Our eyes are two of the most important things in our lives. We use them every second we are awake. They help keep us safe, recognize friends, and select things we like. It is possible to lead happy and healthy lives without being able to see, but it would be very different. Therefore, taking good care of your eyes is critical. Washing your eyes with saline1 solution2 is just one way to maintain eye health. It is also important to make foods that are rich in vitamin A and beta carotene3 part of your diet.

Eyes can be overused just like bodies and minds. Reading, using computers, and other activities amount to daily eye stress. That is why it is a good idea to take time to do eye-relaxing and eye-strengthening exercises. An example of an eye-strengthening exercise would be to move your eyes in all directions. First, keep your head and neck straight while breathing normally. Next, roll your eyes to the left for a few seconds. Blink a few times, and then roll them to the right. Continue to move your eyes in every direction you can–up and down and corner to corner. To relax your eyes, sit with your elbows4 on a desk or table. Rub your hands together until they are warm. Then, shape your hands like cups and place them over your closed eyes.

我們的眼睛是生命中最重要的東西之一。我們醒著的時候,無時無刻都會用到它們。眼睛能使我們保持安全,讓我們認(rèn)得朋友,并幫我們選出喜歡的東西。一個人眼睛無法視物固然還是有可能過著快樂健康的日子,不過生活肯定大不相同。因此好好照顧您的靈魂之窗是極其緊要的事。用生理食鹽水清洗眼睛只是眼睛保健的方法之一。同時,把富含維生素A及β-胡蘿卜素的食物當(dāng)成您日常飲食的一部份,也是很重要的一件事。

正如同身體和心智,眼睛也會被過度消耗。閱讀、使用計算機(jī)、或進(jìn)行其它活動都等于是每天為眼部制造壓力。這正是為什么花時間進(jìn)行放松及增強(qiáng)眼部的運(yùn)動是個好主意。鞏固眼睛的范例運(yùn)動之一便是四處轉(zhuǎn)動您的眼球。首先ㄧ邊正常呼吸,一邊將您的頭和脖子保持成一直線。然后將眼睛轉(zhuǎn)向左邊維持?jǐn)?shù)秒。眨幾下眼,接著轉(zhuǎn)向右邊。繼續(xù)盡量朝各個方向轉(zhuǎn)動您的眼睛--從上到下,以及從角落到角落。要放松您的眼睛,請坐下來將手肘擺在書桌或桌子上。互相搓揉您的雙手,直到它們發(fā)熱為止。接著將手弓成杯狀,將它們覆蓋于閉起來的雙眼上。
