Leafy green vegetables and colored fruits are also good for the eyes... eaten..















Carrots may be good for the eyes, but so are leafy green vegetables and colored fruits, University of Georgia scientists report.

Green leafy vegetables and colored fruits may affect visual performance and may prevent age-related eye diseases, according to a new study in the Journal of Food Science.

These foods contain the carotenoids such as lutein and zeaxanthin, which play an important role in vision and have a positive impact on the retina, scientists led by Billy R. Hammond, PhD, a professor of neuroscience and experimental psychology at the University of Georgia, say in a review of previous research.

Lutein and zeaxanthin may help reduce disability and discomfort from glare, enhance contrast, and reduce photostress recovery times, the researchers say, and also may increase visual range.

The researchers write that their review on the effects of lutein and zeaxanthin is important because "it is clear that they could potentially improve vision through biological means."

They cite a 2008 study that suggests the pigments protect the retina and lens, and may "even help prevent age-related eye diseases such as macular degenerationand cataract."

Hammond and colleagues reached their conclusions after reviewing multiple studies of the effects of lutein and zeaxanthin on visual performance. The researchers say about 600 carotenoids can be identified in nature, but only a fraction is absorbed by people.

Lutein and zeaxanthin are found in kale and spinach, among other vegetables.

Of about 20 carotenoids found in human blood, only lutein and zeaxanthin are found in the visual system, the researchers write, suggesting these pigments play a "special role" in human vision.

Green is the best color for our eyes.... green is the color of nature.. symbolizes growth, harmony, freshness and fertilitiy...




















Green is the color of nature. It symbolizes growth, harmony, freshness, and fertility. Green has strong emotional correspondence with safety. Dark green is associated with money.

Green has great healing power. It is the most restful color for the human eye; it can improve vision. Green suggests stability and endurance. Green, as opposed to red, means safety.

And it depends on which green you use:

Dark green is also associated with ambition, greed, and jealousy.
Yellow-green can indicate sickness, cowardice, discord, and jealousy.
Aqua is associated with emotional healing and protection.
Olive green is the traditional color of peace...

Safe? 'organic' for our mind? rid off greed, envy, anger,worries, hatred, pride, revenge, critics... these are dangerous if we have them in our mind..

If our body can go 'organic'..
Our mind can go 'organic' too...
Feed only safe and beneficial foods..
to our body, mind, emotion and heart....

It is also good that we sometimes have weaknesses and imperfections... well, who is perfect then? no one...
























Look at these chairs...

The chair in good condition
looks good and strong...
But if we were to misuse it
and smash it with hammer..
The chair will soon be
out of shape and distorted..
Thus of no more use...

But if the chair is at breaking edge...
We had someone to fix it and use it properly...
The chair can be used for a long time...
Or for a longer time as predeclared..
Taking great care and patience...
Before it becomes useless...

Likewise, our body's health...
Knowing the weaknesses in our body,
Knowing our risk factors of our body..
We will be more careful as to treat it with care..
And we still can maintain our health till time ends...

But sometimes, knowing
that our body is strong and fit..
We overlooked and over-estimated..
What we thought and perceived...
Is not what we can stand up for..

Taking for granted..
We tend to overwork, over-strain,
over-stress, overeat, over-drink,
over-sexed and poisoning it sometimes...
Alcohol, cigarettes, drugs, pills,
unknown medication and food..

Thus unexpectedly we might be dying
before our time comes...

Read twice... think thrice...
are you the first chair or the second?
Or that you don't even belong to any type?

Best of all, be the proper strong chair,
take proper precautions and maintenance
and live double the life span as expected...
fit in all 4 dimensions..

So, why can't we be living healthier and happier?
