Eye-Saving Recipe

Research suggests that Omega 3 fatty acids can protect against macular degeneration and also help alleviate dry eyes. Vitamin A helps prevent night blindness, dry eyes, and cataracts from forming and also may have a role in preventing blindness from macular degeneration.

Roasted Salmon
Serves 4
4 8 oz salmon filets, no skin

Prepared this way in many restaurants, this recipe is very easy and comes out perfectly every time. If you do not have an oven safe sauté pan, transfer the fish to an ovenproof dish after first side is seared.

Preheat oven to 450 degrees.

Heat sauté pan over high heat until very hot. Season fillets with salt, pepper and olive oil. Put salmon fillets in pan, seasoned side down, and cook over medium heat for 2-3 minutes, until a nice brown crust has formed. Do not move them. Turn the salmon and place the pan in the oven for 7-8 minutes. That's all there is to it!

Serve with braised greens
(good source of beta-carotene and Vitamin C)
Braised Greens
1 tablespoon canola oil
1 cup vegetable stock or chicken stock
1 tbs minced garlic
8 cups mixed greens (chard, kale, mustard greens, and endive)
Juice from 1 lemon

Combine canola oil, stock and garlic in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Add greens, cover and cook for 2-3 minutes or until greens are wilted. Add lemon juice. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Dry Eyes

Did you know that excess tears running down your cheeks could be a symptom of dry eyes? When the eye isn't getting enough lubrication a signal is sent through the nervous system for more lubrication. In response, the eye is flooded with tears to try to compensate for the underlying dryness.

Other dry eye symptoms may include:

* A sense of a foreign substance in your eyes.
* Stringy mucus discharge in or around your eyes.
* Increased eye irritation
* A stinging, burning or scratchy sensation in eyes.
* Eye fatigue after short periods of reading.
* Light sensitivity
* A gritty sensation, itching, redness
* Blurring of vision

Tears are composed of three layers: an outer layer of oil, a middle layer of water and an inner layer of mucous. An imbalance in the composition or a decrease in the amount of tears produced are the two primary causes of dry eyes.

Some causes of dry eye are environmental - low humidity, high altitude, second-hand smoke, etc. Others are habitual - people tend to blink much less when staring at a computer or engrossed in work that demands high concentration. Still others are nutrition based - lower levels of vitamin A or Omega 3 fatty acids, for example. Dehydration also contributes to reduced tear production. Some doctors believe that dry eyes increase in post-menopausal women. Medications can also interfere with proper tear production. In some cases, an under-functioning thyroid is indicated.

Tips for Dry Eyes:
• Blink regulary and lightly. (The eyes normally blink every 3-5 seconds.)
• Drink plenty of water. (1/2 ounce of water for each pound of body weight per day.)
• Use only natural eye drops. (Two brands we recommend are Similasan and PrimaVu).
• Eat plenty of red/orange and green vegetables
• Eat cold-water fish 2x/week
• Use a complete vision & body supplement formula
• Regulate the humidity in your office or home if possible. (35-50% humidity is suggested.)
