today I'm going to share with you how to improve your eyesight naturally without these things right here glasses I cannot stand these glasses and they call them corrective lenses but do they really correct anything no the more you wear them the more that you need a stronger prescription in fact when I wear these especially for long periods of time oh my gosh my eyes are killing me did you realize that by the age of 45 most people need glasses what is going on I think this video will be a game changer for you if you
have this very specific problem that I want to share with you it's something that the eye doctors rarely test for unfortunately in the routine eye test did a little Deep dive and I found there's this other thing called contrast sensitivity loss the loss of being able to differentiate different Shades of Gray things will look blurry especially if there's not enough light this is definitely a breakdown with the retina and it could be also the lens but it's a different problem you when you go to an eye doctor they'll put a chart up with the letters
and you have black letters on a white background that is actually high contrast they're evaluating different problems with the eye that are not necessarily related to this contrast sensitivity loss that's a completely different test and it's not a routine thing that they test for if someone has this loss of contrast sensitivity adding more light can greatly help the person see that doesn't actually fix the problem it helps you compensate for the problem there's certain patents there's certain research done that if a person starts to increase certain antioxidants in the eye that can improve this condition
why would an antioxidant improve your vision you normally have several antioxidant in the retina area that protect the eye against Blue Light if you look at the spectrum of light out of all the different individual waveforms blue light is the highest energy it can create most damage this is probably why we have these antioxidants in the eye to protect our eyes from blue light and the category of antioxidants is called carotenoids these antioxidants not just protect you against Blue Light they protect you against all sorts of problems in the eye being a diabetic or pollution
or any chemicals in the body that go through the eye those antioxidants can actually protect the eye as we age our carotenoids go down our protection in the eye goes down as well when you're 20 years old you have this super concentrated density of antioxidants in the back of the eye in the re out then you get older 45 50 59 like myself it's significantly lower then the efficiency of absorbing light goes down by age 65 you need twice as much light to be able to see like you did when you're 20 years old because
you no longer have the efficiency of absorbing light like you used to this is why adding more light will help you but it doesn't solve the problem it only gives you a temporary solution and so one solution is definitely to get an extra light make sure you get a bulb that is a full spectrum light and like and you want to actually shine it on what you're reading and studying and you will be able to see better but we need to do something else to increase the efficiency of your retina let's get into what you
need to do to correct that our ancestors did not spend all day long inside in a dim room looking at a cell phone flipping through Tik Tok videos our eyes were not designed to do that our eyes were designed to interact with the Sun's light of course in 1980 the introduction of sun phobia like fearing the sun was introduced with all sorts of sunscreen and all sorts of sunglasses which by the way make you look really cool but they definitely stop that light from going into the eye regular dose of natural sunlight on the eyes
is a very therapeutic thing why well one reason is you get UV light into the eye infrared and infrared is very healing to the eyes infrared also builds up melatonin in the eyes which is one of the most powerful antioxidants in your cells this entire Sun phobia I think was a huge mistake UV radiation to the eyes is not nearly a problem if you have the protection the carotenoids you want to get more light into your desk or wherever you're studying you need to start eating foods high in lutein and zanthin these are two carotenoids
that you can find in egg yolks but the problem with egg yolks is if you consume egg yolks from a commercial egg not a pasturas egg you're going to get three times less catenoids with commercial eggs there are also a lot of supplements out there that you can get that have lutein and zanthin I'm going to recommend that you find one that has at least 10 milligrams of lutein and 2 milligrams of zanthin also if you can find one that has olive oil in it or MCT oil or some fat that can help the absorption
because catenoids are fat sble another solution is just to take this supplement when you're eating food because they're going to get absorbed a lot better in this one paper significant Improvement in decreasing macular degeneration improving the loss of contrast sensitivity by taking these two carotenoids for 12 weeks also highly recommend you at the same time stop consuming seed oils I'm talking about in the salad dressing and the mayonnaise soy oil the canola oil the cotton seed oil the sunflower oil these are very high in omega-6 and they can go into our membranes in the eye
and they can interfere with the retina it's a great paper on this which was given to me by Dr Chris Kenobi who's an opthalmologist who specializes in the eye that paper was really about uh getting rid of the seed oils and replace it with an ancestral diet uh something that's more a natural diet that doesn't have all the refined Foods another important food to consume would be fatty fish salmon because the omega-3 are really good for the eye also to reduce inflammation of the eye as well you think about it the retina is just an
extension of the brain and the retina needs DHA that's a omega-3 fat acid and you can get that in fish oil or cod liver oil let's come back to the topic of vitamin D is that important for the eye wow it really is I looked at the research in vitamin D every uh part of the eye is improved with vitamin D A lot of conditions are improved too like Goma there's research by another opthamologist from Germany who gets fantastic results with high doses of vitamin D for glucoma which is an increased pressure in the eye
there's a lot of research on taking vitamin D for macular degeneration using vitamin D to help reduce uh the complications of retinopathy which is eye damage from diabetes I recommend you take at least 10,000 IUS of vitamin D3 every single day of course vitamin A which is actually in egg yolks is very important in the eye as well if you lose vitamin A it's hard to see at night in summary you need to get outside more if you're in front of your desk and computer cell phone for a long period of time need to get
outside and get sunlight and the meantime you can get another full spectrum light that shines more lights so you can actually wear these less that will give you time to build up your carotenoids in the eye because as you age you have less carotenoids and now the efficiency of absorbing light is going to be less Lutine zanthin are the two that you need to build up over a period of three months of course eat foods high in that as well egg yolks civer oil vitamin D throw some zinc in there that can help as well
the reason why most people need glasses at age 45 is because our eyes were designed to be outside not in front of a computer thanks for watching and I will see you in the next video
