Visual detox refers to purifying the eyes of debris, toxins, and the effects of bad visual habits. Debris build-up can affect vision health and contribute to the onset of eye disease. These diseases can include eye irritation, effects on lacrimation related to dry eyes, glaucoma, and macular degeneration (AMD). Focusing too much on close-up computer screens leads to computer eye strain symptoms and reduces the free flow of energy to the eyes. As the eyes’ health is directly connected to whole-body well-being, we must look at detoxification from a whole-body perspective.

Macular degeneration is also known as AMD, which is an acronym for “Age-Related Macular Degeneration.” It is the leading cause of irreversible blindness. Limited conventional treatments are available. However, natural remedies can go a long way toward reducing the risk of AMD onset. They can help prevent AMD from progressing to the point of vision loss. And, in many cases, lifestyle considerations and targeted supplementation can improve vision loss from AMD.

Not all foods play well together. Meat and Potatoes. Surf and Turf. Chicken with Rice. Sounds yummy, right? However, proponents of food-combining diets would not combine protein with carbs, and or mix different types of proteins. Food combining advocates believe that eating certain types of food in the same meal can lead to disease, toxin buildup, and digestive issues. They also believe that proper combinations can help relieve these problems.
Food-combining principles first appeared in the Ayurvedic medicine of ancient India, but they became more widely popularized in the mid-1800s under the term “trophology,” or “the science of food combining.”
The principles of food combining were revived in the early 1900s by the Hay diet.

The human body contains approximately 36 trillion cells. Cells communicate with each other every millisecond of life to coordinate functioning and maximize health. The mind-body connection includes how you think, and how organs communicate back and forth with the brain.
Keeping in balance in Western medicine is referred to as “homeostasis”. An example of homeostasis is maintaining the optimum body temperature at 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit. When you exercise, your body sweats to cool off. If you are cold, you shiver involuntarily to create more body heat.

Senior citizens have the highest rates of eye issues and conditions. This includes macular degeneration, glaucoma, cataracts, diabetic retinopathy, dry eyes, poor night vision and eye floaters. These diseases and conditions can also happen in much younger people. You get most of your sensory input through vision. Healthy vision is essential for daily functioning, independence and high quality of life.
The good news is that lifestyle and diet have a big impact on the eyes. You can take self-help actions to promote healthy vision, and significantly reduce the risk of getting eye diseases. Nutrition is scientifically proven to affect the health of the eyes, brain and entire body.
Traditional Chinese Medicine is a whole-body, personalized approach to managing health conditions and pain. Developed in ancient China, TCM unblocks the flow of energy in the body – the “chi.” Practitioners stimulate specific points on the body using tiny, sterile needles. They may also recommend herbal formulas. The acupuncture points are on the body’s meridians, which are energetic channels. Many meridians lead to the eyes, so imbalances in the meridians can impact eye health.

The “battery” of the cell, the mitochondria, is crucial to good health. However, when mitochondrial function is compromised, it can lead to a host of health issues, ranging from neurodegenerative disorders to cardiovascular diseases. Understanding the intricate relationship between mitochondrial health and overall well-being is essential, particularly when it comes to brain and eye health.
