Cupping your eyes and doing eye exercises every 30 min. when working on a screen can greatly help maintain muscle balance in the eyes and alleviate eye strain. 

Protect your eyes by using full-spectrum light during the day.  At night time, block the blue (white) light to enable your body to produce melatonin.  Exposure to blue light at night time blocks melatonin production, which can cause insomnia.  Check into amber light bulbs, screen settings, or wearing low-blue light glasses.  To learn more about this read my article: Light a Vital Nutrient and the information the sites above.

GUT MICROBIOME, BRAIN, & IMMUNITY

 

Establishing and maintaining a healthy gut microbiome is vital.  Over 70% of your body’s immunity comes from your gut microbiome.  When the body becomes overloaded with toxins and pollutants (e.g., bad diet, environmental pollution toxic chemicals, GMOs, etc.) it eventually breaks down and goes through an elimination process. 

This in turn produces a cold or flu, depending on the level of toxicity and pollution.  To help rid the body of toxins, the cells produce mucus, viruses, and exosomes.  To prevent a yearly cold or flu, stop polluting your body (externally and internally) and improve your gut microbiome with a nutritious, organic diet.

 

Symptoms of an unhealthy microbiome include: bad breathe, constipation, candida outbreaks, weight gain or loss, eczema, psoriasis, gas, bloating, mucus congestion, dry coughing, pimples, acne, depression, behavioral problems, mental illness, sleep apnea, and insomnia.

 

Your gut and brain are connected via the vagus nerve.  Your gut microbes tell your brain how the body feels and how to think.  So, if you are experiencing brain fog, mental problems, depression, or anxiety, change the microbes in your gut by nourishing the good microbes and starving the unhealthy ones.  AVOID air pollution and smoking, and eliminate refined sugar and carbs, alcohol, GMOs, fluoride, damaged fats/oils, especially canola oil.

Quality protein, EFAs in balance, a high fiber, nutritious, organic diet, minerals, sunshine vitamin D, vitamin C complex, and natural vitamin A help protect the cells from bacterial invasion and viral overload. 

KIDNEYS

 

In order to function and eliminate properly, your kidney’s need natural vitamin A, along with various minerals in balance such as magnesium and potassium.  A magnesium deficiency can produce kidney stones.  Exposure to chemicals from your environment, medication, or food can lead to kidney disease.  Seafood, commercial agriculture, and/or medications are common sources of toxic metals that can also damage the kidneys. 

Dark circles and/or puffiness under the eyes indicate kidney stress, adrenal burnout, and foods that are irritating to the body.  Alcohol, black pepper, and medications or drugs can be as irritating or damaging to the kidneys as are various agriculture and environmental chemicals.  Eliminate them.  There are healthier alternatives such as those mentioned below.
