This Missing Tip is designed to help remind you to take the time to practice some or all of  the techniques in the article like focusing on a distant object to reduce tension and damage to your eyes.

And here it is the missing Tip. Set your watch or cell/portable phone alarm to ring quietly or better yet vibrate on your desk or in your pocket every 15 minutes. When it rings take the time to practice one of the recommended tips like rolling your eyes to moisten them so you have less visual fatigue. After you remind yourself often enough by the use of the alarm you will form a habit that will help protect your valuable eyesight. If you don’t have a cell phone or a watch with an alarm you could follow this link to read about Small Digital Minute/Second Timers .

Enjoy a wonderful day, David

Tip One

Adjust the zoom setting on the document once in a while.  So your eyes are not set on the same size letters every moment of the day. This is possible in most word processors and document

Tip Two

Support the health of your eyes by remembering Vitamin A has another name. It is called Retinol related to the Retina of our eyes. Retinol is important to the health of our eyes. Foods that contain significant amounts of Vitamin A are apricots, asparagus, beet greens, broccoli, cantaloupe, carrots, collard, dandelion greens, papayas, peaches, pumpkin,  red peppers, spinach, sweet potatoes, and yellow squash. Enjoy these sight nourishing foods whenever you can. If you want more suggestions on different foods that can help nourish your eyes and many parts of your body I recommend an excellent book many health stores and wellness practitioners use as a reference text. It is called Prescription for Nutritional Healing and I have my own copy right by me as I write. I needed it to check the spelling of Prescription!

Tip Three

Make sure your monitor is in front of you at eye level – elevate it on a platform if you have to. Sometimes a few big books will work! If you still have phone books to elevate the screen they will do the trick.

Tip Four

To help keep all your body including your eyes moist you need to make sure your body is well hydrated. Keep yourself hydrated by sipping water throughout the day. I recommend you have a water bottle close by that you can sip from frequently. If you are interested in using a stainless steel water bottle that you can use at work and to and from work you can check out my stainless steel bottle review posted here. It is full of helpful guidelines.

Tip Five

Perform fun activities like rolling your eyes to reduce eye strain every ten minutes or so. People working close by you will wonder what is going on!

Tip Six

Focus on a distant object every few minutes – perhaps when you are thinking up a new phrase or checking for something in your memory. Look into the distance rather than downwards.

Tip Seven

Use a Liquid Crystal Monitor (LCD) like on a laptop. It offers better contrast for viewing purposes. If you don’t have a LCD monitor you can start your research by following this link to information on a LCD Monitors

Please forward this posting to a friend to help them protect their eyes too.

Best Wishes,

David

NOTE: As a personal coach who believes strongly in the positive impact of drinking water on mental and physical fitness I am often asked what is a good stainless steel bottle to buy. So I decided to write a review on the bottles I know of including some I have used.  I have made comparison using particular features that I believe will be of importance to you.

For my time to research and write this article (it took me several days to compile the info) if you buy via a link on this posting I receive a small fee from Amazon but you do NOT pay anymore that if you went directly to Amazon to buy a water bottle.

This review is only on stainless steel water bottles. Each of the following companies makes at least one model of water bottle with stainless steel. Depending on the company they may also made bottles from plastic and aluminum. For pricing examples and additional information please click on the BLUE links located in this article or at the end of it.  Remember if you leave this article to check up to date pricing on a bottle and you want to read of this article just simply click on your back browers button to return to here.
