Why is exercise good for my eyes?

[Stewartsville]

Getting fit doesn't just do a body good. It's great for your eye health, too. Vigorous exercise, such as running, can protect your eyes from the two leading eye problems that occur over time: cataracts and macular degeneration. Not a runner? Any workout that pumps up your cardio fitness, such as biking, roller skating, swimming, or lifting weights, can protect your eyesight by reducing inflammation in your body that can negatively impact your eyes. If it's been awhile since you've exercised, begin slowly to build stamina.

Doing exercise, no matter which kind of you take, it will relax your eye muscles, then further to adjust your vision. Talk palming for example, sit quietly with eyes closed and take some deep breaths to relax yourself completely. Rub the palms of your hands vigorously, until they become warm and place the palms gently over your eye lids. Feel the warmth of the palms being transferred onto the eyes and the eye muscles relaxing. Your eyes are being bathed in soothing darkness. Stay in this position until the heat from the hands has been completely absorbed by the eyes. Keeping the eyes closed, lower the hands. Once again rub the palms and repeat the process at least three times You can do this each day to get your eye relaxed especially when you get tired.
