benefits of taking Magnesium include lower blood pressure. This is due to the fact that magnesium plays a role in regulating normal heart function. From this point of view it assists the heart as a natural remedy for heart palpitations due to the fact that it maintains a normal heart rhythm. It also helps you to maintain normal blood pressure. Concentrations of magnesium are also found in the bones and skeletal muscle. Therefore, this mineral supports bone health. Magnesium is also useful in the sense that due to the fact that it is considered a muscle relaxant it is used by athletes to alleviate sore muscles. There is also an application that applies to relieving anxiety and depression. For instance, a deficiency in this mineral causes these symptoms as this mineral also regulates the healthy function of the nervous system. It is also important in regulating energy levels and improving the health of the immune system. But did you know that Magnesium also supports eye health? Here are some eye health benefits of magnesium for better vision:

Helps in Absorption of various vitamins: magnesium is involved in absorbing Vitamins A, C and B and these vitamins play a role in maintaining the healthy function of ocular tissue in the eyes. This mineral works in conjunction with these vitamins to prevent oxidative stress in the eyes factors responsible for the development of cataracts.

Reduces Risks For Age Related Vision Disorders: Research suggests that magnesium reduces the risks for the age related vision disorders macular degeneration, cataracts and also diabetic retinopathy. A research study in the British Journal of medicine reveals that eating an extra portion and a half of green vegetables, which is a good nutritional source of this mineral, actually provides the body with 14% of your daily recommended allowance for this nutrient. Therefore, this is adequate enough to lower blood glucose levels in the body to normal levels. This is a factor that also leads to a reduction in the risks for diabetic retinopathy.

Magnesium is an essential nutrient that controls a variety of important functions in the body that are associated with the regulation of normal heart rhythm, blood pressure as well as the regulation of a properly working digestive system and immune system. This mineral also helps the eyes as well in terms of reducing the risks for various eye diseases and eye disorders such as diabetic retinopathy, macular degeneration and cataracts. This mineral should be taken in conjunction with calcium for best results.

Was He In Error?

A Prescriber writing a prescription In my early years of practice, about a decade ago, I had an experience that taught me that it is unwise to follow the path of assumptions. Never assume to know something that you do not or a concept that you are not clear with. Doing this can lead to grave consequences. I was working an evening shift in a retail pharmacy when a client came in with a prescription on which was written the order: - Tabs Amovine i bd X 1/52. Amovine (or Amovin as it is correctly written), is a brand of anti-infective medication by Evans Therapeutics, containing Amoxicillin and Clavulanic Acid, used for the treatment of bacterial infections. Upon receipt of the prescription, I was not sure what to make of it, but then, I was inclined to interpret the order as follows: - Tabs Avomine i bd X 1/52, all thanks to the style at which prescribers write prescription orders. Amovine is a brand of antihistamine containing Promethazine which is used mainly for the management of nau

Child Care during the Common Viral Infections Cold and flu are the two most common viral infections affecting children. Unfortunately there isn't any cure for common cold and influenza since most antibiotics doesn't have any effect on these viruses. Antibiotics are only indicated for secondary bacterial infections. As a parent the best you can do is make your baby feel comfortable by ensuring they get enough rest and drink plenty of fluids. How can this be achieved? Relieving A Stuffy Nose • For infants a rubber suction bulb can be used for sucking drainage from the nasal passages. Your child will breathe a lot more freely when the clogged mucus is sucked out from the nose. • Using 1-2 saline drops (saltwater) for each nostril greatly helps in alleviating congested nose. • Place a cool-mist vaporizer or humidifier in the room of your kid to keep their nasal secretion from drying up. The humidifier would provide the extra moisture which would make your baby more comfo
