Dr Barbara recommends let's talk about how big this problem really is the World Health Organization says that at least 2.2 billion people worldwide have trouble seeeing in the United States the Centers for Disease Control and prevention tells us that about 12 million people over 40 have vision problems what's really worrying is that younger people are having more eye problems too now eye doctors are very being very concerned today about children's eyesight because children are having overexposure to short range that's in all the computers game boys television things like that they're having over exposure to short range and underexposure to long range in fact a study in 2019 found that more and more kids are becoming nearsighted compared to 50 years ago our modern way of life is a big part of the problem we're always looking at screens we eat a lot of processed foods and we don't spend enough time outside all of this combined leads to quicker deterioration of the eyes but it's not just nearsightedness we need to worry about dry eye syndrome eye strain and even more serious conditions like macular degeneration are on the rise the American Academy of Opthalmology reports that nearly 3 million Americans aged 40 and older have some form of glaucoma a leading cause of blindness remember that glasses do weaken your eyes so as much as possible don't wear your glasses obviously there might be times that everyone's taking their glasses on obviously there might be times when you will need them but as much as possible cuz I've spoken to some people and they've said well I need them for reading I said but you don't need them for anything else I don't wear them for anything else because what you will find is that your eyes will adjust according to Dr Barbara O'Neal one common behavior that increases eye problems is excess usage of eyeg glasses when screen time and other factors cause strain to the eyes and many turn to glasses for Relief however constant wear May weaken eye muscles Barbara O'Neal suggests limiting glasses used to specific tasks like reading or using phones this approach keeps eye muscles active and potentially improves Vision over time in fact a study in the Journal of Opthalmology supports this idea researchers found that Progressive addition lenses commonly prescribed for near vision problems can lead to increased myopia progression in children compared to single Vision lenses this suggests that overreliance on Vision AIDS may not always be as beneficial as we were told Dr O'Neal believes that many of the common eye problems can be prevented or improved through natural means now let's explore some of her eye healing secrets that big Pharma doesn't want you to know the surprising benefits of caster oil for Eye Health let's start with a secret weapon for Eye Health that might surprise you caster oil this natural oil derived from the seeds of the Caster plant has been used for centuries in traditional Medicine Dr O'Neal believes it could be a GameChanger for many common eye problems and there is a way that you can get rid of cataracts and that is one drop of castor oil wiped over the eyelid it'll go through the lashes the castor oil will penetrate in through the eyelid and also into the eye through the lashes castol penetrates deeper than any other oil and wherever it penetrates it breaks up unnatural formations which a cataract is castor oil is rich in rolic acid a fatty acid with powerful anti-inflammatory properties here's how Dr O'Neal recommends using castor oil for Eye Health for dry eyes apply a single drop of organic hexane freec caster oil to each eye before bed the oil helps to lubricate the eyes and prevent tear evaporation a study in the journal corna found that castor oil ey drops were effective in reducing symptoms of dry eye syndrome for cataracts gently massage a drop of castor oil onto your eyelids twice daily while more research is needed some studies suggest that the antioxidants in Castor oil may help slow the progression of cataracts a preliminary study in the Indian Journal of Opthalmology found that caster oil eye drops showed promise in reducing cataract formation in rats I've had several people get back to me and testify that their cataracts are going by doing the Castoro usually you would do it twice a day gloma can also be benefited by the castol on the eye for glaucoma Dr O'Neal suggests that the anti-inflammatory properties of castor oil may help reduce intraocular pressure a key factor in glaucoma later in the video Dr O'Neal also talks about her secret herbal eyewash recipe and how you can make it yourself now you've probably heard that carrots are good for your eyes but did you know that a wide variety of foods can support Eye Health Dr O'Neal emphasizes the importance of a nutrient-rich diet for maintaining and improving Vision so there your three essential food groups your fiber there's your vegetables all your plant your your uh your fruits proteins and your healthy fats they will give your eyes all the nutrients that they need but what are some specific examples of these food groups that you can consume according to Dr O'Neal leafy greens a study published by the Harvard Medical School found that people who ate the most leafy greens had a 20 to 30% lower risk of developing glaucoma spinach kale and collared