14 Things Your Eyes Can Tell You About Your Health (If You Know What Look For)

A unique window into health  are your eyes. A list of 14 things your eyes can tell you about your entire body has assembled Yahoo Health.

Here are some of them:

DISAPPEARING EYEBROWS

A STYE THAT WON’T GO AWAY

It could be a rare cancer called sebaceous gland carcinoma if it doesn’t clear up in three months, or keeps recurring in the same location.

This is the result of “computer vision syndrome” (CVS). By the lack of contrast on a computer screen, and the extra work involved in focusing on pixels is partly caused the eyestrain .

A SMALL BLIND SPOT IN YOUR VISION, WITH SHIMMERING LIGHTS OR A WAVY LINE

A migraine aura produces this disturbed vision. It may or may not be accompanied by a headache.

WHITES OF THE EYE TURNED YELLOWISH

This is known as jaundice. It appears in either newborns with immature liver function, or adults with problems of theliver, gallbladder, or bile ducts.

EYES THAT SEEM TO BULGE

Hyperthyroidism, which is overactivity of the thyroid gland  is the most common cause of protruding eyes.

SUDDEN DOUBLE VISION, DIM VISION, OR LOSS OF VISION

These are the visual warning signs of stroke.

BLURRED VISION IN A DIABETIC

For several eye problems diabetics are at increased risk, but the most common is diabetic retinopathy, in whichdiabetes affects the circulatory system of the eye. In American adults it’s the leading cause of blindness.

One of your most precious senses  is your eyesight but until it starts to fail it’s easy to take the gift of sight for granted. Unfortunately, a side effect of diabetes  is one of the leading causes of blindness in American adults. When you consider that today, nearly 1 in 4 Americans are either pre-diabetic or diabetic this is disconcerting.

To an increase in vision problems due to eye strain also led the increased use of computers and video display terminals (VDTs) at home and work has.

IS POOR VISION INEVITABLE AS YOU AGE?

No, it’s not.

But if you’re not careful our modern lifestyles can contribute to poor vision. Fortunately, to support your eye health there are many actions you can take. Studies show people over age 60 may need even more support in the form of well-chosen nutritional supplements. You may also need additional vision support if:

• You smoke
• You’reobese
• You’re diabetic
• You spend a lot of time staring at a computer

Below, including nutritional support I’ll review a number of protective strategies, but first, can your eyes really tell you something about your overall state of health?

Yet another technique in that same vein, used by some alternative health practitioners is  Iridology, or iridodiagnosis, which is the study of the iris of your eye.

If You Don’t Want Your Kids To Be ill Mannered, You Have To Stop Making These 5 Errors

Something that happens to almost every parent are children having temper tantrums and misbehaving, without them even recognizing the issue. Luckily, for you, here, we’re going to present you 5 errors that every parent makes and should stop making them right now!

If you don’t react to these little behaviors and actions in time, you will bring about certain repercussions in your children’s lives.

That was also confirmed by Mrs. Emma Jenner, a very famous woman known for her show on TLC “Take Home Nanny”. There, she revealed 5 errors parents make that sooner or later would suffer the consequences.

According to Emma, it is vital that parents start demanding more from their children or to expect more from them and involve them in their endeavors and difficulties. To give them less, in order to force them to get themselves going. To challenge them.

HERE ARE THE FIVE ERRORS PARENTS NOWADAYS REPEATEDLY MAKE:

#1 You’re afraid of your children 

Example: If a child wants to drink milk from a different cup, and not their usual one, parents immediately start looking for another cup instead of ignoring the request. They fear that their child will cry or refuse to eat.

Emma considers this to be a huge mistake. Your child shouldn’t command you. You have to let them cry if they want to and go someplace else if you don’t want to hear it, but never raise your children indulging every single one of their wishes along the way. You must think about what message you´re sending them when you give them all they want just because they are crying. Are you going to do something about it?

#2 Making excuses (“That´s how children are”)

One of the 5 errors is this one. If you justify their misbehavior and outbursts in public by using this phrase, you’re motivating your children to continue misbehaving and be irresponsible.

Children are actually capable of doing much more than their parents can expect. This goes for respect, manners, everyday domestic work, generosity and self-control.

Emma claims that you should raise the expectations you have for your children, that way you’ll teach them how to behave properly.

#3 You don’ let others scold them

Back in the day, teachers and professors could scold our children when they behaved improperly.

They were our eyes and ears when the children were out of our sight. Nowadays this is almost impossible, because if a teacher or an employee gives a piece of their mind to a child, parents tend to get mad. They don´t even try to find out what happened to cause this kind of a reaction from a superior. If you act like this, you’re basically telling your children to misbehave and that neither you, nor the teacher, or the employee would do anything to stop them.

#4 Children come in the first place

One of the 5 errors is this one, too. Parents tend to look after their children too much. It’s good for the evolution, but we should also create a timetable adaptable to children’s needs, such as food, clothes, nursing and others.

Parents nowadays are taking it to another level, subjecting their own obligations and mental health to children, to satisfying all their needs and requests. You can’t give them everything they want, when they want. You can’t also burst out running for everything they ask for. This will take your peace and your health away, it will stress you out, but above all, it will show your children they are the ones that are in control.

Nothing will happen to your child just because you’ve taken some time for yourself (unless there’s an emergency of some kind), neither will anything happen if you say “No.”

#5 They use to take advantage of the shortcuts

Parents today often resort to a series of shortcuts to avoid their children getting bored and thus start misbehaving. They only burden them with electronic devices whenever they´re waiting for a doctor’s appointment, boarding a plane, waiting for a bus, or just cooking and cleaning at their homes. You have to teach your children how to be patient, when they should learn how to amuse themselves on their own. They should also learn that food won’t be ready and served whenever they want it to be. Above all, you should teach your children they need to help in the kitchen, but not with actual cooking, but with doing the dishes.

This will help them become stronger. Try not to make these 5 errors and be a better parent for your children!
