There is no doubt that it would be great to through away your glasses for good, and improve your vision using natural methods. Stop a minute and really think about it…..
No more costly eye exams or paying inflated prices for your glasses or other eye procedures. There are no more cases of lost glasses or struggling to read a menu or price tag. Really, life would be bliss! You can utilize things like the power of gamma brain waves or even mediation to improve your ocular health.
There are an estimated 150 million people who wear glasses in America alone, according to the Vision Council of America. Additionally, there are over 36 million contact lens wearers. With the cost of exams, and corrective products the Americans spend over $28 billion each year in order to improve their poor or diminishing vision.
Really? That is a ton of money when you really think about it! However, there is hope, and several unconventional ways that you can improve your vision and finally get back to an eyeglass free life.
Supplement Your Diet
You likely know that a well-balanced health diet can improve your health and well-being. However, it can also impact your eyesight. Some of the following foods, supplements and herbs can actually work to prevent eyesight problems, improve ones that exist, and in some cases work toward totally eradicating the condition. These items include:
· Passion Flower: This will relax the small blood vessels that are located in your eyes which will reduce the stress that is in the muscles.
· Ginkgo Biloba: this is a free-radical that can increase the flow of nutrients and blood to your retina.
· Beta Carotene: this is an antioxidant that is found in dark green and orange-yellow fruits and vegetables. When consumed your body will convert it to Vitamin A, which is essential for the proper functioning of your eyes.
Consuming these foods, herbs and supplements regularly can improve a wide array of vision problems or issues that you may be suffering from.
Eye Exercises
Another unconventional method that can help you improve your vision is utilizing eye exercises. Your eyes are a muscle, therefore just as other muscles need exercise to be strong, so do your eyes. When they do not receive this exercise they can become weak. When you have a strong eye muscle it means you can improve your vision. There are many specially designed exercises that can actually reverse the deterioration and actually improve your vision and ability to see clearly.
When you actively use eye exercises you will strengthen and train your eye muscles by stimulating the muscles that are not usually used during regular everyday activities. There are many studies that have shown that the eye exercises can improve the following vision issues:
· Aging Vision
· Astigmatism
· Farsightedness and Nearsightedness
· Eyestrain

Dear competition,
If you catch me looking at you before a race, know this: I am not judging you. I am not sizing you up. I am not fearful that you are better than me. I am not thinking that I am better than you.
I'm simply acknowledging you, appreciating you, and feeling grateful to race alongside of you. You may have some strengths that are my weaknesses and I may have some strengths that are your weaknesses, but together we fight to the finish with the same goal in mind.
If it weren't for you, there would be no race, no competition, no determination, no motivation and no will to win! Your talent, dedication and discipline fuels my fire each race. So when you see me looking at you, know that I am silently thanking you for pushing me to be the best athlete that I can be! Copyright: Kimberly Trefilek

I quit the whole30 and I feel the best i've ever felt. I NEVER quit at anything. I quit not because I couldn't do it, but because I refused to do it anymore. Let me explain. I am someone who is conscious of what goes in my body and I eat pretty healthy & clean on a regular basis. I have a few indulgences in the week that make me quite happy, such as pizza, dark chocolate & gluten free pancakes from walker brothers. As my friend said I'm not one to live in a box. I knew the whole30 would be a challenge with always being on the go, working long days, hating to cook & loving food, especially convenient foods like oatmeal & protein shakes. However, I did it & to my surprise it wasn't that hard. I went 23 days without a cheat meal & following the guidelines perfectly. I decided to detox from coffee as well. The first 2 weeks were extremely hard on my body. I had no energy (no coffee), I was super tired & hungry and I was "detoxing" (aka going to the bathroom) all the time. It got so bad that I wasn't even absorbing any nutrients. After week two I felt better and did notice some positives. My skin was extremely clear and I realized it is possible to not experience any cravings. I loved it! But then, everything took a turn for the worse. My workouts were weak, my skin broke out worse than it ever has, my digestion issues got so bad that for the past few days I experienced the worst stomach & back pain & contractions I've ever felt in my life to where I couldn't sleep. It was hard to work. I was not productive at all and napping every day. My clients, friends & family say I look beat up & tired & that I haven't been my bubbly self. Instead I've been irritated and lethargic. I'm not sure what it was in the whole30 program that caused me to feel this way as I have eaten all of these foods before, but my body was not happy. So after learning to let go of my ego & stubbornness I decided I have to quit feeling this way. I really didn't want to, I had only one more week, but I couldn't imagine feeling in this much pain for one more week. I work a lot & have a lot of projects coming up & fitness goals I'm trying to accomplish. I can't accomplish ANYTHING feeling like this. The whole30 is meant to make you feel good and healthy and I felt the exact opposite. So after a breakdown of learning to let go of my ego, I'm finding balance again. I quit the whole30 and went back to Kim healthy! The day i quit, i did an experiment and maxed out at Portillos - burger, hot dog, fries, shake, you name it. The next day, I felt the best I felt in the past month!! I knew something wasn't right after that. After that experiment, i'm now back to oatmeal, protein shakes, quinoa, dark chocolate, coffee occasionally & cheat meals when I feel like having a damn cheat meal. I'm an athlete and I need to fuel my body like one. My body needs carbs and sugars and grains, but the healthy kind. Whole30 did teach me a lot though. I learned that I am in control of my cravings and that I can eliminate them completely. It taught me that I can be creative when cooking. That I can give up coffee if I want to. It taught me that I'm in control & having a balanced lifestyle is important. What it taught me most is thta the most important thing is listening to my body. It also backed up my belief that everyone's bodies are different and react differently to certain foods & ways of eating. I got rid of some bad habits, like putting creamer in my coffee (I can't believe i liek coffee black now!) and being mindful of sneaky sugars. I'm glad I did the whole30 because of what I learned. I'm not saying you shouldn't try the whole30. It's a great experience. To those who have tried, succeeded & feel the way you're supposed to feel after the whole30, I'm proud of you, keep it up! As for me, suck it whole30.

Don't workout and eat healthy purely for the fact to LOOK GOOD, that will come. Live a balanced healthy lifestyle to feel good, be healthy and prolong your life. Working out and eating healthy PREVENTS you from multiple illnesses and diseases. You only live once, LIVE IT WELL.