greens are rich in luten and zanthin Powerful antioxidants that protect the eyes from harmful light waves fatty fish salmon sardine jeans and mackerel are excellent sources of omega-3 fatty acids research published in The Archives of Opthalmology showed that people who consumed high levels of Omega-3s had a 30% lower risk of developing macular degeneration over a 12year period berries blueberries blackberries and Goji berries are packed with antioxidants that can help prevent cataracts and macular degeneration people who ate the most fruit had a 36% lower risk of developing ing age related macular degeneration packed with antioxidants these small fruits protect your eyes from harmful free radicals regular consumption can help maintain good vision and potentially reduce the risk of age related eye conditions nuts and seeds almonds walnuts and chia seeds are excellent for Eye Health rich in vitamin E zinc and omega-3 fatty acids they provide essential nutrients for maintaining strong Vision these crunchy snacks can help protect against cataracts and support overall eye function Dr O'Neal recommends incorporating these Foods into your diet regularly for a powerful Eye Health boost she suggests making a colorful salad with leafy greens berries and nuts Dr Barbara also talks about the eyes healing power of sunlight how can you strengthen your eyes strengthen your eyes by giving them rest strengthen your eyes by allowing them to experience the sun remember your eyes are an extension of your brain and your brain needs sun and it gets the sun through the eyes and different sun rays give different messages to the eyes that's why if you wear glasses make sure there's times in the day where you don't have your glasses so the ultraviolet rays can give their messages through here's how Dr O'Neal recommends harnessing the power of sunlight for Eye Health safe sungazing early morning or late afternoon when the sun is low on the horizon close your eyes and face the Sun for a few minutes the light penetrating your eyelids can stimulate the peal gland and boost the production of melatonin which is beneficial for Eye Health vitamin D production sunlight helps our bodies produce vitamin D which is crucial for Eye Health a study published in jamama Opthalmology found that higher blood levels of vitamin D were associated with a lower risk of age related macular degeneration you see when the sultra vet Rays from the Sun hit the skin they convert a form of cholesterol just under the skin to vitamin D now did you notice what this this is converted to vitamin D cholesterol you can have someone with vitamin D deficiency because they're on cholesterol lowering medication so when the sun's Rays hit the skin they convert a form of cholesterol just under the skin to Vitamin D it takes 2 hours for the conversion to happen so if someone goes into a shower and washes thems with soap straight after their exposure to Sun they will get no vitamin D you have to wait 2 hours you can lay in the sun dive in the creek and you won't lose it because you're not scrubbing your oil off out door time aim for at least 2 to three hours of outdoor time daily this not only exposes your eyes to natural light but also allows them to focus on distant objects which can help prevent eye strain and myopia progression Dr O'Neal EMP emphasizes that these practices should be done safely avoiding direct sun exposure during peak hours and never looking directly at the sun she suggests starting with short periods and gradually increasing exposure time in addition to sunlight during the day Dr onil also stresses about the importance of quality sleep for Eye Health we all know sleep is important for overall health but did you know it's crucial for Eye Health too and if you are enjoying this video so far kindly hit the like button and subscribe to the channel for more Health insights like this one we have a book in the bookcase called better eyesight without glasses by Dr William Bates Dr William Bates nearly lost his credentials over writing this book and he shows how you can strengthen your eyes he says in that book that strain strengthens your eyesight the only time strain doesn't strengthen your eyesight is if you're tired and how many people are straining their eyes like late at night when they should be asleep you know how often parents say you you'll hurt your eyes reading in that light early in the morning no it strengthens the eyes it's only when the eyes are pushed to their limit when the body needs to rest you know why because your eyes are an extension of your brain and when your brain's tied your eyes are tied it's like whipping a tied horse further further and the poor old horse gets to the stage when you go to get for work and it won't even get up and that's what's happen during sleep our eyes undergo important processes of repair and regeneration a study published in the journal sleep found that people who slept 7 to n hours per night had healthier eyes and were less likely to develop glaucoma compared to those who slept less Dr O'Neal recommends aiming for 7 to n hours of sleep per night in a dark quiet sleep environment you should also avoid screens for at least an hour before bedtime as blue light can disrupt sleep patterns and potentially harm Eye Health what can also increase the output of