Key#3 Increase Body Relaxation and Good Posture

It's very difficult, if not impossible, to relax your eyes and mind and maintain clear vision if your body is overly tense. Postural imbalances and physical tension have long been associated with vision problems. It's important for you to find ways to release tension and develop relaxation in your body. In addition, people with vision problems shouldn't read or watch TV while lying down. Instead, they should sit in a relaxed, comfortable position. This makes it easier forrepparttar blood andrepparttar 137098 oxygen to circulate torepparttar 137099 head andrepparttar 137100 eyes.

Key# 4 Breathe Deeply and Regularly

Approximately 30% ofrepparttar 137101 oxygen you inhale goes to nourishrepparttar 137102 muscles, nerves and brain cells of your visual system. Watch what happens to your breathingrepparttar 137103 next time you are engrossed in an activity or are tense. Most likely, it will become shallow and irregular. You might even find that you are holding your breath unconsciously for periods of time. Breathing deeply and rhythmically helps vision. And it will keep your body more relaxed, help you concentrate easier for longer periods of time and eliminate eyestrain and fatigue.

Key #5 Look Openly and Honestly

Past and present emotional stress can affect vision, so it is important to developrepparttar 137104 inner willingness to see. Emotionally, there may be a part of us that believes that if we don't see something it might disappear. Though this response might feel more safe, nothing disappears when we don't see it. Instead,repparttar 137105 problem orrepparttar 137106 feeling haunts us until we look at it and deal with it openly and directly. Develop an inner willingness to look directly at challenging and difficult situations and do whatever you can to releaserepparttar 137107 emotional stress that affects vision

Dementia: Just What Is It?

My brother-in-law: He had a bad fall out of a tree when he was pruning it. He fell about 15 feet off a ladder, landed on his shoulder, broke his collar bone and a few other internal injuries. He was laid up in bed for six months and my wife (his sister) noticed towardrepparttar end of this time that his mental responses seemed to be deteriorating. It has now been 15 years sincerepparttar 137065 fall and he has no cognizance of “what has been”. His long term memory is fair at best. His short term memory is virtually non-existent. He can no longer drive because he has no idea of how to get where he wants to go, or even of where he wants to go. In a conversation he will repeat himself every couple of minutes forgetting that he has just said that same thing – even 5 to 10 times inrepparttar 137066 space of a quarter hour? His physical appearance: handsome, rugged, vigorous, he appears to be a healthy and vigorous man of 60ish. He is actually 82. A reaction to a severe injury.

Me, personally: In march of 2000 I had a mild stroke and again in May I had a second mild stroke. They were so mild I put them down as “pseudo-strokes”, one of which I had inrepparttar 137067 summer of 1988, and did not couple them with “real strokes” until I was reading an article in Readers Digest in August about strokes. But...both I and my sweetie (my wife June) had noticed that my memory seemed to be getting worse. Oh, I’ve always hadrepparttar 137068 ability to forget what I’m talking about in mid-sentence, and to forget a word I was trying to use before I could remember and use it! But now it was getting noticeably worse. And it remains worse. I struggle often with words I know and use everyday, includingrepparttar 137069 street where I live,repparttar 137070 connecting street to it, names of people, places and things. A reaction to strokes.

The wife of a close friend: She was a bright woman, mother of three, housewife, teacher and good friend. She got Type II diabetes and suffered from it more than most. It got much worse than Type II diabetes usually gets, she was totally losing her ability to function inrepparttar 137071 kitchen and had to be told not to cook or userepparttar 137072 stove. But a check when it kept worsening provided a clue: she was suffering from a degenerative brain disease which would 1) destroy her short term memory (1 second) but 2) leave her long-term memory. She is fully aware ofrepparttar 137073 fact that she no longer functions like she used to: she just has no grasp ofrepparttar 137074 present and she is now totally physically dependent upon 100% care support for all physical functions. Onset of a degenerative disease ofrepparttar 137075 brain and of unknown causes.

So five cases, five different causes, similar results but differing degrees. Simple words with frightening visualizations but not so bad when we try to understand just what it is: Dementia: Senility: two terms probably similar in meaning. More inrepparttar 137076 article Dementia: Will I Get It?