these hormones at night is sunshine through the day not only sunshine through the day but sleeping in the dark because remember my initial statement was that light and dark signals are fed through the optic nerve so when we give it a very clear clear messages of Sunny Day Dark Night the pineal gland gets nice clear messages so sleeping in the dark's very important if someone leaves needs a bit of light in the night I suggest getting one of those little night lights that you can plug into the PowerPoint that will not interfere with the pineal gland it's like moonlight so you want about the light of the Moonlight but that's not all Dr O'Neal also talks about the benefits of eye exercises but the particular exercise that strengthens the eyes is when you rebound you focus on something where I'm staying at the moment where the rebounder is there's windows that have frames like this so what I do is I focus on the frame and the plant outside jumps in my peripheral vision and then after 10 seconds I change my focus and my focus on the plant outside and then the window frame jumps like this so so if every 10 seconds on the rebound rebounding you you keep changing your focus can you see how that is strengthening the muscles in your eyes you exercise your body to stay fit but what about your eyes Dr O'Neal believes that regular eye exercises can significantly improve vision and Eye Health one exercise Dr O'Neal recommends is called rebounding rebounding or bouncing on a mini trampoline can surprisingly benefit your eyes this loow impact exercise boosts blood flow throughout your body including to your eyes it may help nourish eye tissues reduce inflammation and improve overall Eye Health she suggests gently bouncing for a few minutes daily focusing on distant objects while you jump she also talks about the secret herbal eyew wash Dr O'Neal has a special recipe for an herbal eye wash that she believes can soothe and heal tired irritated eyes the main ingredients are golden seal and eye bright two herbs with a long history of use in traditional medicine for eye health so there is an eye wash that is very beneficial for Sore Eyes for bloodshot eyes for dry eyes and this can also be used for glaucoma it's um a half a teaspoon of golden seal and a half teaspoon of ibrite golden seal contains berberine a compound with powerful antimicrobial properties ibrite as its name suggests has also been used for centuries to treat eye conditions here's Dr O'Neal's recipe for the herbal eye wash one mix half teaspoon each of powdered golden seal and ibrite two add one cup of boiling water three let it cool and strain thoroughly four use it as an eyewash several times a day Dr O'Neal also stresses the role of hydration in Eye Health we often Overlook the importance of proper hydration for Eye Health Dr O'Neal stresses that drinking enough water is crucial for maintaining healthy eyes Dr William Bates he shows hey can strengthen your eyes and the last chapter has a summary and basically he puts these laws of Health there because your eyes need hydration our eyes are constantly producing tears to keep the surface lubricated and clear of debris when we are dehydrated tear production can decrease leading to dry irritated eyes a study published in the journal investigative Opthalmology and visual science found that mild dehydration can significantly reduce teer film volume and increase tear film osmolarity both of which contribute to dry eyye symptoms Dr O'Neal recommends drinking at least eight glasses of water a day she also suggests incorporating water-rich Foods into your diet such as C cucumbers watermelon and zucchini she also discusses the power of stress reduction for Eye Health some points to remember is that when you have eye strain when your brain is tired it weakens the eyes so when's your brain tied students end of the day so eye strain in the evening can weaken your eyes stress doesn't just affect your mood it can also impct impact Your Eye Health Dr O'Neal emphasizes the importance of stress reduction techniques for maintaining healthy eyes a study published by the glaucoma Research Foundation found that people with high stress levels were more likely to develop glaucoma this happens because chronic stress leads to increased intraocular pressure a risk factor for glaucoma Dr O'Neal recommends incorporating stress reduction techniques into your daily routine meditation mindfulness meditation could help lower intra ocular pressure in patients with glaucoma deep breathing practice deep diaphragmatic breathing for a few minutes each day this can help reduce overall stress levels and promote relaxation yoga certain yoga poses particularly inverted poses may help improve blood flow to the eyes however if you have certain eye conditions consult with a healthc care professional before trying these poses while Dr O'Neal advocates for natural approaches to Eye Health she also stresses the importance of regular eye exams many eye conditions such as glaucoma can develop without noticeable symptoms in the early stages regular checkups can catch these conditions early when they're most treatable a comprehensive eye exam can also detect signs of other health conditions such as diabetes and high blood pressure Dr O'Neal recommends getting a comprehensive eye exam every 1 to two years
